Thank you so much for the amazing reply! I increased the weight of energy security.
I don’t like the Global Food Security Index, because it’s about the quality of food, not whether the country is producing/exporting food. Which other indicator would you use, and where do I get the data?

In a previous project we used the UN FAO food Pocketbook, although I think the way they compile data changed after 2012. We used the ‘kcal production per capita’ metric, from here: https://www.fao.org/publications/card/en/c/a9f447e8-6798-5e82-82b0-a78724bfff03/
You can see what we did in the following two papers:

There are FAO CSVs for more recent years available to download here: https://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data/FBS
That’s one suggestion.
