Resumen
Descripción
The 2012 Symposium brought together nearly 400 practitioners working on issued related to food and nutrition security information. The objectives of the symposium were to: 1) report on progress made in the five methods originally reviewed in the 2002 symposium, with a special focus on FAO’s undernourishment estimates, the use of household income and expenditure data, and questionnaires for measuring people’s experience of food security and hunger. 2) report on innovations in new metrics, particularly in regard to changes in the global and country contexts cited above. 3) move the discourse past information generation per se towards taking a closer look at how to increase the use of that information in decision making for food and nutrition security.
