To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the report entitled The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2024, published by the FAO in August 2024, if his Department will take steps to adopt (a) a common definition of and (b) measurement guidelines for financing for food security and nutrition.

Answered by Anneliese Dodds

Tracking and reporting financing for food security and nutrition consistently is important, and we welcome the proposals in the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) report. The UK reports on food security and nutrition finance using the G7 Elmau methodology. We are an active member of the G7 subgroup that seeks to update and improve this methodology.
