The second Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger, defined by the United Nations, broadly focuses on several dimensions food access and availability, including measures hunger undernourishment, insecurity, malnutrition. Progress toward Hunger goal is monitored using indicators like Prevalence Undernourishment prevalence moderate or severe insecurity. These are widely regarded as accurately portraying underlying phenomena concern. There are, however, other considerations one may want to include when considering broader system, role sovereignty in rural areas low-income countries. This paper reviews measurements insecurity reflects how improve security and, conversely, it impede advances alleviating can be helpful tracking need progress Hunger.

Purpose Supply chains are a complex but integral part of the food distribution system with unique vulnerabilities, as agricultural production is function biological processes and goods perishable necessities. Various shocks, including pandemics, geopolitical conflicts extreme weather events, can cause disruptions to supply chain. International trade often plays an adaptive role in mitigating effects these shocks it allows for market-oriented redistribution resources that mitigate impacts localized shortages surpluses. Design/methodology/approach With this mind, our goal combine information on flows propose novel chain resilience metrics focusing key drivers over 50 countries. We focus heat (degree days above 29°C) maize, soybeans rice, approach general enough be widely applied any combination crops, partners weather/climate variables. Findings crops Leveraging globally gridded temperature data, we estimate United States find heterogeneous range across risk dimensions. In addition, provide detailed look at spatial correlations US its historical evidence could (potentially) enhanced via strategic relationships. Research limitations/implications America China demonstrate differences might arise from net-exporter versus net-importer perspective. Our results suggest useful disentangling country faces between own internal participation other countries’ chains. Practical implications Since exogenous endogenous patterns, also discuss how they adjusted relationships enhance resiliency. Originality/value pertinent insights policymakers promoting export expansion under climate change (USDA FAS, 2024). Moreover, provided here focused resiliency thus important component decisions given recent concerns Mexico centered around GM maize (Beckman et al ., 2024) seemingly improving US–India relationship.

Abstract As worldwide food prices rise, there is a growing interest in understanding the effect of these increases on households. Building previous work, while applying recent methodological advances, we focus our attention México during COVID-19 pandemic. We document price escalations for basket foods representative Mexican households’ diets. The are substantial across basket, ranging from 20 percent meat to 40 tortilla. Using estimates, calculate welfare escalation cost households $17.07 billion annually, close 1.5 Mexico’s Gross Domestic Product 2020. estimate would need increase their expenditure budgets by 28.66 percent, compensating variation, achieve pre-price utility levels.
