“…Despite the willingness to address food insecurity through the alleviation of poverty, those efforts are hindered by the lack of comprehensive data on the magnitude of the problem and the type of support needed. The study of food insecurity and undernutrition is a relatively neglected topic in public health research in Europe [15]. Across Europe, the European Quality of Life Survey is the only source of data on food insecurity but the survey itself has only one question dedicated to the topic.…”

“…Across Europe, the European Quality of Life Survey is the only source of data on food insecurity but the survey itself has only one question dedicated to the topic. [16] Although national nutrition and health surveys are a suitable source to derive food insecurity and malnutrition data (given that they are repeated frequently on nationally representative population samples), they do not cover the need for a clear description of the profile and needs of the people living under the risk of food insecurity [15]. Unfortunately, such data are scarce, with implications on the prevention and management of this growing public issue.…”

Food insecurity has risen by 40% in Europe’s post-economic crisis, linked to the economic turmoil and austerity. Despite the intensification of efforts to fight all forms of poverty, including the implementation of programs targeted to the most deprived, the study of individuals at risk of food insecurity has been largely neglected. This study aimed to map the nutritional habits and needs of the most deprived in Greece, one of the countries most affected by the economic crisis. Individuals classified as most deprived under the Fund for the European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD) criteria (n = 499) from across Greece and an age matched control from the general population (n = 500) were interviewed between December 2017 and December 2019. Participants provided information about demographic characteristics, and self-reported anthropometric measures and nutritional intake of the past month via a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Protein and energy malnutrition were defined as daily intake <1.950 kcal and ≤0.75 g/kg body-weight accordingly. Protein and energy malnutrition were high among FEAD recipients (52.3% and 18.6% respectively, p < 0.001), alongside a high prevalence of overweight and obesity (BMI > 25: 68.4% versus 55.1%; p < 0.001). The diet of FEAD recipients included higher amounts of carbohydrates, lower amounts of monounsaturated fat (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fat (PUFA; p < 0.001 compared to control), larger amounts of plant-based proteins (5.81 ± 1.7 versus 4.94 ± 1.3% E respectively, p < 0.001) and very limited intake of fish (0.07 portions/day). Despite being enrolled in a food assistance program, protein and energy malnutrition is prevalent among Greece’s most deprived who experience not only lower diet quality but also the double burden of malnutrition.

“…A discourse about parallel societies is not only linked to other discourses about parallel societies, but also to discourses addressing related phenomena, such as the Ghettos and the Multicultural Society. For a more detailed description of the methodology, see Borch (2012) and Borch and Kjaernes (2016). Table 5.3 shows the recorded statements of the discourse on parallel societies in the sample of articles: As shown in Table 5.3, the discourse spokespersons of the international discourse on parallel societies are educated within the social sciences and humanities.…”

This research shows that the academic discourse of parallel societies is based on recirculation of worries about ethnic segregation in Germany, ignoring the role of the housing market and policy in the question of why immigrants end up living where they live. Knowledge gaps need to be addressed to develop efficient housing policy instruments increasing immigrants' accessibility to and use of housing-related products.

The consequence of multidimensional and multilevel idea of food security is the large number of definitions and measures. The aim of this article was an attempt to systematize food security measurement methods and to indicate their advantages and disadvantages based on the literature review. Food security measurement methods were divided into five groups. Although none of the presented methods does not address this problem in a comprehensive and error-free manner, it is clear from a review of the literature that experience-based food insecurity scales methods are very popular and appreciated among food security researchers, particularly at national and local level.
