dc.description.abstractThe Sustainable Development Goals call for an end to poverty (No Poverty) in all its forms everywhere to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition (Zero Hunger). Food insecurity (food poverty) – the inability to access affordable food, or the worry that you may be unable to do so – and hunger are of increasing concern in developed countries. There are various indicators used to measure the prevalence and severity of food insecurity internationally and this paper compares and contrasts three of these: EU Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) food deprivation measures, the FAO Food Insecurity Experience Scale Survey Module, and the USDA Household Food Security Survey Module (HFSSM). We conclude with a discussion of the HFSSM and its application and dominance in the UK’s Family Resources Survey and Food Standards Agency’s Food and You (2) survey to quantify the existence of hunger and associated anxiety about affording and accessing food, Finally we discuss opportunities to broaden further its applicability for UK household food security measurement.en
