摘要:Background: the definition of food and nutrition security (FNS) includes the importance of the nutritional quality of foods other than sufficiency. However, there is still an emphasis on sufficiency, even in settings with increasing problems relating to overeating. Objectives: (1) describe local coping strategies in times of resource scarcity; (2) document perspectives related to FNS in vulnerable communities; (3) evaluate the conceptual links between FNS and healthy eating in these communities and (4) compare local FNS definitions to the national discourse found in the FNS national policy. Materials and methods: qualitative research using focus groups, informal interviews and unstructured observations, followed by analytic coding. Results and conclusions: participants defined FNS as "securing" the food (availability and food safety, including concerns over food production and processing methods). There was disagreement among the participants regarding the connection between FNS and healthy eating. Areas of agreement and disagreement between the local discourse on national politics and SAN were found. More information is needed on how local conceptions evolve in the light of changes in the types of food available and accessible locally for vulnerable populations.
