About indicator
The Global Food Security Index was designed and constructed by Economist Impact and is supported by Corteva Agriscience. The Economist Impact team exercises full and final editorial control over all content, including data gathering, analysis and forecasting. Economist Impact updates the model annually to capture year-on-year changes in structural factors impacting food security.
For the 11th iteration of the GFSI, Economist Impact convened an advisory panel of 11 experts in March 2022 to review and critically assess the GFSI framework, suggest modifications to the index in the form of adding or subtracting indicators and discuss alternatives for indicators with data constraints.
