Vulnerable to what?
  • Household food security:
    “access to adequate food at all times for an active and healthy life”


  • Household livelihood security:
    “A livelihood comprises the capabilities, assets (stores, resources, claims and access) and activities required for a means of living; a livelihood is sustainable when it can cope with and recover from stress and shocks, maintain and enhance its capabilities and assets and provide sustainable livelihood opportunities for the next generation” (Chambers and Conway: 1992).
