Fuzzy cognitive model development for monitoring of results and reporting within the UN FAO food security program

摘要

A fuzzy cognitive model was developed and described for assessing the level of food security for countries where there is no guaranteed regular access of the population to high-quality food necessary for an active and healthy lifestyle. As a basis it was chosen a cognitive map covering a rather wide range of food security influences, approved in the FAO Strategic Program for 2014-2017. To formalize the appropriate cause-effect relationships between these influences, bounded sets of fuzzy logic rules are used.
