 Monitoring How People Feed ThemselvesSusanna Davies
Chapter 4 in Adaptable Livelihoods, 1996, pp 60-78 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract This chapter explains the methodology developed by the SADS system, which had the following objectives: to establish a baseline of habitual food entitlements (based on the livelihood-entitlements framework presented in Chapter 2), against which temporary deviations or permanent changes could be measured. This baseline was defined in terms of when people last felt habitually secure in both their access to food and in their livelihoods; to develop a set of indicators which would predict whether or not people would achieve food security relative to this baseline, in a given season or year as well as over the longer term. Such indicators needed to address three dimensions to the success or failure of meeting food needs: (a) whether primary and secondary activities would guarantee food security;1 (b) if not, how people would cope with food insecurity; (c) how and whether they would recover from episodes of food insecurity or adapt to permanent changes in their food-security status.
