| Abstract: | Puruliya and Paschim Bardhaman are two neighbor districts different from each other in terms of living standard, economy, food habits, and source of income. Our objective of study in this paper is to estimate the level of food insecurity measured in terms of calorie deprivation in the selected districts. Since the availability of calorie depends on the pattern of food intake by the households and the two districts under study are different with respect to their socio-economic-climatic conditions, the calorie deprivation in the district of Paschim Barddhaman is likely to be different from that of the district of Puruliya. With this end in view, we have collected data of total 1400 households (650 from Paschim Bardhaman and 750 from Puruliya) and developed an indicator to measure the pattern of consumption of food by using the Principal Component Analysis based on a 4-point Likert scale. The value of the score of the food consumption pattern moves from 0 to 100 implying more and more nutritionally balanced food patterns or less calorie deprivation. The result of estimating the Linear Econometric Model on calorie deprivation shows that Puruliya (Paschim Bardhaman) has the food-insecure households to the extent of 53.47% (41.08%). Our regression analysis shows that an inadequately nutrient-rich food consumption pattern is the important determinant of such a result. Family income, the expenditure made on food, family size, region, holding of land, and livestock – all have a significant impact on food security for both districts. The highest educational attainment by any of the household members has a significant impact on food security in the district of Paschim Bardhaman but the result is insignificant in the case of Puruliya and the reverse happened for the age of the head of the households. |
