Abstract

Commonly, resilience against external shocks is treated as a household or community capacity. Resiliency against food insecurity is of particular importance for rural household under the impression of recent price surges and supply chain disruptions. The aim of this paper is to analyze the effect of household resilience capacity on food security outcomes in Kyrgyzstan, using individual, household and community datasets of the “Life in Kyrgyzstan” panel survey for several waves from 2011 to 2016. Firstly, a resilience capacity index to food insecurity was estimated through key determinants or pillars under the Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis (RIMA) II methodology, while latent analysis was used to classify shocks. The effect of resilience capacity on food security outcomes was estimated along an instrumental variable approach. Our results suggest that resilience capacity serves to improve food security status and decrease the proneness of households to suffering from food insecurity in the presence of shocks. Furthermore, the interaction between resilience capacity and shocks was included to explain whether the negative effect of the shocks is weakened by resilience. The findings confirm that resilience capacity is able to mitigate the adverse effects of shocks on food security outcomes; moreover, it is sufficient to resist a decline in food security. Following the large contributions of social safety nets and adaptive capacity to the resilience capacity index, policy efforts should be focused on increasing income generating capacity, networking, migration, and education level of households to strengthen resilience to food insecurity.

家庭抵御能力和粮食安全:来自吉尔吉斯斯坦的证据

通常，抵御外部冲击的能力被视为家庭或社区的能力。抵御粮食不安全的能力对受到近期价格飙升和供应链中断影响的农村家庭尤为重要。本文的目的是利用2011年至2016年几波“吉尔吉斯斯坦生活”面板调查的个人、家庭和社区数据集，分析家庭抵御能力对吉尔吉斯斯坦粮食安全结果的影响。首先，根据弹性指数测量和分析(RIMA) II方法，通过关键决定因素或支柱估算粮食不安全的弹性能力指数，同时使用潜在分析对冲击进行分类。根据工具变量方法估计了恢复能力对粮食安全结果的影响。我们的研究结果表明，弹性能力有助于改善粮食安全状况，降低家庭在存在冲击时遭受粮食不安全的可能性。此外，我们还考虑了弹性能力与冲击之间的相互作用，以解释弹性是否会削弱冲击的负面影响。研究结果证实，抵御力能力能够减轻冲击对粮食安全结果的不利影响;此外，它足以抵御粮食安全的下降。在社会安全网和适应能力对抵御力指数做出巨大贡献之后，政策工作应侧重于提高创收能力、联网、移民和家庭教育水平，以加强对粮食不安全的抵御力。

期刊介绍： Food Security is a wide audience, interdisciplinary, international journal dedicated to the procurement, access (economic and physical), and quality of food, in all its dimensions. Scales range from the individual to communities, and to the world food system. We strive to publish high-quality scientific articles, where quality includes, but is not limited to, the quality and clarity of text, and the validity of methods and approaches. Food Security is the initiative of a distinguished international group of scientists from different disciplines who hold a deep concern for the challenge of global food security, together with a vision of the power of shared knowledge as a means of meeting that challenge. To address the challenge of global food security, the journal seeks to address the constraints - physical, biological and socio-economic - which not only limit food production but also the ability of people to access a healthy diet. From this perspective, the journal covers the following areas: Global food needs: the mismatch between population and the ability to provide adequate nutrition Global food potential and global food production Natural constraints to satisfying global food needs: § Climate, climate variability, and climate change § Desertification and flooding § Natural disasters § Soils, soil quality and threats to soils, edaphic and other abiotic constraints to production § Biotic constraints to production, pathogens, pests, and weeds in their effects on sustainable production The sociological contexts of food production, access, quality, and consumption. Nutrition, food quality and food safety. Socio-political factors that impinge on the ability to satisfy global food needs: § Land, agricultural and food policy § International relations and trade § Access to food § Financial policy § Wars and ethnic unrest Research policies and priorities to ensure food security in its various dimensions.
