ISDC Director Tilman Brück‘s recent article (with Mekdim Regassa from the Leibniz Institute for Vegetable and Ornamental Crops) in Food Security is now also available in print.
The article surveys efforts that track food security in Africa using phone surveys during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors recommend that the scientific community focuses on countries (and regions and groups within countries) where the evidence base is thin, and that policymakers in less researched areas attract more research by improving their statistical capacity, openness, and governance.
Usefulness and misrepresentation of phone surveys on COVID-19 and food security in Africa is part of Food Security Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2023.
