The country level stability objective requires managing different threats to this minimum level of food security. Policy choices must be able to respond to different sources of risk, from high world market price volatility to domestic crop failures. Potential policy responses include fostering a competitive domestic food sector and ensuring a stable physical and financial access to imports. Risk assessment starts from collecting stakeholders’ perceptions of food security risks, and experts’ assessments of potential threats to the prevalence of food security. This information will identify specific events or plausible scenarios that could potentially reduce the prevalence of food security below an acceptable level in that country, including those with low probability but severe consequences.
