Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The present article justifies the necessity of improving the food security planning within the framework of implementing the millennium development goals. In this regard, the study develops a brand new approach in the theory of methodology for assessing and monitoring the global food security, aimed at forecasting quantitative scenarios of its development. A distinctive advantage of this approach is the ability to forecast optimistic, pessimistic and realistic scenarios for provision of food security levels regarding certain groups of countries depending on their economic development. This approach utilizes subjectivity in the process of monitoring the provision of food security levels and contributes to optimizing the ways to increasing it in conditions of uncertainty.
