dc.descriptionTo date, there has existed no index that offers a holistic understanding of the current dynamics of food trade and how different global change scenarios are likely to impact food trade in the future. While indices on different individual elements do exist, we present a new composite index integrating several existing metrics for both current and future scenarios. This new index, the Jameel Index for Food Trade and Vulnerability (Jameel Index), will serve as a useful tool by synthesizing these previously isolated metrics in a novel and meaningful manner. The Index is designed to gain understanding of historic behavior, forecast near-term vulnerabilities, and project future vulnerabilities using models to project how future global change scenarios will impact global food production and trade. Such a tool could, optimistically, guide policies and investments that support the causes of international development and food security.
