Abstract

This study aims to understand how socioeconomic, geographic and cultural factors affect the food security status of Syrian refugee households in Quebec, Canada. Using a mixed methods study design, 49 households were assessed for their food security and socioeconomic status, followed by structured interviews with 35 households and 9 service providers. 52% of refugee households were food insecure, and although not significantly different, food insecurity was higher among privately sponsored refugee households in the Montreal area. Food insecurity appears mainly due to food access issues. Syrian refugees possess agricultural and cooking skills that could be beneficial in promoting community food security.

期刊介绍： Ecology of Food and Nutrition is an international journal of food and nutrition in the broadest sense. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of food and nutrition -- ecological, biological, and cultural. Ecology of Food and Nutrition strives to become a forum for disseminating scholarly information on the holistic and cross-cultural dimensions of the study of food and nutrition. It emphasizes foods and food systems not only in terms of their utilization to satisfy human nutritional needs and health, but also to promote and contest social and cultural identity. The content scope is thus wide -- articles may focus on the relationship between food and nutrition, food taboos and preferences, ecology and political economy of food, the evolution of human nutrition, changes in food habits, food technology and marketing, food and identity, and food sustainability. Additionally, articles focusing on the application of theories and methods to address contemporary food and nutrition problems are encouraged. Questions of the relationship between food/nutrition and culture are as germane to the journal as analyses of the interactions among nutrition and environment, infection and human health.
