Abstract
In this paper, we draw out a set of axioms for food security measurement that follow
directly from the internationally agreed 1996 FAO definition. Building on recent work on
the theory and measurement of development resilience, we then propose an empirical
strategy to measure food security that addresses these measurement axioms better than
do prevailing measures. We empirically illustrate this approach using a panel data set from
northern Kenya.
