Abstract
Food security is often defined in terms food availability, food access and food utilization (USAID 1995). Food availability is achieved when sufficient quantities of food are constantly available to all individuals within the country. Such food items can be supplied through house hold production, other domestic output, commercial outputs and commercial imports of food assistance. Access is assured when household and all individuals within them have adequate resources to obtain appropriate food for a nutritional diet. Access depends upon disposable income available to house hold. The main objective of the study on food security was to assess and describe the factors influencing the production, processing and storage of Mahangu food at household and community levels in the Kavango East Region in Namibia. The study adopted a qualitative approach involving collection of data through observations and interviews from the study area and the inhabitants of the study area. The sample of the study comprised of 3 constituency Councillors (one from each constituency), 3 members of the Local Development Coordinating Committee (one from each constituency) and 5 heads of households from each constituency (total, 15 heads of households). Interview guides were used as research instruments to solicit information from the sample chosen. The data collected was analysed qualitatively using themes and narratives from participants.
