Household Crop-Diversity And Household Food Security / Self Sufficiency/Access To Natural Resources

Abstract

This paper discusses household food security, self-sufficiency, access to natural resources as a source of food and crop-diversity. The analysis is based on a survey that was carried out in four communal areas: Svosve, Mhondoro- Ngezi, Chiduku and Buhera. The data for Svosve and Mhondoro-Ngezi were collected in 1996 and that for Chiduku and Buhera were collected in early 1997. The data on crop production were collected for Buhera and Chiduku only.
