About the FOODSECURE logo
The heart of the logo presents a stylized version of a wheat ear in the shape of a shield, which symbolizes the need to protect vulnerable people from hunger and malnutrition, particularly in times of protracted food crises. The shapes around the ear refer to the complexity of the policy environment for decision-making on global food security, to the three regions most affected (Africa, Asia and Latin America), as well as the three pillars in the project: understanding determinants, exploring futures, and giving guidance on policies that matter.
