Abstract—Considering that the existing food systems only pay attention to profit and efficiency and ignore sustainable development and equity, we decide to design a new evaluation scheme to improve and optimize the existing food system. Therefore, we decide to use the Entropy TOPSIS method based on factor analysis to screen more and comprehensive indicators to score the security of the food system. The food system changes priorities and optimizes equity as well as sustainability. This could lead to a more balanced and sustainable development of food security in the future, but it also comes at a cost. However, we strongly believe that such a system will eventually lead to a more balanced and sustained slow increase in global food security.
