Food-security assessments in emergencies: a livelihoods approach
http://www.odihpn.org/report.asp?ReportID=2301
This paper describes the theory and practice of Oxfam GB’s livelihoods
approach to assessing food security in emergencies. A livelihoods approach
simply means emergency programming aimed at supporting livelihoods, as well
as saving lives. In terms of food-security assessments, a livelihoods
approach involves assessing the longer-term risks to livelihoods, as well as
short-term nutritional or life-threatening risks.

Demographic Methods to Assess Food Insecurity: A North Korean Case Study
Document
The paper begins with a review of methods for assessing nutritional
status, particularly in emergencies; a brief history of the North Korean
food crisis (1995–2001), and a review of the available nutritional and
health data on the DPRK. The main focus of the paper is on the results of a
survey of 2,692 North Korean adult migrants in China. Recognizing certain
biases and limitations, the study suggests that sample households have
experienced an overall decline in food security, as evidenced by both the
decline in government rations from an average of 120 grams per person per
day to less than 60 grams per day, and by the increase in the percentage of
households relying on foraging or bartering of assets as their principal
source of food.
