Abstract

Background: Food security for children and the elderly is a complex global issue needing multisectoral, community-based efforts to improve nutrition and well-being. Interventions across health, agriculture, social, and educational sectors can effectively combat malnutrition and insecurity. This study reviews strategies that enhance food security for these vulnerable groups.Methods: A systematic review from 2000 to 2025 used PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar to study community based interventions for children and elderly on food security and nutrition. Data analysis identified intervention types, effectiveness, mechanisms, and factors influencing implementation, including facilitators and barriers.Results: Of 15 studies, interventions combining nutrition, behavior change, and social-agricultural support improve nutritional status and food security for children and the elderly. Free meal programs boost child participation, diet quality, and academic performance. Success factors include multisectoral integration, community engagement, and ongoing policy support.Conclusion: Multisectoral, community-based strategies boost food security and nutrition for children and elderly. Cross-sector collaboration and sustained interventions are key for lasting impact.
