Excerpt

The highest-fertility populations often face food insecurity. Research linking food insecurity, fertility, and fecundity has heavily focused on rural, subsistence areas (see Mosher 1979, Panter-Brick 1996; Bongaarts 1980, among others). However, contemporary discussions of both food insecurity and fertility suggest that comparatively high fertility and inadequate nutrition are also characteristic of non-rural people, many of whom live in urban and peri-urban communities in Africa (WHO/UNICEF 2015; Zezza and Tasciotti 2010; UN 2015). Previous research linking episodic food insecurity with fertility outcomes has not examined the specific challenges faced by childbearing and food-insecure women who live in peri-urban communities as distinct from those challenges faced by rural or urban dwellers. Moreover, neither classic birth seasonality research nor contemporary food insecurity research has well-addressed women’s own lived experiences and perspectives related to childbearing in a contact of food insecurity. Considering the seasonality of birth outcomes among subsistence producers provides a framework to investigate the ways that nutrition, food, fertility, and fecundity interact and may be useful in explaining fertility differentials within and between urban and peri-urban communities. …

Fußnoten
1
The widely used FAO definition of food security from which the four pillars are pulled is “when all people at all times have physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.” This definition is widely used but also is not without limitations that are beyond the scope of this article. Please see Barrett (2010) for further discussion on the concept and measurement of food insecurity.

Traditional methods include periodic abstinence, withdrawal, and folk methods while modern methods include the pill, female and male sterilization, IUD, injectables, implants, male and female condom, diaphragm, and emergency contraception—See more at: http://​dhsprogram.​com/​topics/​family-planning.​cfm
 
3
Because the concept of food insecurity is not meaningful to the participants, we first began our focus groups with discussion of hunger as an expression of food insecurity and what it means to the participants.
 
4
Annual fasting occurs in observation of Ramadan.
 
5
Infant formula would add an additional cost but this was not mentioned in the focus groups.
