Our Approach
FIF works at the interface between knowledge, public decisions and the experience of people affected by food insecurity. Our approach combines policy advocacy, policy brokerage and policy action research.
Policy advocacy
We promote public understanding of food-policy responsibilities and encourage participation in decisions affecting food security. Advocacy includes dialogue with public authorities, civil society, producers, researchers and the media.
Policy brokerage
We connect evidence and experience with institutions that can use them. This includes interpreting research, clarifying policy choices and supporting discussion across professional and institutional boundaries.
Policy action research and learning
We investigate implementation problems and develop evidence that can inform change. Our governance model proposes relationships for empirical testing. We distinguish research hypotheses, observed findings and institutional advocacy.
We seek clear responsibilities, credible monitoring and opportunities for people to raise concerns. Proposed accountability and referral arrangements require appropriate institutional agreement and review of their legal basis.
