“…In previous research scenario, some signi cant studies particularly discussed the changeable levels of dimensions in most frameworks of food security whereas a signi cant food security framework was developed particularly focusing on linking pathways of agriculture to food security outcomes (Kanter et al, 2015;Garrett et al, 2017;Sassi, 2018). The mechanism linked the outcomes of agriculture and food security more appropriately and directly suggested by a pathway in these frameworks (Renzaho and Mellor, 2010).…”

Food security is a global concern while economic growth, hunger eradication programs, raising agricultural productivity, and public policy measures have played a signi cant role in improving food security. However, to a great extent of Pakistan's population still experiencing poverty and hunger in their daily livelihood. Flood disasters have caused barricade agricultural production and interrupt livelihood routine matters so household-level food security is eventually affected by oods. This study investigated food security of rural ood-prone households of Punjab, Pakistan with a broader aspect in contrast to previous research work. Constructing the food security index composition of different IPCC and FAO factors with related dimensions of food security was used for the empirical estimation of this study. Composite food security index was developed through polychoric principal component analysis. To estimate the in uence on the whole food security condition in the study area food security index was regressed on various independent variables. The nding of the study indicated as ¾ of the household respondents in the study area are confronted with the issue of food security with a changeable scale. Financing schemes, physical assets, and family type illustrated the positive in uence on respondents' food security level whereas respondents suffering property losses owing to oods and having mostly status of female. Findings of the study suggested as integrated strategies necessitate adopting for well deal with issues of food security in the scenario of rising severity of ood disasters. In the scenario of Pakistan policymakers to deal with food insecurity tackled regarding ood hazards.

“…It is predicated on the notion that events can best be understood if seen against the context of how people live their normal socio-economic lives, as against any changes that may be accrued if any sudden threat or shocks occurs. (Sassi, 2014). According to Seaman et al (2000), the central proposition advanced by HEA is that:…”

This descriptive qualitative study examined how food security was undermined during the covid-19 pandemic in some coastal fishing communities in Nigeria. The study used the Household Economic Approach as a theoretical basis to explain the challenges of food security in coastal communities based on evidence from the Covid-19 pandemic. Data were generated from open-ended interviews conducted with 30 participants in three coastal fishing communities in Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria. The study also relied on secondary data from books, reports, and journal articles. From the analysis, results showed that the various preventive measures adopted to curb the spread of the virus posed a challenge to fish production, access, and consumption. Furthermore, the findings revealed that in addition to other human security issues, covid-19 was a natural mechanism whose emergence only exacerbated existing food insecurity in coastal fishing communities. Based on the ongoing, the study concludes that, food security can be enhanced in coastal fishing communities through cross-sectorial partnerships and collaborations between the government, civil society groups and the blue economy.

“…The purposes of conceptual frameworks include exposition (illustration), summarizing empirical evidence and enhancing logical rigor. Frameworks that focus on food security and specify pathways linking agriculture to outcomes include those presented in Kadiyala et al 8 , Randolph et al 9 , Dobbie and Balbi 10 , Garrett 11 , Kanter et al 12 and Sassi 13 . The illustrative pathways in these frameworks suggest more directly the mechanisms (variables and relationships) by which agricultural systems outcomes and food security outcomes are linked.…”

“…Six frameworks implied treatment of individuals (e.g. Sassi 13 mentions individual food and nutrition pathways), but in general the conceptual treatment of the linkages determining intra-household food security status is limited. Although we did not search for frameworks specifically addressing intrahousehold allocation and outcomes, the limited treatment of this issue in more generic frameworks suggests the need to reconsider this from both the conceptual and empirical perspectives.…”

“…Frameworks that include entry points for intervention vary widely in the level of specificity and often only implicitly mention the factors assumed to be exogenous. Some refer to generic interventions such as political and environmental groundwork 42 , policy drivers for nutrition, inequality, and growth 8,38 , the larger biophysical and social/institutional context 29 , components of enabling processes 43 , intervention 44 , coping mechanisms 13 , adaptation strategies 16 , external factors including government and NGOs 31 , or incentives: organizational, financial, technological, and regulatory/policy 37,39,45 . More specific frameworks describe economic, agricultural, environmental, trade, and development policy, subsidies, price controls, regulations, taxes, tariffs and infrastructure charges 14,40,46 .…”

Conceptual frameworks linking agriculture and food security

et al. 2020

Many conceptual frameworks have been developed to facilitate understanding and analysis of the linkages between agriculture and food security. Despite having usefully guided analysis and investment, these frameworks exhibit wide diversity in perspectives, assumptions and application. This paper examines this diversity, providing an approach to assess frameworks and suggesting improvements in the way they are specified and applied. Using criteria based systems modelling conventions, we evaluate 36 frameworks. We find that many frameworks are developed for the purpose of illustration rather than analysis and do not clearly indicate causal relationships, tending to ignore the dynamic (stability) dimensions of agriculture and food security and lacking clear intervention points for improving food security through agriculture. By applying system modelling conventions to a widely used framework, we illustrate how such conventions can enhance a frameworks' usefulness for overall illustration purposes, delineation of hypotheses on agriculture-food security links, and examining potential impacts of interventions.
