Food Security Standard: Principles, Criteria and Indicators

The FSS principles, criteria and indicators build on the rights-based food security principles and criteria formulated by Mohr et al. (2015, 2016), which are based on the Human Right to Adequate Food, the definition of food security offered by the World Food Summit (1996) and the Right to Food Guidelines adopted by the FAO Council in 2004 (FAO 2005). Within the framework of the FSS Project “Implementation of food security criteria within the framework of biomass sustainability standards,” the principles and criteria were further elaborated and developed, and respective indicators were formulated.
