“…Furthermore, because of the high population growth rate food shortages and an increase in their prices are a repeated phenomenon in Pakistan. It has serious precautions for food security, as the Hunger Index has already indicated the prevalence of hunger and malnourishment in Pakistan (Nazli et al, 2012). Keeping in view the significance of food demand analysis, present study has attempted to analyze the household food demand and its major determinants in Pakistan by estimating the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) model on Household Integrated Income and Consumption Survey (HIICS) 2015-16.…”

The household's demand analysis is very crucial in the sense that undernourishment negatively affects productivity. Food demand is crucial to gauge the household's ability or willingness to purchase/consume different food commodities. The study attempts to analyze the household's food demand in Pakistan by estimating the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) on Household Integrated Income and Consumption Survey (HIICS) 2015-16 data. It has been found that the household's locality, dependency ratio, living in own house, age and level of education of household head have significant impacts on demand for different food commodities. It has been further found that hoteling, fruits & dry fruits, soft drinks & bottled water, bakery products, beef & mutton, chicken &seafood are luxury goods. Eggs, sugar & sweets, pulses, tea & coffee, vegetables, rice, and edible oil & ghee are necessity goods. The spices, milk & yogurt and wheat are close to sticky food items. The price elasticities suggest that the demand for beef & mutton, seafood, eggs, and soft drinks is relatively elastic in comparison to other food commodity groups. Moreover, the demand for tea & coffee is least elastic revealing that price of tea has a very marginal impact on its demand.

“…Due to the gap between population growth and agriculture growth, Pakistan has to import different food commodities. Hunger Index of International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and Hunger Map of Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) is also suggestive of the prevalent hunger and starvation in Pakistan (Nazli et al, 2012).…”

“…A large body of empirical studies have portrayed the positive impact of the adoption of improved seed of wheat and other crops and other agricultural technologies on crop yields and poverty reduction (Mendola 2007;Ali and Abdulai 2010;Wu et al 2010;Nazli et al 2012;Simtowe et al 2012). The direct effects of technology on poverty reduction include productivity gains and lower per unit costs of production, which can raise the income of producers who adopt the certified seed technology.…”

In Pakistan, the majority of farmers do not have access to certified seed. The main objective of the current study was to identify and analyze the factors that influence the extent of farmers' access to certified seed and assess its impact on household income, food security, and poverty levels in Pakistan. For the study, a comprehensive data set was collected through a field survey in major wheat-producing areas of Pakistan in 2012. In total, 367 wheat ( Triticum aestivum) growers were interviewed. The data were analyzed by employing econometric models including a propensity score-matching approach, which was used to correct for potential sample selection bias that may arise because of systematic differences between the farmers with access, and those without access to certified wheat seed. Levels of education, ownership of agricultural equipment and related assets, wealth and income levels of farmers were positively associated with the adoption of certified seed. Access to bank credit, distance to and from seed stores and markets also influenced farmers' decisions to adopt certified seed. The empirical results indicated that farmers who had access to certified wheat seed were able to achieve higher crop yields, higher income, and lower poverty as compared to farmers having no access to certified Color versions of one or more of the figures in the article can be found online at www. tandfonline.com/wcim. 248A. Ali et al. wheat seed. As wheat is a food-security crop, the household food security levels were quite high. The policy implications of the current study are that farmers' access to certified wheat seed needs to be increased to increase wheat yield and household income, and to decrease the poverty levels; increasing the wheat yield is of paramount importance to feed the population of Pakistan, which is growing at 1.8% per annum.

“…Households consumption of food products in dietary intake constitutes mostly on cereals, as cereals are abundantly being produced, cheap source of food and readily available throughout the year [83][84][85][86][87]. In addition, household dietary intake largely constitutes in fats and oils, dairy products, Further, results for binary logit model reveal that monthly income, total number of earners, education of household head and access to market are positively related to household food security whereas, social isolation, volatility in food prices and risk factors in food quality are negatively related to household food security in Punjab, Pakistan.…”

This study aims to assess food security status of rural, peri-urban and urban households and role of socio-economic factors in ensuring food security. A survey was conducted to collect primary (quantitative) data from 630 respondents using proportionate sampling technique from Punjab, Pakistan. Cronbach’s Alpha reveals stability (>0.75) of data scale items. Using Dietary Intake Assessment (DIA), findings reveal urban households as highly food-secure whereas rural household as most vulnerable to food security at 2450kcal/day per person. Study indicates food price increase as the leading factor in preventing food security among households. Contrary, study identifies risk factors associated to food quality under the abundant availability and access as the new dimension to household food insecurity. Further, results of binary logit model show that socio-economic factors such as monthly income, total number of earners, education of household head and access to market are positively related with food security status whereas, social isolation, volatility in food prices and risk factors in food quality are negatively related with household food security. Therefore, study proposes educational orientation and entrepreneurial development as sustainable solution to ensure food security among masses. Besides, further country level researches are advised to deep delve the mounting menace of food security.
