Abstract
It presents the findings of a study that analyzed the relationships between different household food security indicators used in the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) system. The study aimed to examine how well these indicators align with each other and with the IPC's Acute Food Insecurity Reference Table. The poster summarizes the key findings, including the correlations between different indicators, the limitations of using single indicators, and the need for a combination of diet diversity and experiential indicators in IPC analyses. The study's results have implications for improving the accuracy and reliability of food security assessments and classifications.
