“…Households which have more earners, large household size and experienced income shock due to natural disaster are more likely to suffer from food insecurity. These results are consistent with the findings by Anik et al (2012) and Lawal et al (2008). Surprisingly, with the increase of number of earners the likelihood of being food insecure seems to increase.…”

The article examines the relationship between poverty and food insecurity using a primary sample ( n = 319) collected from the enclave areas of Bangladesh. The study reveals that among the poor respondents, 80% are food insecure and among the non-poor respondents 30.8% are food insecure. Uni-variate probit regressions find that per capita income, household size, number of earners, household’s head education, improved communication, suffering from disease, livestock rearing, fishing, improved crop variety, micro-credit, social safety net programme and income shock cause differential influence on poverty and food insecurity simultaneously. Marginal probability of bi-variate probit model illustrates that per capita income, household size and suffering from disease are the three most prominent factors of poverty and food insecurity concurrently that varies at individual factor level from composite factor level. The average predicted probability indicates that majority of the households are more likely to stay poor and food insecure. There is a strong and complex link between poverty and food insecurity, while some poor are food insecure and some are not. Hence, policies devised based on only one indicator may not achieve the development targets fully and resource allocation may be inefficient. The study recommends that there should be synergies between policies which should address both the social indicators jointly.

“…They also find that household size, rainfall, livestock holdings, access to information, off-farm employment opportunities, and female access to resources all relate to household vulnerability to food insecurity [41]. Other studies in Africa also note the importance of household size, land tenure, and livelihood diversification in achieving food security for agropastoral households [37,39,46]. A common theme among many of these studies is a focus on engaged and culturally competent policy and development initiatives to aid food security in agropastoral communities [8,40,41,44,45].…”

“…Of the limited studies that do explicitly examine food security in agropastoral communities, many use one or more of these externally validated consumptive or experiential indicators [36][37][38]. Geographically, most of the published works that take this focus are set in Africa [39][40][41][42][43].…”

“…Surveying these works, a variety of finings yield potentially useful insights into our examination of household food security in southern Kyrgyzstan. Some studies found that agropastoral livelihoods are largely successful in ensuring a base level of food security across a community [37]. In contrast, others find a high rate of food insecurity throughout the agropastoral community [38].…”

Background In mountainous nations like Kyrgyzstan households face substantial environmental and infrastructural challenges as they strive to achieve food security. Measuring food security in montane and agropastoral communities is difficult due to seasonal variations, varied livelihood strategies, and the difficulty of reaching respondents. This study examines intricacies associated with measuring household food security in the southern Kyrgyz highlands and discusses the wider implications for measuring food security in an agropastoral setting. To do this, we deployed multiple types of household food security measures (economic, experiential, and consumptive) via survey (n = 1234) within one southern rayon (district). Results Households are largely successful in mitigating acute food insecurity, yet issues of chronic food insecurity persist. Conceptual and statistical similarities between measures support the identification of food security indicator typologies. However, comparing measures of different types presented contradictory narratives in which one type indicates advantageous and the other disadvantageous results. In analyzing the disconnect, natural and socioeconomic shocks are found to be highly influential. Conclusion It is posited households are successful in responding to shocks through the deployment of coping strategies, such as using loan funds to purchase food. Socioeconomic indicators, such as asset ownership, are implicated as drivers of food security. Findings, discussion, and conclusions contribute to the shared understanding of the measurement of food security in agropastoral communities.

Finding magnitude and Identification of factors that are strongly linked with the rural poverty is an important aspect in developing successful strategies intended for poverty. In this study we have also estimated poverty incidence, intensity and severity among the rural households in Athara Hazari (one of four sub district of Jhang, Punjab Province) along with the other demographic , social and socioeconomic factors of households that affect the poverty. The analysis of the study carried out on the basis of primary data and the same was collected through the structured and specifically designed questionnaires and document analysis. Multi-stage random sampling technique was employed to select 1000 household head as respondents from the different villages of study area. This study used poverty line Rs. 2478/which was calculated by the Planning Commission of Pakistan. According to the survey conducted in 2017, 40.3% are below the Poverty line (15% people are extremely poor). Depth and severity are 34% and 11% respectively. Majority of families were headed by farmer, illiterate and aged persons and also all three measures, headcount index, depth and severity of poverty were worse among these households. Results of the logistic regression suggest that an increase in the landholding, livestock and total assets of the household have considerably decreasing the probability of being poor in the study area.
