Considering emerging economies like China and Russia, we analyze whether income growth as a major driver of nutrition transition has a significant effect on the consumption of different food aggregates and how these effects differ between both countries. Therefore, we estimate expenditure...

Any calls to move towards a centrally planned economy or autarky are strongly advised against, as this would only be to the detriment of food security in the Global South.

Der internationale Agrarhandel ist ein Schlüsselfaktor für die globale Ernährungssicherheit. Er schafft ein vielfältigeres Nahrungsangebot (e.g. Krivonos und Kuhn 2019), sichert gegen lokale Produktionsausfälle ab (Glauben et al. 2022) und hilft, sich regionale Produktions- und...

International agricultural trade is key to improving global food security. It ensures access to more diversified foods (e.g. Krivonos and Kuhn 2019 ), acts as a safety net against local production shortfalls (Glauben et al. 2022) and helps make use of regional climatic or resource-related...

The increasing availability of open-source and high-quality satellite data has facilitated market developments in the index insurance sector. So far, research and industry spheres have used administrative boundaries of units to estimate regional index values for insurance design. In areas with...

Commonly, resilience against external shocks is treated as a household or community capacity. Resiliency against food insecurity is of particular importance for rural household under the impression of recent price surges and supply chain disruptions. The aim of this paper is to analyze the...

Unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAV) are widely used for yield estimations in agricultural production. Many significant improvements have been made towards the usage of hyperspectral and thermal sensors. The practical application of these new techniques meanwhile has been limited by the cost of data...

Open-access gridded climate products have been suggested as a potential source of data for index insurance design and operation in data-limited regions. However, index insurance requires climate data with long historical records, global geographical coverage and fine spatial resolution at the...
