“…Although it is possible that households in rural areas are sometimes able to grow and produce some of the foods they consume, evidence suggests that cost is a key determining factor that influences the nature and amount of foods consumed, including fortified foods. This is a consistent observation in studies carried out in different countries and settings …”

“…Access to fortified foods may also be hindered by the low purchasing power of the individuals who usually need the intervention . Moreover, commercially fortified maize flour and corn meal can be available, but not accessible, owing to slightly increased costs, especially when fortification is voluntary . In some countries, such as Guatemala, rural and low‐income households are more likely to purchase tortillas or other maize‐based foods in local markets rather than purchase industrially processed foods, or to grow their own crop of maize and grind or mill them locally to produce corn masa or flour .…”

Mass fortification of maize flour and corn meal with a single or multiple micronutrients is a public health intervention that aims to improve vitamin and mineral intake, micronutrient nutritional status, health, and development of the general population. Micronutrient malnutrition is unevenly distributed among population groups and is importantly determined by social factors, such as living conditions, socioeconomic position, gender, cultural norms, health systems, and the socioeconomic and political context in which people access food. Efforts trying to make fortified foods accessible to the population groups that most need them require acknowledgment of the role of these determinants. Using a perspective of social determinants of health, this article presents a conceptual framework to approach equity in access to fortified maize flour and corn meal, and provides nonexhaustive examples that illustrate the different levels included in the framework. Key monitoring areas and issues to consider in order to expand and guarantee a more equitable access to maize flour and corn meal are described.

“…Comparisons with other studies in resource-poor settings confirm that our study population has lower food security. In an Indonesian population, Rosalina et al ( 26 ) identified 88·9 % of the severely poor to be food insecure. Pasricha et al ( 27 ) found 52·7 % of a rural Indian population to be food insecure.…”

Objective: To explore associations between household food security and home gardening, use of soya and pressure cooker ownership in low-income households affected by HIV/AIDS in Aurangabad, India. Design: Cross-sectional pilot study which assessed household food security using the validated US Department of Agriculture's food security core-module questionnaire. Questions were added to explore household environment, education, occupation, home gardening, use of soya and pressure cooker ownership. Households with very low v. low food security were compared using logistic regression analysis, controlling for confounding by socio-economic status. Setting: Aurangabad is an urban setting situated in a primarily agricultural dependent area. The study was carried out in 2008, at the peak of the global food crisis. Subjects: Adult caregivers of children affiliated with the Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS in Aurangabad. Results: All except for one of 133 households were identified as food insecure (99?2 %). Of these households, 35?6 % had to cut size or skip a meal in the past 30 d. Households that cut meal size due to cooking fuel shortages were more likely to have very low food security (OR 5 4?67; 95 % CI 1?62, 13?44) compared with households having no cooking fuel shortages. Owning a pressure cooker was shown to be protective against very low food security after controlling for confounding by socio-economic status (OR 5 0?27; 95 % CI

“…Women and girls often eat last, least, and most poorly in private household spaces (Kikafunda & Lukwago, 2005;Musaiger, 1993;Rosalina, Wibowo, Kielmann, & Usfar, 2007;Sasson, 2012), having also least access to the right and resources to eat in public spaces (e.g., in Ethiopia, Scherbaum, 1997). Ethnographic observations reveal retaliatory abuse for cooking transgressions like burning food, preparing too much or too little, or at the wrong time (Ambrosetti, Amara, & Condon, 2013;Beardsworth & Keil, 1997;Burgoyne & Clark, 1984;DeVault, 1991;Dobash, 1979;Schuler, Yount, & Lenzil, 2012;Whitehead, 1994).…”

This article addresses under-acknowledged barriers of structural violence and discrimination that interfere with women's capacity to realize their human rights generally, and their right to adequate food and nutrition in particular. Case studies from Georgia and South Africa illustrate the need for a human rights-based approach to food and nutrition security that prioritizes non-discrimination, public participation, and self-determination. These principles are frustrated by different types of structural violence that, if not seriously addressed, pose multiple barriers to women's economic, public, and social engagement.
