Food insecurity Sample Clauses

Food insecurity. In 1996, the World Food Summit declared that food security exists “when all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life” (WHO, 2012) (no page). Food security has four main components: food availability (sufficient amount of food regularly available), food access (sufficient resources to procure nutritious food), food use (proper use of food and knowledge of appropriate nutrition), and stability of the three preceding components over time (WHO, 2012). Areas experiencing food insecurity are known as food deserts; the Healthy Food Financing Initiative, part of First Lady Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx’x Let’s Move! initiative, defines a food desert as a low-income census tract where a substantial number of residents cannot access a large supermarket or grocery store (USDA, 2012). Many rural areas where agriculture is an important part of the economy (including parts of Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx Counties in southwest Georgia, where data for this study were collected) are, paradoxically, food deserts (see Figure 1 below). In one census tract in Xxxxxx County with 1675 total people, 59.7% had low access to healthy food, while 15.3% had low access and were low-income. Similarly, 30.5% of the 4339 people in a census tract in Xxxxxxxx County had low access, while 3.9% had low access and were low- income (USDA, 2012). Notably absent from these statistics are the undocumented workers who, by definition, cannot be counted in population estimates. Figure 1: Food deserts (shaded areas) in southwest Georgia (USDA, 2012). Causes of food insecurity/low diet diversity. There are several possible explanations for the xxxxx discrepancies between the prevalence of food insecurity among farm workers and that of the general population. The first is that the poor conditions in which farm workers live and work make it difficult to access and buy healthy food. An estimated 61% of all individual farmworkers have incomes below federal poverty levels (Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 2003). Two other major problems associated with living in a migrant farm camp are limited transportation and lack of access to cooking facilities, both of which have been found to contribute to food insecurity (Hill, et al., 2011). In addition to the physical and financial obstacles that keep farm workers from accessing healthy foods, there may also be more subtle influences on food insecurity. Specifically, Borre, et al. (2010) and Xxxxxxx (2002) both postulate that the biggest ...
