1.
Which indicators capture the impact of multiple sectors on food
security?
•
Rationale
: efficient, broad interest, galvanise support for further
development
•
Examples
: Food Production Index, prevalence of underweight
children under 5 yrs.

Example:
Food import dependency ratio favoured over other trade

Going to briefly present on a study that I did in partnership with FAO on food security indicators.
This content explores the development of a framework for Pacific food security indicators, highlighting the importance of measuring availability, access, utilization, and stability in the food sector. It discusses the impact of multiple sectors on food security, identifies key indicators, and emphasizes the need for investment in improving food security measures. The content also delves into specific indicators related to agriculture, health, education, food industry, trade, environment, and more, with a focus on stimulating discussions and supporting phased approaches for development.

Study Study Pacific Food Security Indicators. A framework for Development, 2014 Stimulate discussion Support a phased approach by: Identifying available and high quality food security indicators Identifying indicators for greater investment.
Methodology Methodology 1. Which indicators capture the impact of multiple sectors on food security? Rationale: efficient, broad interest, galvanise support for further development Examples: Food Production Index, prevalence of underweight children under 5 yrs. 47 47 142 142
2. Which ones are currently measurable, regularly collected and available for many PIs? 18 18 47 47

3. Repetitive? Best indicator for the measure? Example: Food import dependency ratio favoured over other trade indicators because it captures food imports, exports and agriculture contribution to GDP 18 18 5 5
Suggested priority indicators Suggested priority indicators 1. Prevalence of obese adults 2. Prevalence of underweight under 5 s 3. Food import dependence 4. % of household expenditure on food 5. % change in food CPI
Medium term Medium term Measures of micronutrient deficiency (i.e. anemia, vitamin A); Measures of calorie supply, including production variability and adequacy; Measures of calorie consumption, particularly composition and access; Indicators on post-harvest losses and food storage and preservation; Sources of household food consumption (i.e. home grown or imported); Additional measures of food price levels and volatility; Legislative issues around food quality and control by government; Impact of natural disasters on food security.
Food Security indicators Rationale Prevalence of obese adults Top FS indicator + Common national ag indicator Food indicators Prevalence of underweight children Top FS indicator + Common national ag indicator + SDG Food import dependence Top FS indicator + strong links with common national ag indicators % household expenditure on food Top FS indicator + easily obtainable from HIES % change in Food CPI Top FS indicator Measures of micronutrient deficiency Attainable from HIES research for SDGs Measure of calorie consumption Attainable from HIES research for SDG 2.1.1 Contribution of local production to diets Common national ag indicator + original NMDI
