abstract = {The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) plays a dual role in the governance of global food security, as both an arena for policy debate and as a 'universal' knowledge institution. FAO defines itself as a 'neutral knowledge broker'. One of the instruments used to achieve this is the annual flagship publication: The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI). It is the global reference report on developments in the fight against hunger and tracks progress made towards the achievement of the goal of food and nutrition security. The 2017 SOFI Report marks an important turning point in the history of food security reporting. On the one hand, it observed that the decline in the Prevalence of Undernourishment (PoU), observed over the previous 10 years, had probably been reversed. On the other hand, it introduced new metrics that would enable FAO reporting to also report on progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). An important change is that it proposed a subjective measure of food insecurity, the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES), whereas, until then, the PoU proposed an "objective" measure based on a balance between availability and estimated needs. Based on a lexical analysis of SOFI reports and an ethnography within the FAO, the objective of this chapter is to shed light on the relationship between quantification techniques and global policies. By developing the concept of knowledge intermediation and its infrastructures, an original reflection is presented about how governance through metrics can affect our ways of knowing about food security. },

It is the global reference report on developments in the fight against hunger and tracks progress made towards the achievement of the goal of food and nutrition security. The 2017 SOFI Report marks an important turning point in the history of food security reporting. On the one hand, it observed that the decline in the Prevalence of Undernourishment (PoU), observed over the previous 10 years, had probably been reversed. On the other hand, it introduced new metrics that would enable FAO reporting to also report on progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). An important change is that it proposed a subjective measure of food insecurity, the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES), whereas, until then, the PoU proposed an "objective" measure based on a balance between availability and estimated needs. Based on a lexical analysis of SOFI reports and an ethnography within the FAO, the objective of this chapter is to shed light on the relationship between quantification techniques and global policies. By developing the concept of knowledge intermediation and its infrastructures, an original reflection is presented about how governance through metrics can affect our ways of knowing about food security.

abstract = {With nearly 70% of the world population expected to live in cities by 2050, assessing the sustainability of urban systems, both existing and future ones, is becoming increasingly relevant. Making cities more sustainable is a global priority, which is highlighted by ‘Sustainable Cities and Communities’ being listed as one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) adopted by United Nations Member States in 2015. This Virtual Special Issue (VSI) explores the implementation and assessment of policies and technologies that contribute to the transition to a sustainable, energy efficient and regenerative society. We organized the issue according to four main research themes: 1) Renewable Energy Systems (i.e., different types of systems, qualitative assessments and public acceptance); 2) Sustainable Built Environment (which includes construction, operation and refurbishment); 3) Multi-Scale Models (considering urban sustainability transition from building to districts, or cities and regions to multi-country comparisons and their scaling across different countries); and 4) Governance and Policy (climate change mitigation and adaptation plans/policies that are reported across countries, urban services and infrastructures).
This paper serves two purposes. The first is to provide an analysis about patterns, correlations and synergies found across the different topics that have been addressed over the last 20 years in the literature about cities’ sustainability paths. A bibliometric analysis and a contingency matrix show the degree of correlation between scientific journals and main topics addressed by published articles. Secondly, the paper acts as an Editorial to the VSI, introducing the wealth of research articles and topics included in it. Both the bibliometric analysis and the papers published in this VSI demonstrate the interconnectedness of energy consumption, pollutant emissions and the competition for finite resources.

Sustainable Development Goals are the 17 global challenges set by the United Nations.

The initiative started from the Aurora Universities Network in 2017, in the working group "Societal Impact and Relevance of Research", to investigate and to make visible 1. what research is done that are relevant to topics or challenges that live in society (for the proof of practice this has been scoped down to the SDGs), and 2. what the effect or impact is of implementing those research outcomes to those societal challenges (this also have been scoped down to research output being cited in policy documents from national and local governments an NGO's).},
