| Abstract | With ample continued attention for the global food security challenges by thought leaders, the private sector and policymakers (e.g. the Irish Presidency of the EU) and others, there is a strong continued call on the research community to deliver more evidence on what are effective food security strategies.
Since its start about a year ago the research teams in FOODSECURE have progressed substantially on their envisaged research goals. Teams have been revisiting the common understanding of the drivers and indicators of food and nutrition security and the potential linkages between economic, social and environmental factors of risk to food and nutrition security, or FNS in short.
In the coming months, the current building blocks will be integrated into a framework that connects FNS indicators to their drivers of change. A database with partly new country-level information on indicators of FNS and potential causes will contribute to evidence on local policies and development aid. The modelling toolbox will support the development of exploratory scenarios with stakeholders therewith supporting a new set of IPCC climate change scenarios |
