    Opis:
    Objectives: The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of food insecurity among Lebanese University (Hadath Campus) students and examine its association with demographic characteristics, academic performance, body mass index (BMI), and household monthly income. Methods: A total of 755 participants that studied at Hadath Campus of Lebanese University were recruited for this study. The prevalence of food insecurity was assessed using a validated scale of 7 items: Arabic Family Food Security Scale (AFFSS). Findings:  Responses to the AFFSS indicated that 8.9% of students were food insecure, among which 7.5% and 1.4% were respectively moderately and severely food insecure.  Also, 91.1% were food secure. Food security status was significantly associated with age (p=0.001), family monthly allowance (p<0.001), weight (p=0.023), faculty (p=0.009) and BMI (p=0.04). Conclusion: The prevalence of food-insecure students was approximately 9% in the sample. Further studies are needed to measure food insecurity among Lebanese University students across the rest of the campuses in order to have enough evidence regarding the food insecurity level. Moreover, policies and programs must address food insecurity levels among students to ensure that all the resources are available for these students to succeed.

    Opis:
    This study was carried out to estimate the extent of food security and its determinants among rural households in Nigeria. Data for this study was obtained from 180 rural households consisting of 1260 members through the use of a structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed with a descriptive technique and a less restrictive multinomial logistic regression model. The result found most rural households to be food insecure as they measure high on the food insecurity scale. Age, gender, marital status, access to credit, dependency ratio, household size, ownership of farmland and farming experience significantly influence food security categories. The study concluded that: female-headed married households were more food secure than male-headed households; an increase in age of household heads makes it more likely to be food secure, and so does access to credit facilities; conversely, an increase in family size and in the dependency ratio makes it less likely to be food secure. The study recommends that there should be provision and proper monitoring of credit facilities to small farmers in other to increase their scale of operation and improve their food security status. Also, adequate attention should be given to policy measures that address family planning in order to reduce the household size to a level the household heads can adequately cater for.

    Opis:
    Food security is a complex phenomenon involving sociocultural and economic factors. This study examines gender inequality in livestock assets ownership on household food security in the Wa West District of Ghana. Data were collected from 400 households based on a cross-sectional survey and a multistage sampling of the respondents. Gender disparity in livestock assets distribution among men and women within the household was ascertained using the Gini index, while the household food consumption score technique was employed to determine household food security status. A binary logit regression model was used to assess the effect of gender inequality in livestock assets on household food security. The results indicated that, on average men owned 1.72 TLU compared to an average of 0.22 TLU owned by women. Livestock contribution to household food security was estimated at 16% of annual household food expenditure, with a composition of 0.90%, 6.04%, and 9.14% jointly owned, women owned, and men owned. Also, 33% of households were food insecure, while 67% of households were food secure at the time of the survey. The empirical results showed that a unit increase in the Gini index of livestock assets distribution in favour of men has a negative effect on household food security. The results further showed that household ownership of livestock, farm size, and education negatively influence household food insecurity, whereas household size, female-headed households, and dependency ratio positively affect household food insecurity in the study area. The study recommends that development programmes should target women’s economic empowerment and education to bridge the gender livestock assets gap to improve food security.

    Opis:
    The COVID-19 outbreak has seriously affected the global food security at a time when it was significantly compromised by the effects of climate change and armed conflicts. The impact of the pandemic and quarantine restrictions imposed in response to the deadly virus brought humanity face-to-face with a new threat – that of food insecurity – which contributed to a high social demand for state-of-the-art methods of improving the cereal production efficiency. The aim of the study is to develop and implement a methodological approach to enhancing the cereal production efficiency. The methodology of the study relies on time series that made it possible to determine the main trends in regional cereal production and make projections. Application of the suggested approach in the Kostanay region revealed that this region was among the key cereal producers in the country. In 2019, the region was affected by extreme weather, which caused a sharp decline in cereal production. The present study, however, projects large opportunities for cereal production growth in the region and a significant increase in cereal production in the future. In addition, the paper suggests the following action plan to improve efficiency of the cereal production sector in the Kostanay region: streamlining of state support arrangements for cereal producers; development of affordable crop insurance products; systemic steps to increase cereal yields; development of logistic infrastructure; comprehensive monitoring of cereal production to develop a system of rapid response to changes in the external environment.

    Opis:
    Regardless of the several measures implemented by the South African government to curb food insecurity, majority of rural households are still experiencing food insecurity at a provincial level in Limpopo Province. This could be because of the high unemployment rate that the rural households are experiencing at a provincial level. As many of the rural households’ members went as far as obtaining tertiary education, most individuals still find it difficult to secure jobs and this results to many rural households depending on social grants for a living. In addition, social grant money alone does not become enough to meet their entire families’ food needs. The study was conducted at Mopani district municipality. Multistage sampling procedure was used, and the villages were selected based on probability proportionate to size. Thus, making the total of 173 rural households. The objectives of the study were to profile the socio-economic characteristics of rural households and to identify food security status of rural households and to determine factors that influence food security among rural households. To analyse the data, Household food insecurity access scale, descriptive statistics and Multinomial logistic regression model were used. From the findings of the study, the results revealed that majority of rural households in Mopani district municipality were found to be moderate to severe food insecure.

    Opis:
    Aim: In spite of investments in new technologies to improve upon rice production in Ghana, productivity levels are still low. It is therefore important to assess the efficiency of farmers and identify sources of inefficiency to develop policies to reduce inefficiencies. This paper aims to investigate the extent and drivers of technical efficiency of rice farmers in Ghana. Design/Research methods: Bias-corrected data envelopment and restricted single-stage stochastic frontier models are employed to examine the technical efficiency of farmers and its determinants.  The data for empirical application come from a farm production survey comprising a total sample of 197 rice farmers from Ghana. Conclusions and findings: The analyses revealed on average, farmers are about 65% technically efficient. This result indicates that there is a potential to improve upon technical efficiency of farmers by about 35% within the existing state of resources and technology. Furthermore, the drivers of technical efficiency were identified as food insecurity status and membership of farmer based organisation. Specifically, the results show an inverse relationship between food insecurity status and technical efficiency; where higher levels of food insecurity are associated with lower levels of technical efficiency. Also, membership of farmer based organisation increases technical efficiency of farmers. Contrary to previous studies, non-farm income and credit access were not identified as significant drivers of technical efficiency among the sampled farmers. On the basis of the findings, policies should aim at reducing food insecurity among farmers and encouraging membership of farmer based organisations. Originality/value of the article: This paper provides evidence-based information on the extent of technical efficiency of rice farmers in Ghana and suggests measures for technical efficiency improvements.

    Background: Throughout history, the world has witnessed natural disasters affecting businesses and societies with varying degrees of disruption. COVID-19 (henceforth C19) constituted a significant system shock and a stark reminder of the fragility and sensitive nature of supply chains. The pandemic has exerted considerable societal and economic pressure and has had an adverse impact on food supply chains in particular. Many food processing operations were forced to alter activities or close temporarily due to outbreaks. Societal lockdowns, travel restrictions, business closures and quarantine have led to structural changes in the productivity of economies and impacted the mental health and financial wellbeing of citizens. Methods: We present a critical review of the literature to explore the impact of C19 on the food supply chain. We collected data from journal articles retrieved from a leading scientific database (i.e., Scopus), books, chapters, conference proceedings, reports, and a variety of Internet websites. For the literature search, we used the following words; „COVID-19" and „food". Results and conclusions: The findings of the review suggest that the C19 pandemic poses unprecedented challenges for food supply chains. We reveal that C19 has raised food insecurity and food safety concerns, increased supply chain and logistics costs and radically changed consumer behavior. On the positive side, the pandemic has improved awareness of food waste and the importance of self-grown foods. We generated nine research propositions to foster future academic research. Our study also highlighted the need to advance this literature and calls for increased attention from the supply chain management and logistics community to further analyse and quantify the impact of C19 on the food chain.
    Wstęp: W ujęciu historycznym, świat już nieraz doświadczał naturalnych katastrof, które miały wpływ w różnym nasileniu na biznes oraz społeczeństwo. COVID-19 (C19) spowodował istotny szok dla systemu oraz przypomniał o kruchości i wrażliwości łańcuchów dostaw żywności. Pandemia wywarła istotny wpływ w szczególności na tą część ogólnego łańcucha dostaw. Wiele przedsiębiorstw produkujących żywność musiało zmienił sposób swojej działalności lub czasowo ją przerwać. Lockdown, ograniczenia w podróżowaniu, zamknięcie części działalności gospodarczej i kwarantanna doprowadziły do strukturalnych zmian w produktywności ekonomii i wpłynęły na zarówno psychiczne zdrowie jak i poziom zamożności obywateli. Metody: W pracy zaprezentowany jest krytyczny przegląd literatury dotyczącej wpływu C19 na łańcuch dostaw żywności. Dane zostały zebrane na podstawie przeglądu artykułów prasowych z wiodących baz naukowych (np. Scopus), książek, rozdziałów, materiałów konferencyjnych, raportów oraz różnych stron internetowych. Przy wyszukiwaniu tych prac, słowami kluczowymi były słowa: „COVID-19” oraz „żywność”. Wyniki i wnioski: Uzyskane wyniki badań sugerują, że pandemia C19 jest niespotykanym wyzwaniem dla łańcuchów dostaw żywności. C19 spowodował obniżenie bezpieczeństwa łańcucha dostaw żywności, zwiększył koszty logistyki i radykalnie zmienił upodobania konsumentów. Jak pozytywny efekt, pandemia zwiększyła świadomość marnotrawstwa żywności i istotność niezależności produkcji żywności. Zostały opracowane propozycje dalszych kierunków badańnaukowych w tym obszarze. Pokreślono potrzebę tych badań oraz rozpracowanie wpływu C19 na łańcuch dostaw żywności w kontekście zarządzania łańcuchem dostaw.
