Multi-scalar policy uptake of the six-dimensional food security framework
回顾了2022年提出的六维粮食安全框架(在传统四维基础上增加能动性和可持续性)在各级政策中的采纳情况,展示了该框架从全球到地方层面的应用进展。
In 2022, along with colleagues, we proposed a six-dimensional food security framework in a Food Policy viewpoint article that argued for the need to expand the commonly cited four pillar approach (availability, access, utilization and stability) by adding two additional dimensions: agency and sustainability. The proposal was not just for a new conceptual framework for scholarly analysis, but also for its application in policy settings. Over three years later, we are humbled to see widespread uptake of our call to embrace agency and sustainability as dimensions of food security in multiple tyles of policy settings at different scales. This brief policy comment outlines the growing recognition and application of the six-dimensional framework for food security in policy contexts from the global to the local level. We are hopeful that the growing application of this idea will help to make improvements in the global quest to end hunger.
