Discussion No. 18
Closing the Gap - Linking Food Security Information to Effective Decision Making
The link between 'technical' consensus and decision making is difficult to make partially because analysis of a food security situation, based on security information systems are often very technical and the 'translation' to a more political level are often difficult to make.
