Abstract:
Most of the sub-Saharan African countries including Ethiopia were affected by the food insecurity issue. This study aimed to analyze the drivers of food insecurity, the choice of livelihood strategies, and factors that impact the choices of food security strategies in response to food insecurity in Abay Chomen District of Ethiopia\'s Oromia region, Ethiopia. The result of this study is based on primary data and obtained from 150 randomly chosen sample households and secondary data generated from various sources. As for the technique of data analysis, this study employed descriptive statistics for the food insecurity index, as well as a binary logistic model and a multinomial logit model for the choice of household livelihood techniques. The findings of the survey showed that 51.3% of the households were found to be food-insecure and 48.7% food-safe in the study area. Furthermore, the result indicated that the average calorie consumption of the households surveyed was 2008.54 kcal for each adult equivalent per day, which is below the lowest calorie necessity of 2200 kcal. The estimated logistic model outcome on the drivers of household food insecurity confirmed the oldness of the household leader, larger family holder, and off-farm income affects negatively, while the gender of the household leader, the size of the built-up area, the number of livestock holdings (except oxen), the number of oxen owned, access to credit, the participation in the sale of cattle, and others affect positively. In addition, the multinomial logit model result indicates that the educational status of the household leader, the size of livestock farming, the number of oxen possessed, access to credit, remoteness to the market, and monthly agricultural earning are the main drivers of the choice of livelihood strategies of concern for the food insecurity of households. As a result, this research attempted to produce a result of analysis with a defined scope, although many questions remain unsolved. Future studies should concentrate on presenting fundamental data on the factors that affect food security status and livelihood strategy, the social, political, natural, and environmental aspects, the descriptive information on the shopping habits of people who experience food insecurity, and the key aspects that increase the vulnerability of the rural poor to food insecurity.
摘要:
包括埃塞俄比亚在内的大多数撒哈拉以南非洲国家都受到粮食不安全问题的影响。本研究旨在分析粮食不安全的驱动因素,生计策略的选择,以及影响埃塞俄比亚奥罗米亚地区AbayChomen区粮食安全战略选择的因素,埃塞俄比亚。这项研究的结果是基于从150个随机选择的样本家庭和从各种来源产生的二次数据获得的原始数据。至于数据分析技术,这项研究采用了粮食不安全指数的描述性统计数据,以及用于选择家庭生计技术的二元逻辑模型和多项逻辑模型。调查结果显示,在研究区域,51.3%的家庭被发现食物不安全,48.7%的家庭被发现食物安全。此外,结果表明,被调查家庭的平均卡路里消耗为每个成年人每天相当于2008.54千卡,低于最低卡路里的必需量2200千卡。关于家庭粮食不安全驱动因素的估计逻辑模型结果证实了家庭领导者的年代久远,更大的家庭持有者,非农收入产生负面影响,而家庭领导者的性别,建成区的大小,持有的牲畜数量(牛除外),拥有的牛的数量,获得信贷,参与出售牛,和其他人积极影响。此外,多项logit模型结果表明,户主的教育状况,畜牧业的规模,拥有的牛的数量,获得信贷,远离市场,和每月农业收入是选择关注家庭粮食不安全的生计战略的主要驱动因素。因此,这项研究试图产生一个具有定义范围的分析结果,尽管许多问题仍未解决。未来的研究应集中于提供影响粮食安全状况和生计战略的基本数据。社会,政治,自然,和环境方面,关于经历食物不安全的人的购物习惯的描述性信息,以及增加农村贫困人口对粮食不安全的脆弱性的关键方面。
