Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between household food insecurity and nutrition status with a focus on the implications for child survival. Data were collected on 746 women of child-bearing age (15 - 49 years) in five states in south western Nigeria. The study finds that household food security increased with income and education. The findings show that child survival is not only about improving nutrition status in the household or improving household food security, but also activities that mothers undertake to enhance child survival.
