Local - Level Predictors of Household Food Insecurity
Food security—the assured access of all people to enough food for a healthy and active life—is the focus of considerable policy and research attention. This paper examines the relationship between both household and contextual characteristics and food security among households with elementary school children in Wisconsin, using new data from a self-administered survey sent home to parents. We f...
متن کاملLow-Level Food Production
Societies with low-level food production economies occupy the vast and diverse middle ground between hunting–fishing–foraging and agriculture. Efforts by Ford, Harris, Rindos, Zvelebil, and others to characterize this “in-between” territory are discussed, and a new conceptual framework is proposed. Domestication, the central landmark of this middle ground, is situated well away from the boundar...
متن کاملEstimating Food Waste at the Individual Household Level ∗
We estimate food waste at the individual household level indirectly using a stochastic production frontier approach. The estimated average percentage of waste is 32.4%. However, by taking proxied physical activities into consideration and utilizing limited information maximum likelihood estimation, our estimate for average household food waste is reduced to 27.6%. We are also able to explore th...
متن کاملMeasures of Food Insecurity at the Household Level
Food insecurity and hunger have traditionally been measured by aggregate food supplies or by variables correlated with food insecurity. Because these measures often poorly reflect individuals’ true deprivation, economists have turned to surveys with direct questions about food insecurity. Using these surveys, households have then been classified into broad categories, a classification system wh...
متن کاملIndividualistic impact of unit operations of production, at household level, on some antinutritional factors in selected cowpea‐based food products
The individualistic effect of unit operations of production, at household level, on some antinutritional factors in selected cowpea-based food products (moin-moin, akara, and gbegiri) was investigated. Four cowpea types (IT93K-452-1, IT95K-499s-35, IT97K-568-18, and market sample) were used for the study, whereas the three traditional food products were produced from each of the cowpea types, r...
