Food and Nutrition Security: Analytical Fallacies and Way Forward

Food and nutrition security (FNS) being a key priority area in development planning, requires good predictive models for holistic analysis of the concept, representative of the multi-dimensional linkages associated with the complex phenomenon.

We suggest possible integration of the measures within the scope of a multifaceted framework in light of the limitations and potential risks in using them in isolation.
