Conceptualizing and measuring food and nutrition security
Anne Walleser Kepple 1
Ana Maria Segall-Corrêa 1
Abstract An interdisciplinary conceptual framework of food security is presented that identifies
determinants at the macro-socioeconomic, regional-local, and household levels.
Food insecurity is described as having consequences for health
and well-being that may or may not be expressed
in the form of physical-biological consequences
such as underweight or nutritional deficiencies.
The implications of this perspective for measurement of food security are addressed.
A comparative review of indicators commonly used to assess
food security is presented, with special focus on
the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale, which was
included in the 2004 National Household Survey
(PNAD).
The history of the development of the
scale in the U.S.
and its validation in Brazil are
described.
Characterized as a direct measure of
household food insecurity, this psychometric scale
can be used together with indicators and measurement instruments from diverse fields to broaden understanding of this complex phenomenon.
