Coping With Food and Income Insecurity: The Case of Swazi Households

This study investigates two related issues of development, economic well-being and micro-level adjustments used by households to deal with food insecurity. Specifically the study (a) describes the food security situation of households in the Middleveld and Lowveld areas of Swaziland, (b) determines the strategies used by households to mitigate against food insecurity and how these vary by household characteristics and area of residence, and (c) describes the scope of nongovernmental programs designed to assist households to deal with food and income insecurity.
