Towards promoting food security amongst poor urban households : the case of Phomolong in MamelodiAlusala, Loice Nandako 06 1900 (has links)
Promoting household food security for many poor people globally and more so
in Sub-Saharan Africa continues to be a challenge today. Ever rising poverty
levels, an influx in the prevalence of the HIV/ AIDS pandemic, reduced rainfall
accompanied by changing climatic patterns, environmental bankruptcy, the
complexities associated with urbanization, globalisation as well as technology
shift in the agricultural sector and capitalistic market economies all play a role in
the food security debate.
This research has highlighted some of the factors that influence the food
economy and related these to the household food security of poor informal
settlement dwellers.
Achieving household food security for poor urban households requires an
integrated approach in terms of poverty eradication as well as deliberate efforts
with regards to food production and distribution within a framework of ecological
integrity, with an aim of empowering the poor and ensuring that their household
food security is guaranteed. / Development Studies / Thesis (M.A. (Development Studies))
