dc.description.abstract | lthough rural households in Kenya rely on agricultural production for their livelihood, attaining food security is challenging in
areas experiencing harsh agro-ecological conditions. We utilized
mixed methods research to examine the effect of agricultural
production, including that of traditional foods, on household
food insecurity in Seme sub-County of Kenya. Study participants
believed that traditional foods protected against hunger.
However, production of these foods, with the exception of
traditional vegetables, was low. Poultry-keeping; cereal/grain,
any vegetable and traditional vegetable production; and crop
diversity were significantly associated with lower household
food insecurity. Vegetable production maintained statistical significance after controlling for other variables. | en_US |
