“…Cardarelli et al ( 23 ) contended that although the COVID-19 pandemic initially reduced access to food and disrupted food supply, in the long run, rural households' access to food has increased through federal aid. Ouoba and Sawadogo ( 24 ) reported that the COVID-19 pandemic disease had reduced households' incomes in Burkina Faso by increasing their likelihood of entering poverty. They showed that the households could adjust to the shock (COVID-19) during a long-term period.…”

With the onset of the coronavirus crisis, disruption of the domestic food supply chain, loss of revenue, and payments that affect food production have led to severe tensions and food security risks in many developing countries. The rural communities are more at risk of food insecurity due to less access to healthcare and social inequality. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on food security and food diversity of rural households. The sample included 375 household heads living in the rural areas of Khorramabad county, which was determined using a three-stage cluster sampling method. Data were collected using standard Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) and Household Dietary Diversity Score (HDDS) questionnaires. The results showed that the food security situation of rural households has deteriorated, and consumption of some food groups changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the multinomial regression model showed that gender, level of education, monthly income, number of employed members, nutrition knowledge, employment status, livestock ownership, and access to credit were significantly associated with the food security of households during the COVID-19 pandemic. The household head's gender, level of education, monthly income, nutrition knowledge, employment status, livestock ownership, and access to credit were significantly associated with dietary diversity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the findings, providing emergency food assistance and cash payments to food-insecure households can reduce the risk of food insecurity in rural households. It is suggested that government policies focus on identifying vulnerable households in rural areas, especially female-headed households, low-income households, and households without a wage income.

“…Several studies have used calorie expenditure and consumption indicators to measure food security (Diramo et.al., 2018;Kahsay et.al., 2019;Ruhyana et.al., 2020;Mohammed, et.al., 2021;Getaneh et.al., 2022). In contrast, Ouba and Sawadogo (2022) and Ngema, et.al. (2018), measured food security using a household food consumption and diversity score.…”

The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on the agricultural sector, both in terms of trade, prices, and the decline in farmers' income levels. Amid the COVID-19 outbreak, food security is something that the government must pay attention to so that there is no food crisis. If farmer households have not realized food security, it won't be easy to create food security at higher levels such as the village, district, provincial, and national levels. This study aims to analyze food security based on EAR and SFE values and determine the effect of socioeconomic factors on household resilience. Determination of the research location was determined purposively, and the number of samples was taken by cluster sampling. The analytical method uses the Jonnson and Toole model to determine household food security and multiple linear regression analysis to determine the effect of socioeconomic factors on EAR. The results of the food security analysis show that 51.7% of households with energy consumption >80% and expenditure of 60% are categorized as food vulnerable. The results of the analysis of socio-economic factors that can affect EAR are income, number of dependents in the family, length of education of housewives, and age of the head of the family with a confidence level of 80%. The analysis results show that most shallot farming households are in a food-insecure state.

“…Some assumed resilience as an end itself which led to gauging resilience as a food security status indicator (Olawuyi, 2019;Akinnagbe & Owolabi 2021) and as a 'direct function' of human capital and socio-economic characteristics of individuals (Ojo et al, 2019). Exception is made of Onuoba and Sawadogo (2022) in their study conducted in Burkina Faso which considered just three components of resilience. In the real sense of it, resilience is a multidimensional latent variable (Alinovi et al, 2010;Ciani & Romano 2013;Tefera & Kayitakire 2014) which must be interrogated from several fundamental pillars, components, and indicators proposed by FAO (2016), and used by Béné et al, (2018) as well as d 'Errico et al, (2018).…”

“…First, there are limited studies that interrogated the synergy between these pair of concepts (resilience capacity with all its pillars, and farmers' food insecurity status). Most of the past related studies treated the concepts singly, while some separately modeled resilience score and food consumption, adaptive capacity pillar and food security, as well as resilience and expenditure (for instance, Wright et al, 2012;Lokosang et al, 2014;Alfani et al, 2015;Wolde-Tsadik et al, 2015;Ojo et al, 2019;Sani & Kemaw, 2019;Akinnagbe & Owolabi, 2021;Onuoba & Sawadogo, 2022). In addition, some of these related studies appeared not to take into consideration the inherent heterogeneity and hidden bias in observational study of this nature, which was given consideration by this study.…”

Recently, many developing nations are disproportionately experiencing the impact of shocks and stressors compared to the rest of the world due to increasing inadequate capability and capacity to withstand the shocks. In particular, farmers and farming households are faced with diverse repeated and unanticipated shocks, which may be socio-economic, ecological and/or environmental in nature. All these shocks become unbearable and worsen in terms of food insecurity. The welfare costs associated with the shocks are significant, attracting humanitarian and development policy experts’ attention to developing suitable interventions to build a resilient food system and society. Consequently, this study analyzed the correlates of farmers’ resilience to food insecurity in South-West Nigeria. Drawing on the data collected from 472 smallholder farmers randomly sampled, descriptive statistics, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s food insecurity experience scale approach, composite score technique, principal component analysis (PCA) and Structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to analyze the data. The findings indicated that more than half (55.3%) of the respondents were inadequate in almost all the resilience indicators and components, had low resilience capacity, and were vulnerable to food shocks and food insecurity. In comparison, only 7.8% have a high resilience capacity to be a buffer against food shocks. 54% of the respondents fall into a high food insecurity category, while only 1.9% fall into a very-low food insecurity continuum. The SEM analysis also revealed that social safety net (p<0.01), climate extreme events (p<0.01), access to essential services (p<0.01), presence of enabling institutional environment (p<0.01), and technical level (p<0.05) made direct impacts on the farmers’ food insecurity status. Conversely, possession of assets (p<0.01), and social capital/neighborhood effect (p<0.1) had inverse impacts on the farmers’ food insecurity status. The study recommended transparently implementing a social protection program to assist the farmer in building buffers against shocks. There is also a greater need for sustained investments across the resilience pillars and indicators to build farmers’ resilience capacity to food insecurity and other shocks.
