Analysing food access to improve food security in South Africa.

This study focuses on the level of food access in South Africa in order to improve food security in the country. South Africa, having been affected by the pandemic, left a significant number of people suffering from hunger as they were unable to access food, due to reductions of income. This research used many documents including sixteen (16) documents which presented quantitative data obtained from different online sources such as government surveys and international government organizations. The collected date was then examined using document analysis with the Ground Theoretical Framework. This framework allowed to compare the level of food access from 2017 to 2022 in South Africa with that of other parts of the world. Results of the study showed that South Africa is still food insecure considering the number of households that are moderately to severely food insecure. The households categorized as food insecure were affected by high unemployment rates, low sources of income, and a lack of agricultural activities. This study offers appropriate recommendations in order to address the socioeconomic issues affecting the country.
