Food security as resilience: reconciling definition and measurement

By J. Upton, J. Cissé, Christopher B. Barrett. 2016

170 citations recorded by the source corpus.

In this article, we draw out a set of axioms for food security measurement that follow directly from the internationally agreed 1996 FAO definition. Building on recent work on the theory and measurement of development resilience, we then propose an empirical strategy to measure food security that addresses these measurement axioms better than do prevailing measures. We empirically illustrate this approach using a panel data set from northern Kenya.
