Abstract Food security during the Covid-19 pandemic is a condition in which all Bajo households have access to food both physically and economically for all their family members so that they are not at risk of losing both access during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to determine the household food security of the Bajo community in the West Muna Regency during the Covid 19 pandemic. This research was carried out in March-May 2020 in Latawe Village, Napano Kusambi District, West Muna Regency. The research location was selected purposively considering that the village is a coastal village where most of the population living is Bajo people who work as fishermen as many as 180 families. Many as 64 families determined the number of research samples using the Slovin formula and sampling using a simple random sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out using a descriptive method to measure the food security of Bajo households during the Covid 19 pandemic, which was estimated using the share of food spending where if the percentage of food spending was <60% of total spending, the household was food-secure and if the share of food spending was 60% of total expenditures, are households that are food insecure. The results show that 46.88% of Bajo households are food secure, and 53.12% are food insecure.

The prevalence of underweight in 2010 to 2013 has increased percentage by 17.9% to 19.6%. Household food security and food intake were factors that can affect nutritional status of children.The aim of the study was to analize the relationship between status of household food security, energy and fat intake with nutrititional status of children. This was a cross sectional study with 40 samples selected using simple random sampling technique. Subject in this study was the fisherman family whose toddlers age 25-60 months. The data were collected by interview using questionaires, and were analyzed using linier regression and spearmen test. The result showed that 55% of households were facing food insecurity and 45% households were food insecure with severe hunger. Nutritional status of children (72,5%) were normal and (27,50%) wereunderweight. Energy intake has a significant relationship with nutritional status of children (p = 0,007) and fat (p=0,03).

Food Security Status

Food security at the household level remains a major issue in South Africa and for many other developing countries, particularly those in Africa. As a means of ensuring food security in KwaZulu-Natal province, various food security intervention programmes were launched. Nonetheless, food security remains an issue among households in the province. This paper estimates the household food security status of the “One Home One Garden” (OHOG) beneficiaries against that of non-beneficiaries and assesses the determinants of household food security status in Maphumulo. A stratified random sampling technique was used to sample 495 households (including 330 OHOG beneficiaries and 165 non-beneficiaries). The status of household food security was estimated by means of a “Household Dietary Diversity Score” (HDDS). Additionally, a Household Food Consumption Score” (HFCS) tool was employed to supplement the HDDS. The results showed that food consumption patterns were characterized by medium (4.89) and average (4.22) HDDS for the OHOG beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries, respectively. Taking HDDS as a proxy for household food security, an independent samples t-test (Levene’s test—equal variances assumed) reveals a significant (p < 0.001) relationship between the sample means of the two groups. A greater proportion (65%) of the OHOG beneficiaries had an acceptable (≥35) HFCS level, whereas just over half (54%) of the non-beneficiaries fell in the borderline (21.5 to 35) HFCS level. The determinants of household food security status were elicited by means of a binary logistic regression model. The results revealed that education (p = 0.036), receiving infrastructural support (irrigation) (p = 0.001), and participation in the OHOG programme (p = 0.000) positively influenced the food security status of households, yet household income (p = 0.000) and access to credit (p = 0.002) showed a negative correlation. This paper proposes that government and developmental agencies, in their efforts to enhance food security through food security intervention programmes, should support households by investing in education and agricultural infrastructure, as well as giving priority to smallholder infrastructural irrigation support for households that largely rely on rain-fed systems.

Access To Food

Access to productive resources such as land and water is fundamental for households that rely on crop and livestock production for their livelihoods. Research often assumes that agricultural production—and thus, food security—are favoured by tenure security of resources (as represented by a “bundle of property rights”). However, research has not yet elucidated how food security is influenced by additional factors, represented within a “bundle of powers”. Guided by the Theory of Access developed by Ribot and Peluso, we explore the main factors in the respective bundles of rights and powers that influence household food security around north-west Mount Kenya. We interviewed 76 households—38 food secure and 38 food insecure—who were subsampled from a previous food security survey of 380 households. Results show that household food insecurity was not exclusively the result of a lack of private property rights as many farmers had retained their property rights. Instead, a major factor preventing access to productive resources was the difficulty faced by food insecure households in accessing farm technology (i.e. hand tools and implements). Access to authority and via social relations were significantly correlated with access to technology, so improving the latter must take into account the former.

Purpose Sustainable food security at the household level is one of the emerging issues for all nations. Several factors such as social, economic, political, demographic, natural and livelihood strategies cause vulnerability in the status of household food security. This study aims to examine the vulnerability of the factors of household food accessibility and its linkage with the climatic changes in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on primary data collected in the months of July-October, 2012, through a questionnaire survey on 460 low-income households from the East Coast Economic Region (ECER) in Malaysia. The samples were selected from E-Kasih poor household database, based on the cluster random sampling technique. The questionnaire uses a five-point Likert scale, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA F statistics for chi-square two-sample test. Findings The study finds that the vulnerability of the factors of household food accessibility has increased statistically and significantly over the past five years in Malaysia, whereas the contributions of climatic factors are low on these changes. This study suggests that the food security programs in Malaysia need to be integrated with the climatic change adaptation programs to ensure more effective and sustainable household food security in the future. Originality/value This study is an original work based on primary data that empirically measures the vulnerability of the factors of household food accessibility, one of the important dimensions of household food security, and its linkage with climatic changes.

Empowering women in agriculture is considered a prerequisite to achieving global food security. However, there exists a research gap due to limited empirical studies to ascertain this, especially in nations like Nigeria where high level of food insecurity and gender inequality is perceived. Therefore, this study examines the effect women’s empowerment in agriculture has on household food security. The study was carried out in Oyo State, Nigeria and a sample size of 100 rural women was drawn using the multi-stage sampling technique. Data was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire through an interview schedule. Data analysed was done using descriptive statistics, abbreviated women’s empowerment index, food security index and logistic regression model. Findings from this study revealed that more than half (58%) of the women were disempowered and about 59% of the households were food insecure. By disintegrating women’s empowerment into its various domains, this study identified that the major contributors to disempowerment are time(workload), production and resource domain. The logistic regression result shows that women’s empowerment in agriculture positively influences household food security. The study recommends that women must be adequately empowered in order mitigate food insecurity. Finally, the study suggests further research should be carried out to determine the gender parity in agriculture to understand the women’s empowerment in comparison with men’s empowerment in individual households.
