• Food and Nutrition Security Indicators: A Review (2013, background): “…depending on the target groups or the time horizon of the analysis (e.g. net food buyers versus sellers, short term versus long term impacts) (Swinnen, 2011), the episode of high and volatile food prices of 2007-08 has definitely slowed down progress in terms of decreased malnutrition (von…”
• Improving the Measurement of Food Security (2012, unknown): “The 2008 global food crisis—and the academic debate surrounding its impacts on poverty (Headey forthcoming; Swinnen 2010)—revealed an additional shortcoming: the inability of international agencies and national governments to monitor food security in a sufficiently accurate and timely manner.”
• Self-Reported Food Insecurity in Africa During the Food Price Crisis (2013, methodology): “A first critique relates to the apparent inconsistency of these claims with earlier arguments that poor farmers and rural households in developing countries suffered heavily from low global food prices, partly as a consequence of rich countries’ agricultural subsidies (Swinnen, 2011).”
• Who Wants to Farm? Youth Aspirations, Opportunities and Rising Food Prices (2014, background): “…approach to the study of what influences choices with respect to farming: this adds value because it deepens understanding of, and adds realism to, the reductively economistic perspective that higher food prices will automatically be good for small farmers (see, for instance, Swinnen 2011).”
