  • How food insecure are residents in Malawi’s major cities

    Leonard Mkusa, Sheryl L HendriksARTICLEDevelopment Southern Africa2022

    Increasing urbanisation could pose significant food insecurity challenges in Africa, yet little has been researched regarding food insecurity in urban Africa. This study compared the levels and severity of food insecurity in Malawi’s four major cities using data from Malawi’s fourth Integrated Household Survey (2016/17). Urban food insecurity was found to be relatively low and less severe in Blantyre, Lilongwe, Mzuzu and Zomba compared to publish…

    Open AccessJessica Fanzo, Lawrence Haddad et al.ARTICLEFood Policy2021Cited by: 20References: 24

    Food systems that support healthy diets in sustainable, resilient, just, and equitable ways can engender progress in eradicating poverty and malnutrition; protecting human rights; and restoring natural resources. Food system activities have contributed to great gains for humanity but have also led to significant challenges, including hunger, poor diet quality, inequity, and threats to nature. While it is recognized that food systems are central t…

  • Considerations for the design of nutrition-sensitive production programmes in rural South Africa

    Open AccessSheryl L Hendriks, A Viljoen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    Producing beyond that solely for home consumption has greater benefits for dietary diversity and a consumption-smoothing effect during the post-harvest period. Politicians and the scientific community should recognise the role that household and small-scale crop production plays in supporting household consumption and the provision of essential micronutrients despite constraints and disincentives. Production and education programmes should focus …

  • The Kaleidoscope Model of policy change

    Open AccessDonald Resnick, Steve Haggblade et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2018Cited by: 7References: 18

    What drives policy reform after long periods of policy inertia? What factors shape the effectiveness of policy implementation following reform decisions? These questions increasingly concern the international donor and research communities, given the importance of policy environments in shaping development outcomes and the growing need to achieve development impact with scarce resources. To address these questions, this paper introduces the Kalei…

  • What are we measuring? Comparison of household food security indicators in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa

    Sheryl L Hendriks, Corné van der Merwe et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition2016

    The development of national food security information systems is constrained by a lack of guidance on which indicators to use. This paper compares food security indicators across two seasons (summer and winter) in one of the most deprived areas of the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. The results show that only anthropometric indicators are sensitive enough to differentiate levels of food insecurity. The lack of consistent classification acr…

  • Measuring Household Food Security Using Food Intake Indicators in Rural Kwazulu Natal, South Africa

    Mark M Msaki, Sheryl L HendriksARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition2014

    Estimation of micronutrients intake in food consumption surveys has generally been ignored. Focusing on similar households, a household food consumption survey (n = 200) was carried out in November 2004 (period of less) and March 2005 (period of plenty) in rural KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. Diet diversity, energy, protein and micronutrient intakes were proxies of household food security. Principal Component Analysis was used to estimate household…
