Determinants of food security status of household in west Gojjam zone, Ethiopia

Chernet Worku

Summary: Food security is crucial and dependent on various factors such as agricultural production, food import, employment in the food industry, public policies, and household food security. Adequate food supply is essential for everyone, as long-term food scarcity can lead to hunger and starvation. Strategies to improve food security include small-scale irrigation schemes. A study of 400 rural households found that age, family size, market information, product price, non-farm income, irrigation participation, and education significantly impact food security. Governments and stakeholders should collaborate to disseminate irrigation industry data, enhance agricultural production, improve irrigation facilities, and provide training to extension agents to increase food security levels.

A nonparametric analysis of household-level food insecurity and its determinant factors: exploratory study in Ethiopia and Nigeria

Maryia Bakhtsiyarava et al.

Summary: This study uses nonparametric regression methods to analyze the relationship between food insecurity and household survey data, revealing complex nonlinear and threshold relationships between food security measures, livestock ownership, and climatic conditions. The findings suggest that policy decisions should take into account nonlinearity, and that random forest and other nonparametric methods may be particularly useful in uncovering nuances in these relationships during suboptimal climatic conditions.

The association between food insecurity and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic

Di Fang et al.

Summary: The study found that food insecurity caused by the pandemic is associated with an increased risk of mental illness, with a 257% higher risk of anxiety and a 253% higher risk of depression. Public health measures should focus on providing direct subsidies for food purchases to low-income families, especially those with children, and reducing the stigma associated with accepting charitable foods.

Food security in Sudan: the case of Kassala state

Samia Satti Osman Mohamed Nour et al.

Summary: The study found that a majority of households (77%) experience varying degrees of food insecurity, with 32.9% being severely food insecure, while some households are food secure (23%). The authors supported the hypothesis that there will be variation in households' food insecurity between localities, most likely due to differences in the distribution of monthly income. Particularly, the study found that most households in rural areas are severely food insecure.
