ABSTRACT

This study used the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework (SLF) to analyze the lived experiences of 13 women in Brisbane, Australia, striving for food security. Data analysis identified two key themes and four sub-themes about the ‘trade off’s made by women managing food insecurity. The two key themes were resilient pragmatism and coping pragmatism, which both included sub-strategies to minimize damage to social identity and self-identity. Participants applied a pragmatic, cascading decision-making process based on their need for social acceptance and inclusion, as opposed to nutritional adequacy. Coping strategies were found to be adaptive, based on resilient pragmatism aimed and protecting identity.

摘要

这项研究使用可持续生计框架（SLF）分析了澳大利亚布里斯班为粮食安全而努力的13名妇女的生活经历。数据分析确定了两个关键主题和四个子主题，这些主题涉及管理粮食不安全的妇女所做出的“权衡”。两个关键主题是弹性实用主义和应对实用主义，这两个主题都包含了将对社会认同和自我认同的损害最小化的子策略。参加者根据他们对社会接受和包容的需要（而不是营养充足），采用务实的，级联的决策程序。发现应对策略是适应性的，基于针对性和保护身份的弹性实用主义。
