Türkiye'de Hanehalkının Gıda Güvencesizliğinin Belirleyenleri

Food

security is defined as the continuous physical and economic access of all

people to sufficient, healthy, safe and nutritious food in order to meet their

nutritional needs and food preferences necessary for an active and healthy life

at all times (World Summit Forum, 1996). Individuals suffer from food insecurty

if food is not physically available, economically and physically unavailable,

underutilized to meet biological needs, and stability in the availability,

access and use of food. Food insecurty is a global phenomenon that has

increased since 2015 as a result of increasing global and local conflicts and

climate-related shocks. This situation makes food insecurty one of the

important issues that take place in international discussions and cause

concern. In this context, the aim of the study is to analyze the dynamics of

food insecurty of households in Turkey. In the study, logistic regression

analysis is used to reveal the determinants of household food insecurty in

Turkey. Logistic regression analysis includes 11521 households in Turkey. The

analysis is made for 2019. In the analysis, the determinants of food insecurty are

determined both at the household level and at the level of individuals in the

household. The model results show that the type of house, number of rooms in

the house, heating system, heating fuel type, natural gas use, credit card

usage habits, online shopping, saving status, household size, gender, education

status, marital status, employment status, distance to the market, the

ownership of fields, vineyards, orchards, the number of children in the

household, the use of cigarettes and alcohol, the habit of eating out, the

in-kind and cash benefits received from the state and private, insurance status

and energy expenditures are statistically significant.<o:p></o:p>
