“…Informed by analysis of human 24-hour food recall data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, in which we showed that the strongest behavioural correlate of food insecurity is higher variance in the time intervals between food consumption events (Nettle & Bateson, 2019), we operationalised food insecurity as the existence of variable time intervals between periods of food availability. Additionally, because the questionnaires for measuring human food insecurity include items that probe anxiety about perceived future food availability (Saint Ville et al, 2019), we programmed the variance in the inter-food access interval such that it was unpredictable to the birds. Therefore, our operationalisation of food insecurity combined restricted access to food with variability and unpredictability in the intervals between periods of access.…”

“…Several studies have assessed the validity of FIES and concluded that it is the only internationally comparable measure of micro-level food insecurity that has internal and construct validity. 32 We recoded responses across the eight questions into two binary categories of food insecurity: moderate-severe food insecurity, capturing a yes response to at least four questions; and severe food insecurity, capturing yes responses to at least seven questions. 33 Our trade policy measure was a subcomponent of the Konjunkturforschungsstelle (KOF) Globalisation Index.…”

“…The concept of Food Insecurity Experience Scales (FIES) has a long history grounded in ethnographic studies. Their purpose is to understand the experience of hunger (Ballard, Kepple, and Cafiero, 2013;Saint Ville, Po, Sen, Bui, and Melgar-Quiñonez, 2019). Ethnographic research conducted in the USA at the beginning of the 1990s revealed that experiencing FI is a process characterized initially by worry about having enough food, followed by dietary changes to make limited food resources last longer, and finally, reduced consumption of food (Radimer, Olson, and Campbell, 1990;Radimer, Olson, Greene, Campbell, and Habicht, 1992).…”

“…Other studies regarding various populations around the world have confirmed that these aspects of food insecurity appear to be common across countries. Over time, experience-based food insecurity scales have been developed for different cultural contexts, for example since 1995 the United States Household Food Security Survey Module, and since 2007 the Latin American and Caribbean Food Security Scale have been used in several countries in North and South America (Saint Ville et al, 2019). Building on the experiences of these scales, FAO developed a scale called the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES).…”
