ABSTRACT GAINING WOMEN's VIEWS on HOUSEHOLD FOOD SECURITY in WOTE SUBLOCATION, KENYA by Bernice Mulandi in Sub-Saharan Africa ABSTRACT GAINING WOMEN’S VIEWS ON HOUSEHOLD FOOD SECURITY IN WOTE SUBLOCATION, KENYA By Bernice Mulandi In Sub-Saharan Africa, food production is declining and many people are malnourished. My study asks: (1) what are women doing to meet their household food needs; and (2) how do they perceive opportunities and challenges towards achieving food security. I worked with two women’s groups in a semiarid region that is at risk because of low incomes and agricultural potential. Activity schedules and seasonal calendars show how these women rely equally on their farms and purchases. They photographed enterprises that provide food for their homes and small incomes. Venn diagrams show how the role of outside institutions increases during “bad years” but the women emphasize that their security cannot rely on this support. Food security agencies need to focus on women’s triple role by working with women’s groups to increase the production of crops that can also be sold, and to plan for the distribution of food aid.

My special thanks and appreciations go to my advisor Prof. Kimberly Medley for her consistent availability, great ideas, encouragement, time and patience even during the hardest time of the writing process. Her readiness to review my numerous drafts was an encouragement to me. May God reward her abundantly exceedingly above what she may need in the success of her life. Again, I would like to thank Dr. Maingi and Dr. Yeboah for reading my thesis and other members of the Geography Department. They also gave me great ideas and comments during the writing process. I would especially also like to thank Ministry of Education Science and Technology for authorizing me to do a research in Kenya. Also I thank all the women from Woni wa Wote and Mutethya Joint women group who accepted me into their homes, offered me food and made me comfortable during the period I was collecting data at Wote sub location. I would also like to thank the two research assistants David Mutuku and Nzisa Wambua for their support and help in the field. I greatly appreciate the financial help from the Geography and Botany departments for providing funds to enable me to do my research in Kenya. My sincere gratitude also goes to my fellow students with whom we encouraged and helped one another with insightful ideas. Above all I would like to give many thanks to my family Caleb and Peter Kimeu for their support and help. They always encouraged me and had faith in me. I would also like to thank my Pastor Larry Stevenson (Oxford Church of God) and Pastor Damian Emetuche for their many prayers and support. Finally but not least I would like to thank Sam Mutiti’s family for their support. May God bless you all. vi Chapter One INTRODUCTION Food, particularly the intake of food, is one of the big ironies in comparative global studies (Nyariki and Wiggins, 1997). People in more developed countries suffer from diseases caused by excessive intake of food, while in Sub-Saharan Africa people have insufficient food for healthy livelihoods. In Africa, hunger prevalence is estimated at 30% (Sanchez and Swaminathan, 2005) and 90% of the population is chronically malnourished (Conway and Tonniessen, 2003). Conway and Toenniessen (2003) estimate that two-thirds of Sub-Saharan Africans relies on agriculture, and that agricultural production takes place on small-scale family farms. Rural people, who produce and mostly rely on this local production to meet their food needs, are also the most food insecure (Nyariki and Wiggins, 1997). Sub-Saharan Africa is the only region worldwide where food production per capita decreased over the last two decades (Nyariki and Wiggins, 1997; Atkins and Bowler, 2001; Conway and Toenniessen, 2003; Tibaijuka, 2004). Hence, “food security is one of the challenging issues in Sub-Saharan Africa which has continued to generate debate” (Nyariki and Wiggins, 1997, 1). Food security is “[a] ccess by all people at all times to enough food for an active and healthy life” (Reutlinger, 1986: 1). Food security includes two elements: (1) food availability through local production or gathering; and, (2) food accessibility through direct market purchases, financial outlays for improved production, or donations toward home supplies (Nyariki and Wiggins, 1997). Food insecurity, in contrast, is insufficient food that may result from a lack of availability through local production or accessibility through lack of incomes and donations. Food security was historically measured by overall global-to-national production levels and the sufficiency of that supply to meet

  • How Syrian Refugee Families Are Coping During COVID-19
    Tragedy Tears Through Lebanon. Syrians Are Marginalized More Than Ever. As told by Syrian refugees whose lives remain in British Columbia, but compassion flies back home. Syrian refugee family’s youngest daughters, Nour Khalaf (nine years old) standing behind her little sister, Sarah Khalaf (three years old). PRINCE GEORGE, Canada - An eager ray of Saturday sunshine trickles in through Syrian refugee Aliyah Kora's window. The week has finally presented its gift. She instinctively goes downstairs, decamping to her living room. With her husband selling food at the local market and her five children fast asleep, this is the time she has for herself, her one respite, to help quiet the onslaught of worries that plague her thoughts. "Mama?" Her voice makes the turbulent journey to Turkey via WhatsApp, before reaching the ear of her mother. Though she dearly wishes to be in Syria with the rest of her children, Aliyah's mother seeks medical attention, a practically impossible phenomenon in her hometown, Aleppo, stemming from the sheer enormity of the cost. Aliyah's mother is in dire need of heart surgery, having been turned away from Lebanon she remains on the outskirts of Turkey. Aliyah spends the rest of the morning connecting with her brothers and sisters, who have been scattered helplessly throughout Syria, with some edging towards the borders, where food is scarce and death prevailing. The usual tranquility this morning brings her, is however, clouded. Burdened by a fresh layer of misery, afflicting displaced Syrians today, that she so narrowly escaped. This haze of sorrow came about on 4th August 2020 when an explosion fuelled by a large amount of ammonium nitrate stored at the port of Lebanon's capital city, Beirut, ripped through the city.

  • Liberalism Is Adultism
    Draft of Nov. 24, 2020 Liberalism Is Adultism Deirdre Nansen McCloskey forthcoming (in Spanish) in Antonella Marty, ed., The Handbook of Freedom: A Guide to Economic, Political, and Cultural Liberalism. Bilbao, Spain: Editorial Planeta/Deusto We all want to be adults. You want the self-rule of someone seen as an adult by others in a liberated society. It is an honor and a delight to pursue your own projects harmless to others—knitting, or model railroading—or even helpful to others—working and then trading. Remember how you felt when you first went to high school, so clearly on the way to becoming an adult. Remember how you felt when you earned your first paycheck, and were no longer going to Daddy for all your money. Remember when you cast your first vote. That you want self-rule as an adult does not mean that you want to be lonely, or that you disdain community. In 1819 a French philosopher, Benjamin Constant, spoke of two kinds of liberty, which he called “ancient” and “modern.” The modern one is the lovely self-rule, the paycheck honestly earned. The ancient one is the equally lovely right to participate, in for example a Greek city state, proudly carrying a shield in the phalanx. “Having a voice” is the present-day phrase for it, the dignity among other citizenly dignities of a vote. Without a vote as an adult, you are a social child, a non- person, disregarded, officially subordinated. Some men opposed giving women the vote because women were after all subordinated to their fathers and then their husbands.
