Food insecurity remains a common problem for Southeast Asian communities that specialise in fishing. Food insecurity is closely linked to other social conditions, and the linkages between these social conditions and their underlying drivers are less well explored in fishing contexts than they are in agricultural contexts. In this paper I draw on fieldwork from a community that specialises in fishing in the Western Philippines to examine the linkages between and drivers of food and water insecurity. Food insecurity is common, and characterised by a lack of funds to buy food, particularly during periods of bad weather. Water insecurity is also characterised by the need to pay for the delivery of drinking water from one of several remote sources. Because of the central role of markets in communities that specialise in fishing, I argue that both food and water insecurity are driven by income poverty. Understanding the relations between food and water insecurity and the wider drivers of poverty in specialised fishing community contexts should generate improved understandings of how food and water insecurity persist, and how these conditions may be better addressed.

专业捕鱼社区的粮食和水不安全:菲律宾的证据

粮食不安全仍然是专门从事渔业的东南亚社区的普遍问题。粮食不安全与其他社会条件密切相关,在捕鱼环境中,与在农业环境中相比,对这些社会条件及其潜在驱动因素之间的联系的探讨较少。在本文中,我借鉴了菲律宾西部一个专门从事捕鱼活动的社区的实地调查,以研究粮食和水不安全之间的关系及其驱动因素。粮食不安全是普遍现象,其特征是缺乏购买粮食的资金,特别是在恶劣天气期间。水不安全的特征还在于需要为从几个偏远水源之一的饮用水输送付费。由于市场在专门从事捕鱼的社区中的核心作用,我认为,粮食和水的不安全感都是由收入贫困驱动的。在专门的渔业社区中了解粮食和水不安全与贫困的更广泛驱动因素之间的关系,应使人们对粮食和水不安全如何持续以及如何更好地解决这些状况有更好的了解。
