“…However, based on the Brant test, the null hypothesis of proportional odds was rejected (its test statistic with 22 degrees of freedom was 1270.86, indicating that the null hypothesis was rejected at the 1% level). In line with several previous papers (Lyu and Wehby, 2022;Nelson et al, 2022;Pichardo et al, 2022), multinomial logistic regression was selected because it permits different coefficients across more than two categories of outcome variables, making it possible to determine the choice probabilities of different channels. The multinomial logistic regression model for household food insecurity status and the set of explanatory variables X are as follows (Greene, 2020):…”

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected access to adequate and nutritious food, resulting in hunger, malnutrition and increased food insecurity. The purpose of this study was to identify the households in Indonesia that were most likely to experience the pandemic's effects.Design/methodology/approachUsing raw data from nationwide Indonesian household socioeconomic and expenditure surveys (SUSENAS 2020 and SUSENAS 2021), food insecurity was measured using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES). A multinomial logistic regression model was used to analyze the data.FindingsThe prevalence of mild, moderate and severe food insecurity increased from 20.61% to 21.67% and from 1.28% to 1.37%, respectively, between 2020 (the initial stage of the COVID-19 pandemic) and 2021 (the period during which the infection rapidly spread nationwide). The estimation results of the multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that urban households, which may have had more difficulties with income generation and access to food due to behavioral constraints, were more likely to be affected by the pandemic. Additionally, economically vulnerable poor households, households with low levels of education or unemployed heads were more likely to be affected by the pandemic.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors knowledge, this is the first study to access the impact of economic downturn and social restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic on household food insecurity in Indonesia, using the nationwide household survey data.

“…The prevalence of disease has negative and significant relationship that showed that if the number of days a person face disease increases the nutritional security decreased. The increase of food and medicine expenditure during disease time also increased but overall nutritional security has negative affect due to disease prevalence (Nelson et al, 2022). The net income is either declined and remain stagnant but the expenditure increases due to disease prevalence that affected the consumption of food.…”

Food insecurity and health is turning out to be one of the biggest issues of the world especially in the pandemic. Developing countries are particularly affected badly from the problem of food insecurity and malnutrition. Food and nutrition (macro and micro nutrition) status was assessed by using the calories and nutrition intake method in the rural and urban areas of district Faisalabad and food security index was used to estimate the absolute food security status. Primary data set about 500 households were collected from the rural and urban areas. The results show that calories and macronutrient’s security status was better in the urban areas while the situation of micro nutrients was better in rural areas. It was found 49 percent households in rural areas and 43 percent households in urban areas were food and nutrition secure. The impact of covid-19 was evident in urban areas especially in low-income households and people who earn daily wages. The regression analysis showed that prevalence of disease, Education, household income, family size, number daily intake meals, age of household head and land size were significant impact on the food and nutrition security status in both rural and urban areas.

“…Understanding the specific needs and barriers faced by different types of community stakeholders can inform the development and adaptation of programs and/or strategies that better fit the needs of those implementing the program and those receiving the services and resources [ 18 , 39 , 40 ]. As the previous research suggested, a multi-sector response is essential to coordinating community support and increasing the access to unmet social needs, specifically with respect to addressing food security [ 16 , 41 , 42 , 43 ]. Moreover, exploring the barriers and needs of different types of stakeholders during times of economic, political, or social crises (i.e., the COVID-19 pandemic) is critical for identifying the short- and long-term implications of the infrastructure that impacts the development and implementation of policies and programs intended to improve the health and quality of life of individuals in these communities [ 16 , 18 , 44 ].…”

“…The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic in March 2020 [ 15 ], impacting many households, specifically those living in low-income communities [ 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Unemployment rates related to COVID-19 resulted in individuals reporting difficulty in obtaining healthy and affordable foods for themselves and their children [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ], exacerbating existing racial/ethnic and socioeconomic inequities [ 22 , 23 ].…”

This qualitative study aimed to determine the perceived barriers of different community stakeholders’ to providing resources for improving food security in households with young children in the U.S. Community stakeholders working with low-income families with children 0–3 years of age in Florida were recruited to represent healthcare (n = 7), community/policy development (n = 6), emergency food assistance (n = 6), early childhood education (n = 7), and nutrition education (n = 6) sectors. In 2020, one-on-one interviews were conducted with each stakeholder in via Zoom, using an interview script based on the PRECEDE–PROCEED model and questions to capture the impacts of COVID-19. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using a deductive thematic approach. A cross-tab qualitative analysis was used to compare data across categories of stakeholders. Healthcare professionals and nutrition educators indicated stigma, community/policy development stakeholders indicated a lack of time, emergency food assistance personnel indicated a limited access to food, and early childhood professionals indicated a lack of transportation as the main barriers to food security prior to COVID-19. COVID-19 impacts included the fear of virus exposure, new restrictions, lack of volunteers, and a lack of interest in virtual programming as barriers to food security. As perceived barriers may vary with respect to providing resources to improve food security in families with young children and the COVID-19 impacts persist, coordinated policy, systems, and environmental changes are needed.
