Background: Food security is one of the most vital constituents of human security. The objective of the present study was to evaluate simultaneous access to food security and bioethics in sustainable agriculture. Conclusion: In the last decades, it seems that human in relation with nature, has ignored ecological and ethical aspects and disregarded the nature.
Therefore, Sustainable agriculture will not fulfill its prophecy to provide food security unless there is respect for ethical aspects in this way. Contrastingly, conventional agriculture, by anthropocentric point of view, does not consider ethically any living beings except human and without respecting living beings’ intrinsic value. Organic agriculture is an approach in sustainable agriculture and has been emerged from a non-anthropocentric attitude. Results revealed that organic agriculture has faith in intrinsic value for nature and its living beings as a whole. It believes that human food security is related to preserve nature’s integrity thereby preserving integrity of the nature is depended to respecting its ethical value. The fact is, considering bioethics in sustainable agriculture and ideal production is not divergent but also bioethics is a vital commitment in agriculture to achieve global food security.
