Sustainability foods systems are affected by factors which include price volatility, climate change, food losses and waste. The term “Sustainable food” has been used as a way to combine the concepts of food security and sustainability. Both food security and sustainability depend upon the post-harvest technology for their stability. This paper seeks to illuminate the potential of review of literatures on climate change, food security, sustainability and post-harvest Technology. Relationship between food systems, and food security were examined, while the concept of post-harvest technology and roles in sustainable food production for food security was addressed.
