Methodology
In the actual assessment of household food security status, key
indicators have been identified, including land tenure and access to
food, purchasing power, health and quality of food, community
participation and sustainability of agricultural practices.
The existing status of household food security is assessed based on the
respondent's perception of the sufficiency of regularly consumed food
items, which are grouped as staples, vegetables and meat. Households
were categorized into four sub-groups corresponding to varying levels of
food security.
The Food Secure are households that reported sufficiency
in all food groups (i.e., staples, vegetables, meats). The ?Moderately
Food Secure? households are sufficient in at least one food item from
each food group, even if other insufficiencies in food items were
identified. The ?Food Insecure? are insufficient in all food items in
one of the three food groups.
The Highly Food Insecure are insufficient in all food
items in two or three food groups. Percentage and correlation analyses
were done to assess major trends and the relationship among factors
affecting household food security.
