The U.S Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines food insecurity as
uncertainty of having, or unable to acquire enough food to meet the
needs of their members because of insufficient money or other
resources for food at times during the year. This book discusses
patterns, prevalence and risk factors of food insecurity. Chapter
One synthesizes the current literature on the prevalence,
contributing factors and, the consequences of food insecurity in
the United States; and presents a model framework to demonstrate
the intersection of these consequences with health in vulnerable
populations, as well as the implications for primary health care.
Chapter Two explores why it is important for healthcare
professionals to learn about food insecurity. Chapter Three
commences with a brief description of the concepts and measurements
of food insecurity, and presents the burden of food insecurity
among the general population, and among HIV- infected, and
HIV-affected populations. Chapter Four studies markets, methods,
and options for improving safety and supply security of artisanally
fished omena in Lake Victoria in Kenya.
