Tools/Documentation // Developing the Pardee RAND Food-Energy-Water Security Index Tools - Toward a Global Standardized, Quantitative, and Transparent Resource Assessment
More than 2 billion people around the world, especially in developing countries, do not have access to high-quality services related to food, water, and energy. To provide information to development agencies and efforts focused on food, water, and energy resources, the RAND Corporation developed the Pardee RAND Food-Energy-Water Security Index. The index can be accessed online through an interactive RAND website that allows exploration of the data through maps and charts or downloading of the data for offline analysis. This report serves as the technical documentation for the index.
