Food Security Standard (FSS) National Food Security Assessment (NaFSA) tool 1.1

Abstract

The Food Security Standard (FSS) provides practicable and measurable criteria and tools to ensure the Right to Food on sustainably certified agricultural production sites. The National Food Security Assessment (NaFSA) tool is part of the toolbox of the FSS. The purpose of the NaFSA tool is to identify potential critical themes regarding food security and the realization of the Right to Food at national level that are relevant for an audit that includes the FSS. Prior to the audit, the auditor has to familiarize him-/herself with the food security situation and the related overall framework conditions in the audit country and become more familiar with the manifold aspects of food security and the Right to Food. The NaFSA tool consists of 8 categories relevant for food security and the Right to adequate Food with a total of 27 indicators.
