“…In contrast, there is a rise in the chance of the household being in the moderate and severe food insecure categories (Table 5). This result is consistent with recent research in Nepal and Rwanda [57,58]. This could be because the big dependency ratio (less than 15 and above 65 years old) imposes their food demand on the active member.…”

Improved food security remains a major challenge for policymakers in Afghanistan. The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence and drivers of food insecurity among farming households in the Takhar region of Afghanistan. Household questionnaire survey datasets were obtained from 262 farmers via multi-stage sampling across four districts. The Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) was constructed to assess the prevalence of food insecurity, and an ordered probit econometric model was used to identify the factors influencing the prevalence rates in farming families. The findings indicate that 66.79% of the farming households were food insecure, whilst 30.53% were severely food insecure. After adjustment of socio-economic and demographic characteristics of families, the ordered probit results reveals that household head education, dependency ratio, farm income, access to non-agricultural income, livestock unit, group membership, borrowing, farm diseases, flood, and war significantly influenced farming households’ food insecurity in the study area. Our findings highlight the urgent requirement for policies and initiatives to support farmers to improve their overall food security. Such strategies should focus on introducing improved farming techniques, enhancing farmer education levels, livestock development programs, building and empowering farmers groups, creating credit access to households, and providing humanitarian food support.

“…Within the last few years, there are several studies have been interpreted for measuring FS (Barrett, 2010; Zhou, 2010), COVID-19 and FS (Montalvao and Van de Velde, 2020), FS and Human Mobility (Choudhury et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2018), the impact of COVID-19 on food and nutrition security (Nyamwanza andSinyolo, 2020), Food Insecurity, andCOVID-19 (Wolfson andLeung, 2020, p. 19), food systems and FS (Bakalis et al, 2020), the determinants of FS (Bolarinwa et al, 2020;Iese et al, 2019;Le et al, 2013) and so on. By a careful evaluation and summarization of the contributions and ndings of those individual articles, this study proposed a framework for quantifying food security within the circumstances of COVID-19.…”

PurposeSince the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic rises, it poses a catastrophic effect for the society and its development globally. These pandemic situations put global inhabitants under tremendous pressure to maintain a sufficient supply of nutrition and desirable food security. Agricultural food production and distribution industries may play a vital role in determining the current conditions of any countries food security and sustainable development goals. Design/methodology/approachSince an increasing number of people had been suffering from hunger and malnutrition before even the infection strikes, it could create more dangerous circumstances by creating a global food crisis if the immediate measure is not taken. This paper examines the determinants of food security within three distinct aspects (effective utilization of food, food availability, and food access) within the COVID-19 epidemic situation. For developing and validating the model, the empirical data was collected from the agricultural food supply industry in China (Shaanxi Province). Whereas, the core analytical assumption has made by employing the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modelling (SEM).FindingsAfter analyzing the data collected from 67 agricultural food productions and distribution personnel along with the hypothesis testing, it has found that determinants of the effective utilization if food aspects are positively related to the determinants of food availability and food access aspects, and the determinants of food availability are positively related to the food access determinants. OriginalityThis research will be helpful to the government and industry in developing policies and strategies for the successful implementation of all the associated determinants of food security in terms of the epidemic situation.

“…This situation is soon followed by a recovery period towards a new pattern or normal balance. According to experts, the recovery time for economic conditions is about 1-2 years (Bolarinwa, Ogundari, & Aromolaran, 2020); (Campi, Dueñas, & Fagiolo, 2020); (Martin et al, 2020).…”

The purpose of this research was to find a solution during the pandemic recovery covid-19 with the strengthening of alternative food entrepreneurship sorghum. The research method uses qualitative research methods in entrepreneurship, descriptive qualitative action research with data collection techniques in the form of observation and documentation, after the data collected is then analyzed statistically descriptive. The results showed that sorghum can be used as a national food stock facing a crisis and pandemic covid-19, sorghum food stock in the form of grains, rice, flour, soft brand sorghum, and various processed sorghum. National sorghum food stock strategy includes strengthening clusters and production centers, silo utilization cooperation, socialization of various sorghum products, and strengthening Center of Sorghum Entrepreneur (CSE) and Sorghum Entrepreneurship Unit (SEU).
