Abstract

National food insecurity early warning systems and food policy interventions need reliable information concerning the classification of food insecurity. The aim of this paper was to produce an acute food insecurity classification in Mozambique, by: i) analyzing food insecurity indicators individually; ii) comparing it with a new integrated analysis of survey-based indicators called the "Matrix Analysis." The Matrix results show more severe classifications than the single indicators for the analyzed districts. The matrix novelty consists on a cross-tabulation of all indicators, allowing a less subjective analysis. Further research is needed on how the Matrix approach could complement national classification systems.

莫桑比克农村地区粮食不安全分类：基于调查指标的综合分析。

国家粮食不安全预警系统和粮食政策干预措施需要有关粮食不安全分类的可靠信息。本文旨在通过以下方法对莫桑比克的严重粮食不安全状况进行分类：i) 单独分析粮食不安全指标；ii) 将其与一种新的基于调查指标的综合分析方法 "矩阵分析法 "进行比较。矩阵分析的结果表明，对所分析地区的分类比单一指标更为严重。矩阵的新颖之处在于对所有指标进行交叉分析，从而减少了分析的主观性。关于矩阵方法如何补充国家分类系统，还需要进一步研究。

期刊介绍： Ecology of Food and Nutrition is an international journal of food and nutrition in the broadest sense. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of food and nutrition -- ecological, biological, and cultural. Ecology of Food and Nutrition strives to become a forum for disseminating scholarly information on the holistic and cross-cultural dimensions of the study of food and nutrition. It emphasizes foods and food systems not only in terms of their utilization to satisfy human nutritional needs and health, but also to promote and contest social and cultural identity. The content scope is thus wide -- articles may focus on the relationship between food and nutrition, food taboos and preferences, ecology and political economy of food, the evolution of human nutrition, changes in food habits, food technology and marketing, food and identity, and food sustainability. Additionally, articles focusing on the application of theories and methods to address contemporary food and nutrition problems are encouraged. Questions of the relationship between food/nutrition and culture are as germane to the journal as analyses of the interactions among nutrition and environment, infection and human health.
