Innovated Per Adult Human UNIT Method (PAHUM) vs. Error Bound PC in Food Systems

Abstract

In social & economic science disciplines, the lack of strong theories is often reflected in the lack of well-accepted common metrics defined by a UNIT. PAHU Method vs. PC is developed to investigate the feasibility of developing well-grounded common metrics/unit to advance behavioural, economic-social, food security & science research, both in terms of advancing the development of theory and increasing the utility of research for policy & practice. In addition aiming, to consider whether a set of criteria can be developed for understanding when the measurement of a particular construct is ready to be standardized & to explore how the research community can foster a move toward standardization when it appears warranted. In this globalised society, even imperial measures are defined with reference to the metric/unit standards. A radical evaluation method change in global food systems is needed to meet the challenges. State of the art of PAHU Method /Age and Gender Corrected Per Capita (PCagc) is to evaluate demographic structure, consumer & past and future food consumption potential of developed & developing countries, target populations, their food sufficiency & also food security evaluations of family and households. It involves systematic attempts to create awareness of 19.4 percentage UNIT error inherent to PC & pave the way to food - other goods consumption evaluations plus global impact of hunger & environmental issues until 2020-2050-era. PAHUM was applied & evaluated EU28 demographic structure & food consumption issues for 1999/2010/2020. Now it focuses on research with systems approach, contributing to the development of tomorrow’s food systems for family/household evaluations including CO2 emissions-biodiversity relations. A radical evaluation method change in global/EU food systems is needed to meet the global challenges, including family/household on UNIT basis. The principal is always to ask questions “Why”, “What” and “How” will naturally unfold and found the reality of PAHUM. Reality is reality…
