Food insecurity or insufficiency, among other factors, is triggered by structural inequalities. Food insecurity is an inflexible problematic situation in South Africa. The country has a custom of evidence-based decision making, stocked in the findings of generalized national household surveys. Conversely, the deep insights from the heterogeneity of the sub-national analysis remain a principally unexploited means of understanding of the contextual experience of food insecurity or insufficiency in South Africa. The data present the food insufficiency status with special focus on adult and children. The data also reveal the adult and children food insufficiency status across the provinces in South Africa. The data contains socioeconomic and demographic characteristics as well the living condition and food security status of the households.
粮食不安全或不足等问题是由结构性不平等引发的。在南非，粮食不安全是一个严峻的问题。该国有着基于证据进行决策的传统，这一传统基于全国性综合家庭调查的结果。相反，来自次国家级分析异质性的深刻见解在很大程度上仍是未被利用的理解南非粮食不安全或不足情境体验的方式。这些数据呈现了粮食不足状况，特别关注成年人和儿童。数据还揭示了南非各省成年人和儿童的粮食不足状况。这些数据包含社会经济和人口特征，以及家庭的生活条件和粮食安全状况。
