本文综述了现有的一些粮食安全指标，讨论了基本概念的有效性以及在合理可行的条件下措施的预期信度。本文的主要目的是提高人们对现有不同质量的粮食安全测量工具之间的权衡的认识，当这些工具被提议用于实际应用时，特别是在国际监测框架内使用时，必须考虑到这些权衡。希望能够及时、有益地推动在2015年后发展议程中确定粮食安全目标和相关监测框架的进程。
This paper reviews some of the existing food security indicators, discussing the validity of the underlying concept and the expected reliability of measures under reasonably feasible conditions. The main objective of the paper is to raise awareness on existing trade-offs between different qualities of possible food security measurement tools that must be taken into account when such tools are proposed for practical application, especially for use within an international monitoring framework. The hope is to provide a timely, useful contribution to the process leading to the definition of a food security goal and the associated monitoring framework within the post-2015 Development Agenda.
