More specifically, definitions and measures of food insecurity are beginning to move away from focusing on siloes of access, availability and utilization, and consider factors such as food sufficiency, nutrient adequacy, cultural acceptability, safety, and certainty and stability of foods (Coates, 2013). Accordingly, using indices or scales has become a more common approach to capturing these different dimensions; leading to a more comprehensive understanding of food insecurity. In the global SDG indicators framework, it has been agreed to use the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) to estimate the prevalence of moderate and severe food insecurity.
