Climate change, food security, and livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa (2016, background): “For instance, the FAO derives its ‘‘undernourishment’’ estimates from national food balance sheets (which refer to a country’s food supply) and assumptions of intra-national food distribution (de Haen et al. 2011).”
Farm production diversity and dietary quality: linkages and measurement issues (2018, background): “To address this shortcoming, other dietary indicators that account for food quantities consumed should be used (de Haen et al. 2011).”
Adoption of agroforestry and the impact on household food security among farmers in Malawi (2016, background): “However, these measurements are data intensive, often times suffer from recall bias and are relatively costly to implement (de Haen et al. 2011, Shiferaw, 2014).”
Gender, agricultural commercialization, and collective action in Kenya (2012, methodology): “While our data are suitable for deriving household level measures of calorie consumption, more detailed analysis of intra-household distribution or nutritional outcomes were not possible (de Haen et al. 2011).”
Impact of tissue culture banana technology on farm household income and food security in Kenya (2014, background): “However, all these approaches have their methodological and empirical problems, and they are data-intensive and relatively costly to implement (de Haen et al., 2011).”
Impacts of supermarkets on farm household nutrition in Kenya (2015, background): “Various possible indicators exist in the literature (de Haen et al., 2011).”
Food and Nutrition Security Indicators: A Review (2013, background): “Third, the data on food availability are not fully reliable (Svedberg 2000)21 and the robustness of the indicator is questionable as it is very sensitive to the three parameters mentioned earlier (Naiken 2003, de Haen et al. 2011).”
Does Non-farm Income Affect Food Security? Evidence from India (2019, background): “As a result, various metrics of food security, as proposed in the literature, have often been found to be inconsistent with each other (13).”
Agricultural Commercialisation and Nutrition in Smallholder Farm Households (2019, methodology): “There are various ways to assess nutrition at individual and household level, including clinical measures, anthropometric measures, and food consumption-based measures, among others (de Haen, Klasen, and Qaim 2011; Masset et al. 2012; IFPRI 2016).”
Zinc-enriched fertilisers as a potential public health intervention in Africa (2015, background): “These weaknesses have been discussed extensively elsewhere (de Haen et al. 2011; Wessells et al. 2012; Joy et al. 2014).”
The food security system: A new conceptual framework (2012, background): “…issues of measuring food security and suitability of common indicators are beyond the scope of this paper and have been examined by several scholars (for example,, Barrett 2010; de Haen et al. 2011; Haddad et al. 1994; Headey et al. 2012; Maxwell 1996a; Maxwell et al. 1999; Webb et al. 2006 ).”
