INDICATORS OF LIVELIHOODS AND FOOD SECURITY
Food security indicators are summary measures
of one or more of the dimensions of food security
used to demonstrate change or the result of a
program activity for a target population.
Indicators are constructed from a set of
observations, or measurements, of food
security-related conditions, which are classified
according to a set of criteria, aggregated, and
placed in some program relevant perspective.
In most analyses of food security conditions in
developing countries, multiple indicators are
used to reflect the various dimensions of the
problem.
