| dc.description.abstract | Food insecurity is a problem faced by countries all over the world. In the Philippines, more than half of the population is categorized as food insecure and the lockdowns which financially and physically constrained households from accessing food has severely affected the levels of food insecurity within the country during the COVID-19 pandemic. The lockdowns have made households exhaust all means possible so that they could obtain food. Different households would have different coping mechanisms in the face of food shortage. Such coping mechanisms can be to modify food consumption or to protect food consumption. Using the probit and multinomial regression models show the pivotal role of job retention, online selling ventures, government assistance, responsible credit use, and promotion of insurance coverage in alleviating food insecurity of households. | |
