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.
