Having read through the other comments and realized that there is significant contestation surrounding the extension of the food security concept to agency and sustainability, I would like to add one more comment. The report fortunately applies this extended concept of food security, originally suggested by the HLPE-CFS itself.
While conceptualizing food security through global models, based on comprehensive data-sets, the anchoring of these models in bottom-up participatory approaches is crucial, not only in regard the reliability of the data, but also in regard the framing of the problems and the inherent assumptions in the models (cf: Kaiser et al 2021; Saltelli et al 2020).
