Hundreds of millions face acute food insecurity driven by conflict, climate extremes and economic shocks, and famine prevention depends on timely, comparable classification and response. This section of the Water and Food Systems subsite sets records for food insecurity classification, nutrition outcomes, drivers and response so that early warning and resource allocation rest on shared evidence. Every artifact of the area carries a UNI (Unique Nexus Identifier), which identifies and never certifies.

Fig.RUNNING marks the area you are reading; DONE an area in the same subsite, QUEUED an area elsewhere and GATE a subsite reached. Tags give reading order only, never a status. Design, not a record.
Indicator names and codes as their stewards publish them; values appear only from a governed GRIx source, never typed into a page.
Relations are register entries (NS-14), never conformance or equivalence statements; hover or focus a relation for its meaning. Names of standards bodies and their standards belong to their stewards and are used only to identify the documents; no text of an external standard is reproduced here.

Sources the area reads or proposes. Delivery follows GRIx first; a source is shown live only after an owner decision admits it for public pages.
No legal register row admits any of these sources for live display on public pages yet, so nothing is read from them here. A register row that exists records the source for the governed GRIx path; admission for public pages is a separate owner decision.

A console computes from the registry and shows its reasons; it never decides, approves or certifies.
GCRI Canada may admit classification and nutrition records with method and analysis period as research evidence; GCRI Canada decides under its own evidence and research rules, and no approval is implied.
GRF may record agencies publishing on the shared records as a dialogue item; GRF decides under its own recognition rules, and no recognition or endorsement is implied.
GRA may read food security records when it considers resilience finance; GRA decides under its own capital-readiness rules, and no approval, rating or investment view is implied.
Each institution decides under its own rules what it reads as evidence; no pathway is an approval, a readiness statement or investment advice.
Closed or paywalled standards appear by name and link only; any compatibility profile of one is built on simulated data and kept on protected pages until an institutional arrangement with the issuing body is recorded. Nexus Standards is not affiliated with, endorsed by or certified by any standards body named here.
The working group may name closed standards later; they would be listed here by name and link only.
Records for food insecurity, nutrition and response.
No working group is chartered yet; a community may charter this one under NS-13 through a docket.
Peer-reviewed sources and published statistics on the publishers' own domains, as the context entry cites them. No Risk Academy faculty pathway is linked to this area yet; one is linked when a faculty publishes a pathway that fits.
Risk Academy disciplines that teach Food security and nutrition risk, with their courses; the GCRI Canada, The Global Risks Forum (GRF) and The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) subsites that carry those disciplines; and the Nexus Foundry systems the standards name. Mappings are proposed for review (Risk Academy standards map, 2026-10-17); a link says a page on the same subject exists, never an endorsement or a conformance statement; framework names in course titles are named and linked, never reproduced.
Propose a change, join the working group or name a source. Area entries are PROPOSED content for the Nexus Standards registry; a UNI identifies and never certifies, and nothing on this site is a certification, an approval or a readiness statement.
