Insufficient access to enough quality food remains a public health challenge in South Africa. This study aimed to report the influence of community and the household environment, food system inventories, and food procurement on household food security. The findings alluded that food insecurity is prevalent among the rural areas in South Africa. Large household sizes and a limited access to and use of water and food storage facilities for food preservation are the major household determinants. A multi-sectoral nutrition-planning approach that accelerates the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals should be reinforced. We recommend the promotion of food production for consumption in rural communities.
在南非，获得足够优质食物的机会不足仍然是一个公共卫生挑战。本研究旨在报告社区和家庭环境、食品系统清单以及食品采购对家庭粮食安全的影响。研究结果表明，粮食不安全在南非农村地区很普遍。大家庭规模以及获取和使用水以及食品储存设施以保存食物的机会有限，是主要的家庭决定因素。应加强加速实现可持续发展目标的多部门营养规划方法。我们建议促进农村社区的粮食生产以供消费。
