Discussions on the role of resilience to food security in the face of risk conveys a message that the static nature of resilience capacity is limited to show emerging patterns of resilience; therefore panel data findings are nontrivial to understand dynamic nature of the concept. This paper contributes to the existing literature on measuring resilience capacity and determining its magnitude of impact on food security outcomes. Our results from the case of Kyrgyzstan generally suggest that household resilience capacity serves to increase household diet diversity and food consumption in the presence of shock.
