The paper provides the first large-scale survey-based evidence on the impact of the global food crisis of 2007-08 using an indicator of self-assessed food security from the Gallup World Poll. For the sampled countries as a whole, this subjective indicator of food security remained the same or even improved, seemingly owing to a combination of strong economic growth and limited food inflation in some of the most populous countries, particularly India. However, these favorable global trends mask divergent trends at the national and regional levels, with a number of countries reporting substantial deterioration in food security. The impacts of the global crisis therefore appear to be highly context specific.

• Impact of improved maize varieties on food security in Eastern Zambia: A doubly robust analysis (2018, unknown): “Third, since respondents were asked as to how they perceived their food security situation in the last 12 months, the subjective measures are capable of capturing seasonality and other short-run food price movements (Headey, 2013).”
• The effect of education on household food security in two informal urban settlements in Kenya: a longitudinal analysis (2016, background): “The existing evidence points to a two way causal relationship between food security and education (Headey 2013).”
• The impacts of food price and income shocks on household food security and economic well-being: Evidence from rural Bangladesh (2014, unknown): “This argument has been further substantiated by recent studies examining the ‘food price shock, food security and economic growth’ nexus by Headey (2013) and Verpoorten et al.”
