The Food Economy Group (FEG) has been on the leading edge of livelihoods-based food security information systems, policy analysis and complex-process facilitation services for over a decade, contributing to the efforts of a broad range of decision makers in the humanitarian and development community.

Its work in countries throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America has consistently focused on linking decision makers to the realities of poor people, across rural and urban communities, in pastoral and agricultural settings, and within both fragile states and settled communities.

FEG continues to set the standard for translating complex livelihoods into comprehensible outputs so that the needs of those most in need are understood and prioritized.
