| Abstract: | Food insecurity is a very serious concern globally as it has affected social economic lives as the world population increases. Kenya is one of the Nations faced with the challenges of ensuring that her population, particularly the urban poor and rural households, are food secure. This study sought to determine effect of food insecurity and coping strategies in rural household in Kakamega County. This county is selected due to its expansive area and dense population with a record of high food prices and food insecurity of up to 51% hence rising poverty levels. The study adopted the cross-sectional survey design. The target population was 433,207 households in Kakamega County and Krejcie & Morgan, sample size determination table was used to determine the sample size of 384 households. 12 Agricultural Extension Officers were purposely selected since they form key informants on matters related to food security in all sub-counties in Kakamega County. The actual number of households was selected through simple random sampling. Data was collected using an interview schedule from critical informants and a questionnaire for households. The data were subsequently analyzed using SPSS version 23.The results of the study would support the Government in decision-making on matters related to the resolution of food insecurity, policy formulation by the government agencies, adoption of new strategies by stakeholders on securing food and finally, the addition of new knowledge to the academic body in securing new food challenges. Food insecurity's determinants were uncovered, food security status was determined and the households' challenges while addressing food insecurity were elucidated. Finally, the study offered suggestions for further studies and recommendations based on the generalizations made in the study. It also addressed the food insecurity challenge in Kakamega County. |
