Özet:

 

Research shows that food insecurity is one of the challenges that post-apartheid
  South Africa faces. Food security indicators note that South Africa as a country
  has an apparent state of sufficiency, while household indicators show great
  disparities between urban and rural households. The purpose of this study was to
  analyse the food security status of households in the township of Kwakwatsi, Free
  State province. Data were collected through a household survey to determine the
  association between household food security and the demographic variables of a
  household. Of the sampled households, 51.1% were found to be food secure
  according to the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS). Logistic
  regression analysis revealed that there is a clear correlation between household
  size, household income, and gender and marital status of the household head and
  household food security. While household size, and the gender and marital status
  of the household head were associated with food insecurity, an increase in
  household income and the age of the household head were associated with food
  security. The study offers trends in food security and can be used as a reference
  source when addressing socio-economic challenges that low-income households
  in South African townships face.
