abstract: 'Mounting concerns over food insecurity have emerged as a key agenda in
|
|
|
|
many recent global development dialogues, on accounts of observed and
|
|
|
|
expected health outcomes. The present study attempts a reflective
|
|
|
|
summary around a yet little-explored aspect of food insecurity: health
|
|
|
|
and social ramifications of coping behaviours (adaptive strategies to
|
|
|
|
improve food availability, accessibility, utilisation, and stability),
|
|
|
|
with specific emphasis on women and children. We conducted a systematic
|
|
|
|
literature with different search engines and databases to identify a
|
|
|
|
diversity of recent journal articles, reports, working papers, white
|
|
|
|
papers, proceedings, dissertations, newspaper articles, book chapters,
|
|
|
|
and grey literature, published in the post-2000s period. We thus
|
|
|
|
identified two broad generic categories in the relevant global
|
|
|
|
literature: coping behaviours that are (a) non-food (livelihood
|
|
|
|
alterations) and (2) food-based. For women, the former includes outdoor
|
|
|
|
employment, selling asset bases, borrowing food and/or money, and
|
|
|
|
purchasing food on credit. Food-based coping strategies included reduced
|
|
|
|
daily meal portion sizes and reducing the frequency of food uptake or
|
|
|
|
skipping meals altogether (i.e., Food Rationing); nutritional switch
|
|
|
|
(i.e., Food Stretching); and Food Sharing. Coping behaviours involving
|
|
|
|
children primarily include dropping out of school, begging, stealing,
|
|
|
|
and Food Seeking (i.e., eating outside home, with relatives or friends,
|
|
|
|
or at charitable institutions). The likely health outcomes included
|
|
|
|
stunting and wasting, disrupted socio-cognitive development among
|
|
|
|
children. A subsidiary idea to conduct this study was to offer the
|
|
|
|
concerned authorities an insight into the breadth of coping behaviours,
|
|
|
|
so as to help them anticipate targeted and gender-responsive
|
|
|
|
interventions on a priori basis. We offer a discourse on what we refer
|
|
|
|
to as time poverty, especially for farm women, resulting from obligatory
|
|
|
|
outdoor employment, mostly as farm labourers to highlight a social
|
|
|
|
paradox: women provide massive contributions in the translation of high
|
|
|
|
value goods and services of a vibrant global agricultural system, and
|
|
|
|
yet are among the first victims of food insecurity themselves. This
|
|
|
|
situation contradicts a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals
|
|
|
|
(SDGs), and aggravates gender disparity. In final section we appeal for
|
|
|
|
more targeted, evidence-based research to establish direct causal
|
|
|
|
linkages between food insecurity and coping behaviours, distinguishing
|
|
|
|
them from life-as-usual scenarios. To that end, we present a brief
|
|
|
|
critique on Coping Strategy Index (CSI) -a widely used tool to evaluate
|
|
|
|
severity of coping behaviours.'
