Greetings colleagues and thank you for your hard work. I hope the attached comments will be helpful. In summary, I encourage the authors to: 1) adopt a more updated conceptual understanding of the link between information and policy; 2) clarify the relationships between food security (specifically, access to food at the individual or household level), food consumption, and nutritional outcomes (and the data and methodologies associated with each); 3) distinguish between global/regional data and decision-making and national/local data and decision-making; 4) incorporate discussions of the important contributions of qualitative/ethnographic/interpretivist research and data and of citizen science.
Best regards,
