12	Towards promoting food security amongst poor urban households : the case of Phomolong in Mamelodi Alusala, 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)) Food security Informal settlements Poor households Women empowerment Poverty eradication Climate change Sustainable livelihoods Food insecurity Environmental degradation Sub-Saharan Africa; 338.190968227 Poverty -- South Africa -- Mamelodi Phomolong (Mamelodi, South Africa)
