Experience-based food security scales (EBFSSs) have been shown to be valid across world regions. EBFSSs are increasingly been included in national food and nutrition assessments and food hardship items have been added to regional and global public opinion polls. EBFSSs meet the SMART criteria for identifying useful indicators. And have the potential to help improve accountability, transparency, intersectoral coordination and a more effective and equitable distribution of resources. EBFSSs have increased awareness about food and nutrition insecurity in the court of public opinion. Thus, it’s important to understand the potential that EBFSSs have for improving food and nutrition security governance within and across countries. The case of Brazil illustrates the strong likelihood that EBFSSs do have a strong potential to influence food and governance from the national to the municipal level. A recent Gallup World Poll data analysis on the influence of the “2008 food crisis” on food hardship illustrates how even a single item from EBFSSs can help examine if food security governance in different world regions modifies the impact of crises on household food insecurity. Systematic research that bridges across economics, political science, ethics, public health and program evaluation is needed to better understand if and how measurement in general and EBFSSs in particular affect food security governance.

基于经验的家庭粮食安全量表是否有助于改善粮食安全治理?

基于经验的粮食安全量表 (EBFSS) 已被证明在世界各地区都有效。EBFSS 越来越多地被纳入国家食品和营养评估,食品困难项目已被添加到区域和全球民意调查中。EBFSS 满足识别有用指标的 SMART 标准。并且有潜力帮助改进问责制、透明度、跨部门协调以及更有效和更公平的资源分配。EBFSS 提高了公众舆论对粮食和营养不安全的认识。因此,了解 EBFSS 在改善国家内部和国家间粮食和营养安全治理方面的潜力非常重要。巴西的案例说明了 EBFSS 确实具有从国家到市政层面影响食品和治理的强大潜力。最近一项关于“2008 年粮食危机”对粮食困难影响的盖洛普世界民意调查数据分析表明,即使是 EBFSS 中的一个项目也能帮助检验世界不同地区的粮食安全治理是否改变了危机对家庭粮食不安全的影响。需要在经济学、政治学、伦理学、公共卫生和计划评估之间建立桥梁的系统研究,以更好地了解一般衡量和特别是 EBFSS 是否以及如何影响粮食安全治理。最近一项关于“2008 年粮食危机”对粮食困难影响的盖洛普世界民意调查数据分析表明,即使是 EBFSS 中的一个项目也能帮助检验世界不同地区的粮食安全治理是否改变了危机对家庭粮食不安全的影响。需要在经济学、政治学、伦理学、公共卫生和计划评估之间建立桥梁的系统研究,以更好地了解一般衡量和特别是 EBFSS 是否以及如何影响粮食安全治理。最近一项关于“2008 年粮食危机”对粮食困难影响的盖洛普世界民意调查数据分析表明,即使是 EBFSS 中的一个项目也能帮助检验世界不同地区的粮食安全治理是否改变了危机对家庭粮食不安全的影响。需要在经济学、政治学、伦理学、公共卫生和计划评估之间建立桥梁的系统研究,以更好地了解一般衡量和特别是 EBFSS 是否以及如何影响粮食安全治理。
