Re: [pronut-hiv] Discussions on selected topics on food security/nutrition and HIV/AIDS start on May 15th, 2008 (2)

["Kaviiri Dentons" <kdentons@yahoo.co.uk>]

This is a very important topic for discussion
especially given the current situation where food
supply is dwindling day by day world-wide. 

Dr Mwadime, I would be most grateful if you could guide me on
which are the most appropriate 'the measurable food
security indicators' one would consider in a food
security study, and where I can access such
information from.
