ABSTRACT Africa’s high level of food insecurity is exacerbated by rapid urbanisation, leading to the diversion of resources from food production in rural areas. Despite this, food insecurity policies continue to disproportionately focus on rural dwellers due to persistently high levels of rural poverty. We examine the association between housing type and urban food insecurity using the 2017 South Africa General Household Survey. Using the Household Food Security Access Scale and a dietary diversity indicator, we find that like other forms of deprivation in South Africa, food insecurity has significant racial and gender dimensions. Dwelling type is vital in influencing the food insecurity of households using both measures. Persons living in informal homes are more likely to experience food insecurity than those in semi-formal and formal dwellings. There is a need to create a synergy between new and already existing programmes so that they are appropriately leveraged.

南非的城市化与粮食不安全之间的关系:住宅的类型重要吗?
摘要迅速的城市化加剧了非洲高度粮食不安全的状况,导致农村地区粮食生产中的资源转移。尽管如此,由于农村贫困水平持续居高不下,粮食不安全政策继续偏重于农村居民。我们使用2017年南非一般家庭调查研究了住房类型与城市粮食不安全之间的关联。使用家庭粮食安全获取量表和饮食多样性指标,我们发现与南非的其他形式的贫困一样,粮食不安全也具有重要的种族和性别方面。使用这两种措施,居住类型对于影响家庭的粮食无保障至关重要。与在半正式和正式住宅中居住的人相比,在非正式住房中居住的人更容易遭受粮食不安全的困扰。
