It has become recognised as a public health emergency and is a priority in the context of the environmental, geopolitical and socio-economic implications on businesses, households and civic society. This review paper aims to discuss the merits of collecting food insecurity data and its importance in informing cross-sectoral government and others\u2019 understanding, policymaking and action on hunger. The review paper\u2019s key findings are that concerted action on measuring and mapping food insecurity with the aim of eliminating or reducing its prevalence represents a triple win for government, business and citizens. However, measurement does not provide solutions to food insecurity but contributes importantly to understanding its extent and severity to inform and evaluate proffered solutions. Government, business and food insecurity researchers and commentators cannot merely continue to simply describe food poverty - but must effect meaningful change amidst our communities to improve life quality in a timely way for those experiencing acute and chronic hunger. This is best done by addressing the structural causes of food insecurity through economically, socially and culturally fair and appropriate policy levers, requiring cross-sectoral collaboration. Ultimately, food insecurity requires a long-term, sustainable solution that addresses the policy issues under focus: low income, under\/unemployment, rising food prices and Welfare Reform, informed by routine, Government-supported monitoring and reporting of the extent of food poverty among our citizens.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0029665125000035","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,23]],"date-time":"2025-01-23T21:32:52Z","timestamp":1737667972000},"page":"169-173","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Capturing food insecurity data and implications for business and policy"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"85","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7100-3098","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sin\u00e9ad","family":"Furey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ulster University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0029665125000035_ref6","unstructured":"6.
