Download or read book Food Insecurity and Hunger in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-05-02 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is viewed by the world as a country with plenty of food, yet not all households in America are food secure, meaning access at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life. A proportion of the population experiences food insecurity at some time in a given year because of food deprivation and lack of access to food due to economic resource constraints. Still, food insecurity in the United States is not of the same intensity as in some developing countries. Since 1995 the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has annually published statistics on the extent of food insecurity and food insecurity with hunger in U.S. households. These estimates are based on a survey measure developed by the U.S. Food Security Measurement Project, an ongoing collaboration among federal agencies, academic researchers, and private organizations. USDA requested the Committee on National Statistics of the National Academies to convene a panel of experts to undertake a two-year study in two phases to review at this 10-year mark the concepts and methodology for measuring food insecurity and hunger and the uses of the measure. In Phase 2 of the study the panel was to consider in more depth the issues raised in Phase 1 relating to the concepts and methods used to measure food security and make recommendations as appropriate. The Committee on National Statistics appointed a panel of 10 experts to examine the above issues. In order to provide timely guidance to USDA, the panel issued an interim Phase 1 report, Measuring Food Insecurity and Hunger: Phase 1 Report. That report presented the panel's preliminary assessments of the food security concepts and definitions; the appropriateness of identifying hunger as a severe range of food insecurity in such a survey-based measurement method; questions for measuring these concepts; and the appropriateness of a household survey for regularly monitoring food security in the U.S. population. It provided interim guidance for the continued production of the food security estimates. This final report primarily focuses on the Phase 2 charge. The major findings and conclusions based on the panel's review and deliberations are summarized.
Download or read book Analyzing Food Security Using Household Survey Data written by Ana Moltedo and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Second World War, the international community has been focusing on reducing the number and the proportion of people who suffer from hunger. Over time it became clear that no single indicator would provide a comprehensive picture of the food security situation. Rather, a suite of indicators is necessary to describe food insecurity in all its dimensions. The demand for evidence-based policies, which brings together providers such as statistical offices and users of food security indicators including policy makers and researchers, has also been increasing. The stand-alone software, ADePT-Food Security Module (available for free downloading), was developed to produce food security indicators from food consumption data collected in household surveys. These indicators, derived at the national and subnational levels, include the consumption of calories and macronutrients, the availability of micronutrients and amino acids, the distribution of calories and the proportion of people undernourished. The book focuses on the theory, methodology, and analysis of these indicators. It has five chapters beginning with a brief overview on concepts of food security. The theory and methodology are further described in the following chapter. To help users with the interpretation of the results some examples are given in chapter 3. Chapter 4 of the book provides guidelines for the preparation of the input datasets. Finally, chapter 5 explains how to use the software. Both the software and this book are products of decades of experience in analyzing food security. This project was made possible through collaboration between FAO and the World Bank, with financial support from the European Union.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Food insecurity is a persistent public health issue that affects 10.5% of households in the U.S. The United States Department of Agriculture monitors food insecurity using the Household Food Security Survey Module (HFSSM). There is growing concern that it may not capture the true extent of food insecurity nor reflect the lived realities of households across the food security spectrum, particularly in rural areas. Study Objective: To explore whether the HFSSM reflects the lived realities and conceptualizations of food security among adults with varying food security experiences. Methodology and Data: A study recruitment postcard was mailed to all residential addresses in the Athens County region of Appalachian Ohio in late June 2020. Adult recipients were invited to complete an initial survey with quarterly follow-up for one year. Surveys included a demographic questionnaire and the HFSSM. Based on HFSSM-based trajectories of household food security over study time points, a purposively selected sub-sample of respondents were invited for in-depth semi-structured interviews (n=16) conducted in May-June 2021. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Using NVivo (Version 12), template analysis was employed to identify themes through a process employing both a priori codes (based on HFSSM constructs) and emergent codes. The codebook went through six iterations based on a series of consensus-building discussions among three co-authors until saturation was reached and no new codes emerged. Two researchers coded a subset of interviews to check codebook clarity and ensure interrater reliability. Results: Interviewed adults represented households experiencing consistent food security (n=7), transient insecurity (n=5), and persistent insecurity (n=4) across time points. Households with a history of food insecurity characterize their experiences in ways that largely converge with the HFSSM measure, including skipping meals, reducing meal size, lacking financial resources for ‘balanced’ meals, and experiencing anxiety about affording food. However, individuals’ experiences with food (in)security also demonstrate complexity not captured by the HFSSM; participants discuss navigating the mental burden associated with maintaining or achieving food security, and a wide variety of food sourcing strategies—including gardening, food preservation, sharing resources through informal networks, and engaging in barter culture—as being integral to their food security. Participants from every food security classification talked about food (in)security through a lens of social comparison; they expressed a desire to support local programming that assisted others, while wanting to avoid their own use of such resources unless in dire need. Collectively, these findings reveal a key point of divergence from the individual- and household-centric definition and measurement of food security used by the government. The sample conceptualized food security in terms of community self-reliance, a system encompassing food reciprocity and collective responsibility. Conclusions: The HFSSM is a valuable tool but does not fully capture the nuanced and extensive means by which adults pursue, navigate, and maintain their household’s food security. Food security is conceived of and measured as an individual or household-centric concept, yet this study indicates that people may define food security more broadly in ways that center their neighbors and community needs.

Download or read book Beyond Food Security written by Samantha Leigh Night and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food insecurity and food access are ongoing concerns in Austin, Texas, particularly given rapid changes in population and demographics over the past decade. Food insecurity metrics in the United States are reliable but may be insufficient to capture the changing environment within a city on a neighborhood basis. Food stress, similar to housing stress, occurs when a household spends a significant share of its income on food. Households facing food stress are more likely to be at risk of food insecurity. The Food Stress Index (FSI) identifies areas in Austin, Texas where households are most likely to face food stress, based on household demographics and environmental factors. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to reduce a set of candidate variables and calculate a Food Stress Index score at the census tract level for Austin/Travis County. The results are compared to the City of Austin’s Food Environment Analysis, which identifies areas facing multiple barriers to accessing healthy, affordable, and culturally appropriate food. Food Stress Index scores can be recalculated in the future with updated data to reflect the changing environment in Austin. The Food Stress Index may be used to identify areas of opportunity to address food access, food insecurity, and poverty through policy interventions
