摘要

摘要本研究探讨了尼日利亚东南部农业地区洪水引发的粮食不安全和应对策略。数据来自8个社区的400户家庭。使用家庭粮食安全调查模块(HFSSM)测量粮食安全,发现92.8%的家庭粮食不安全。采用最多的应对策略是损害粮食的数量和质量,即;不吃饭;减少用餐频率并按降序减少用餐份量。该研究揭示了女性和男性户主家庭在应对策略方面存在基于性别的差异,这与收入和资产贫困差距有关,包括家庭粮食不安全水平的差异。所采取的应对策略是自行制定的,在粮食短缺时期提供短期生存手段。因此,建议采取可持续的政策措施,如社会保障和粮食安全网,以减少洪水引发的粮食不安全的脆弱性,从而改善适应能力,帮助在2030年前实现可持续发展目标的目标2。

Flood-induced food insecurity and coping strategies: A gender-based analysis of agrarian households in South-eastern Nigeria
Abstract The study addressed flood-induced food insecurity and coping strategies in agrarian South-eastern Nigeria. Data were collected from 400 households in 8 communities. Food (in)security was measured using Household Food Security Survey Module (HFSSM) and 92.8% households were found to be food insecure. The most adopted coping strategies were compromising food quantity and quality namely; skipping meals; reducing meal frequency and reducing meal portion size in descending order. The study revealed a gender-based disparity in coping strategies adopted between female- and male-headed households and this has been linked to income and asset poverty gaps including differential household food insecurity levels. The coping strategies adopted were self-devised strategies that provided short-term means of survival in times of food shortages. Thus, policy measures, such as social security and food safety nets that are sustainable are recommended to reduce vulnerability to flood-induced food insecurity, thereby improving adaptation to help achieve Goal 2 of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
