This document discusses food security assessment in emergencies. It defines food security and its three dimensions: availability, access, and utilization. Food security is determined by interactions between agro-physical, socioeconomic, and biological factors. Assessments measure these dimensions and perceptions of insufficiency, uncertainty, etc. A range of indicators are used to reflect the multiple dimensions, including production, income, expenditures, consumption, and nutrition status. Process indicators reflect food supply and access, while outcome indicators provide information on the likelihood of events affecting household security. A variety of methods are discussed, from early warning systems to specific assessment approaches used by organizations.
The document discusses nutritional surveillance, which involves ongoing data collection, analysis, and reporting on nutrition-relevant data to help decision-makers ensure interventions are based on good information. It describes two types of nutritional surveillance - active and passive - and explains their objectives include describing population nutritional status, analyzing associated factors, and monitoring/evaluating nutrition programs. Key indicators used in nutritional monitoring are also outlined, such as food production patterns, anthropometric measures in children, and micronutrient deficiency rates. The roles of early warning systems and how their data can inform decision-making are also summarized.
This document discusses the key dimensions and components of food security assessment: availability, access, utilization, and stability. It describes chronic and transitory food insecurity, seasonal food insecurity, and safety nets. It also discusses measuring the severity of undernourishment using thresholds, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification system, vulnerability, and the relationships between hunger, malnutrition, poverty, and food insecurity. Reducing poverty requires a combination of economic growth, direct nutrition interventions, and investments in health, water, and education.
Food security is defined as all people having access to sufficient nutritious food at all times. There are four dimensions of food security: availability of food, economic and physical access to food, utilization of food for nutrition, and stability of the first three dimensions over time. Food security exists at national and household levels when all four dimensions are fulfilled simultaneously. There are two main types of food insecurity - chronic, which is long-term inability to meet food needs due to poverty or lack of resources, and transitory, which is short-term due to events like adverse weather.
Rao 6a varieties of measurement for food securitySizwan Ahammed
This document discusses measurement approaches for assessing food security. It introduces various classes of food security measures, including measures of food availability, access, dietary status, nutritional status, utilization, and health status. These classes range from more easily measured to more complex, and the appropriate choice depends on the policy purpose, desired accuracy, and available data and costs. The document also covers food security concepts, frameworks for understanding factors that influence nutritional status, and examples of indicators that can measure states and flows within the food system.
Food insecurity remains a global challenge. Achieving food security requires accurately measuring the incidence, nature, and causes of food insecurity. This allows for prioritizing interventions and targeting assistance. Conceptual frameworks help analyze the complex underlying causes of food insecurity and guide appropriate responses. Understanding factors like availability, access, utilization, and stability is key to selecting interventions to address problems like inadequate food, care practices, or health environments.
This document discusses food security and nutrition challenges in Ethiopia. It outlines that food insecurity and malnutrition violate human rights. Agriculture plays a key role in food security but faces challenges from population growth, climate change, and increasing costs. Current food systems contribute to health and environmental issues. Ensuring access to nutritious food for all people requires addressing availability, access, utilization and stability. Future work should promote research on nutrition, food quality and safety, while fighting hunger through community initiatives.
Derek Headey discusses measuring food and nutrition security in Egypt. He outlines key concepts like ensuring all people have access to sufficient, safe food at all times. To measure this requires a menu of indicators like calories, poverty, dietary diversity, and nutrition outcomes. However, each indicator has strengths and weaknesses. He emphasizes validating context-specific indicators like dietary diversity. Measurement systems must adhere to principles like representative, frequent surveys. Higher frequency data is needed to monitor resilience, but this could be achieved through lower-cost thin surveys between thick rounds.

AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD SECURITY STATISTICS IN UGANDA Johan Lorenzen
UBOS collects agricultural and food security data through various surveys and censuses to analyze Uganda's food security situation. This includes data on crop and livestock production, prices, sales, and household food consumption collected through censuses, sample surveys, and permanent data collection systems. This data is used by the IPC National Working Group to assess food security, classify areas by phase, and develop policy recommendations. While over half of households experience seasonal food shortages, the data shows differences in impacts and coping strategies across regions.

Indirect, nutrition-sensitive interventions address the underlying determinants of undernutrition through sectors like agriculture, social protection, and education. Essential nutrition actions promote seven evidence-based practices to improve nutrition, delivered through integrated health services and community programs. The document outlines considerations for planning, implementing and evaluating effective nutritional interventions.
This document discusses budgeting for food and factors that influence food budgeting. It outlines steps in food budgeting such as establishing the amount of money available, listing food items needed, and calculating costs. The document also covers food habits and patterns, roles of community health nurses, measurements of food security, pillars of food security, and challenges to achieving food security such as climate change and food waste. Safe food preparation and storage techniques are also summarized.
Intro into clinical nutrition lecture 1.pdfmunacopy
Clinical nutrition involves assessing a patient's diet and nutritional intake to determine if they are receiving sufficient nutrients. It aims to maintain a healthy energy balance and provide proteins, vitamins, and minerals. A clinical nutrition appointment involves taking a medical history, assessing health, and making dietary or lifestyle recommendations or supplement suggestions, with follow-ups to monitor progress. Nutritional status is influenced by food intake, quality and quantity, as well as health, and can range from malnutrition to obesity. Nutritional assessments identify those at risk or already malnourished to develop appropriate healthcare programs.

This document provides an overview of general methods of dietary assessment. It discusses various methods used at both the individual and national level, including food balance sheets, 24-hour recall, food frequency questionnaires, weighed food records, and dietary history. It also covers the purposes of dietary assessment, such as improving individual diets, planning food strategies, and assessing nutrition programs. Limitations of different methods are outlined. National agencies involved in nutritional surveillance in India, such as the National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau, are also mentioned.
Food fortification involves adding nutrients to foods that naturally lack them. For pregnant women in developing countries, food fortification can help address common nutrient deficiencies and improve pregnancy outcomes. Micronutrient deficiencies are widespread in these populations, putting pregnant women at risk. While food fortification has been shown to effectively reduce deficiencies, evaluations of programs need stronger methodologies to fully assess impact on health. Improving program design, implementation, and using standardized evaluation methods can generate higher quality evidence of food fortification's effects.
This document discusses strategies and approaches for nutrition interventions and food security. It outlines three levels for nutrition interventions: national, local, and individual. Community nutrition programs are described that focus on growth monitoring, breastfeeding promotion, nutrition education, and micronutrient interventions. Models for community nutrition interventions include the Triple-A cycle of assessment, analysis, and action. Key interventions for combating micronutrient deficiencies include dietary improvement, fortification, supplementation and immunization. The document also discusses dimensions of food security including availability, access, utilization and stability over time, and types of food insecurity such as chronic, transitory and seasonal.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

share - Lions, tigers, AI and health misinformation, oh my!.pptxTina Purnat
• Pitfalls and pivots needed to use AI effectively in public health
• Evidence-based strategies to address health misinformation effectively
• Building trust with communities online and offline
• Equipping health professionals to address questions, concerns and health misinformation
• Assessing risk and mitigating harm from adverse health narratives in communities, health workforce and health system
1. Key Message
• Food security means access by all people at all times to sufficient, safe and
nutritious food for a healthy and active life.
• Inadequate food security is one of the three underlying causes of malnutrition.
• Access to food can often be disrupted during emergencies. It is therefore vital to
do EFSAs to plan interventions to protect food security and ultimately nutritional
status.
• Food security cannot be measured through a single indicator so multiple measures
have to be used.
• There is no single standard method for assessing food security in emergencies and
different agencies have developed approaches that suit their individual needs.
2. Key Messages
• These approaches can be classified into three broad types: (i) early warning and
surveillance systems; (ii) economic and livelihood approaches; (iii) nutritional
status approaches.
• Whilst there is no single ‘best’ way to conduct EFSA, certain elements from
different approaches can be taken to form a ‘hybrid’ suitable for a particular
working context.
• Major challenges exist in EFSA including: the need for standardisation and
minimum standards in methods; incorporation of market analysis; and difficulties
of application in urban and insecure contexts.
• Including nutrition information in a food security assessment improves the quality
of the results and ensures an appropriate response.
3. Introduction
• The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines food insecurity as a lack of
consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life.
• It is important to know that though hunger and food insecurity are closely related,
they are distinct concepts.
• Hunger refers to a personal, physical sensation of discomfort, while food
insecurity refers to a lack of available financial resources for food at the household
level.
• Food insecurity is one of the underlying causes of malnutrition.
• In this module different emergency food security assessment (EFSA) approaches
are summarised and their advantages and limitations in different contexts outlined.
• Major challenges in EFSA are discussed
4. Food Security
• Food security, as defined by the United Nations’ Committee on World Food
Security, means that all people, at all times, have physical, social, and economic
access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their food preferences and
dietary needs for an active and healthy life
• Availability - Sufficient quantities of appropriate food are available from domestic
production, commercial imports or food assistance.
• Access - Adequate income or other resources to access appropriate food through
home production, buying, barter, gifts, borrowing or food aid.
• Utilization - Food is properly used through appropriate food processing and
storage practices, adequate knowledge and application of nutrition and child care,
and adequate health and sanitation services.
5. Food Security
• Over the coming decades, a changing climate, growing global population, rising
food prices, and environmental stressors will have significant yet uncertain
impacts on food security
• Adaptation strategies and policy responses to global change, including options for
handling water allocation, land use patterns, food trade, postharvest food
processing, and food prices and safety are urgently needed
