New and more sophisticated analytical tools are needed to understand these long-term effects, along with sufficient training to ensure that new methods are applied properly in the field. A recent innovation has been the Coping Strategy Index, devised by the World Food Program and CARE, which analyzes how people cope with short-term food crises while also taking into account their future vulnerability to hunger.
我们需要新的、更为全面系统地分析工具来了解这些长期效果，同时还要有足够的培训来确保新的方法能够恰当地运用到实际中。最新的一项创举是由世界粮食计划组织和CARE共同开发的“应对战略指数”。该工具在分析人们如何应对短期的食物危机的同时也考虑到了他们在未来面对饥饿的脆弱性。
