Keywords: coping strategies; food insecurity; university students; keny
It has been reported that 1 in 3 Kenyans suffers from severe food insecurity and poor nutrition. This study aimed to establish the level of food insecurity among Karatina University students and coping strategies employed. A nutrition survey research design and random sampling was done with a sample size of 94 undergraduate students, who resided within the university. The students filled questionnaires for the details required. The proximate composition of frequently consumed foods was estimated by AOAC methods. Dietary and non-dietary coping strategies to food insecurity and diets consumed by students were established. The percentage of students who were food insecure was 27.85% as evidenced by skipping a meal due to lack of money variously for 1-3 days in a month. Also, 22.3% borrowed foods from friends and neighbors, 48.9% stuck to simple and affordable meals, which were either, rice+beans/green grams or ugali+cabbage/ leafy green vegetables) or ugali+beans/green grams. The non-dietary strategy showed 18.1% students reducing expenditure on airtime, while 2.1% sold assets-mobile phones and laptops. The most commonly consumed meals by both genders were chapatti + beans/green grams at 24.5% or rice + beans/ green grams or cabbage/kales/spinach either at 12.8%. The dimension of food security that was not met by students was food affordability.
Food security is defined as a state of having reliable access to sufficient quantity of affordable and nutritious food (FAO, 2015). Despite the right of every person to be free from effects of food insecurity being declared during the World Food Conference of 1974 (GOK, 2008a), the effects linger in the global society. While it is well documented that food insecurity impacts many children and families, there is limited research on prevalence and impact of food insecurity among university students. In Kenya, 10 million persons and their households are highly food insecure (Kenya Food Security Steering Group, 2008). Families may qualify for relief food programme from government or non-governmental organizations to help them become food secure. However, university students have not been included in food assistance programmes. This leaves a large proportion of young adults aged 18–25 ineligible for food aid assistance in a stage of life where finances are limited (SNAP, 2016). Kenya looks towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The first goal is “alleviation of extreme poverty and hunger”, which the country plans to achieve by reducing the proportion of people who suffer from hunger by half (GOK, 2008). To achieve this, implementing the SDG’s plans at the grass root levels is imperative. This could ensure reduction of food insecurity. Food insecurity at higher learning institutions is not a new phenomenon, but it is not openly addressed especially at an institutional leadership level (Scholey, 2001). A key question is how the universities in collaboration with other relevant stakeholders can engage in finding common workable interventions on food insecurity at institutions of higher learning (IHL) (Munro, 2013). There should be some emphasis on the distribution of resources to populations that are vulnerable such as the student population at IHL, so as to alleviate food insecurity. Food security studies at Universities have used different methods of measuring and analyzing food insecurity. Estimates of food insecurity among university students ranged from 11% to 38.3% in South Africa (Munro, 2013), 12.7% to 46.5% in Australia (Masutha, 2011), 21% in Hawaii (Crush, 2010) and 39.2% in New York, USA (Freudenberg et al., 2001). Karatina University, where this study is going to be done, is a Chartered public university in Kenya, and is situated 15 km North of Karatina town in Nyeri County, Kenya. The University has six Academic Schools and has Campuses in Kagochi (Main), the School of Business at Karatina town and School of Education and Social Sciences at Itiati. The research methods used by the above other studies included considering the relationship between food insecurity and item expenditures and the use of trained students to do the interviews and gather data. Our study assessed the coping strategies by the students when they are unable to acquire food and establish the dimension of food security that the students do not meet. We used questionnaires administered randomly to students by the first author. Foods commonly consumed by students and food composition studies were carried out using food bought at the University cafeteria as students would buy normally for consumption. The detailed methods are further described in the appropriate sections below.
The objectives of the study were:
A nutrition survey research design, random sampling and quantitative nutrient analysis was used to determine the dietary and non -dietary coping strategies to food insecurity and diets consumed by students when they are both food secure and insecure. The nutrient analysis determined the nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins and lipids in frequently consumed foods in order to be able to calculate the daily energy intake from a daily food plan for both female and male students.
Questionnaires were administered to the sample of the student population residing in the main campus hostels and off main campus private hostels. Students were randomly picked within the university hostels to participate in the study after signing an informed consent.
The student population consisted of approximately 8000 students from diverse cultures mainly from Kenya. Students who reside within the university buy their food mainly from the University cafeteria, which offers meals at subsidized prices. The meals can be purchased using meal cards administered by the university catering department or payment in cash on service.
Sample size determination
The sample size comprised of 94 students (47 male and 47 female students). The sample size was calculated using the Yamane formula (2015). The total number of students residing in the main campus is approximately 1500 students. n= N ÷ 1+N (e)². Where n is the corrected sample size, N is the population size and e is the precision rate. n= 1500/1+1500(0.1) ² = 94 respondents (47 male + 47 female). The food samples were purchased at the university cafeteria and then measured using a 250 ml standard cup to ascertain the volume of liquid foods. A digital weighing scale calibrated to the zero mark was used to weigh food.
Proximate Analysis of Composite Common Foods
Protein, fat (using Soxhlet’s extraction method) and carbohydrate composition (using Anthrone method) were determined as described in AOAC (2005).
Protein
This was determined by the method in AOAC (2017) a procedure that is based on the Kjeldahl Method.
Determination of fat content
Fat content of the foods analyzed was determined by Soxhlet’s extraction method 920.85(AOAC, 2018), using a 5-g sample and petroleum ether (B.P. 40-60°C) as the solvent. The amount of fat extracted was calculated as follows.
Fat
Determination of carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are first hydrolyzed into simple sugars using dilute hydrochloric acid. In hot acidic medium glucose is dehydrated to hydroxymethyl furfural. The compound forms a green colored product with anthrone and its amount was determined at an absorption wavelength of 630 nm using an Atomic Absorption spectrophotometer (Devindra, 2015).
Results and Discussion
Table 1 illustrates the strategies used by students to cope with food insecurity. The most used way of adjusting to food insecurity was sticking to simple and affordable meals such as ugali + cabbage/kales/spinach, or chapatti + beans stew, or rice + beans stew and rice+ cabbage/kales/spinach. Others are illustrated in Table 1.
Coping strategies | Number of students (%) |
Borrowed food from friends | 22.3 |
Stuck to simple and affordable food items | 48.9 |
Reduced expenditure on airtime | 18.1 |
Skipped a meal in a day | 8.5 |
Used all of the above strategies over different periods (1 day-3 months) | 2.2 |
Table 1: Students’ Coping Strategies to Food Insecurity
Note: the first four coping strategies were used by 97.8% of the sample student population. The remaining 2.2% of the respondent population used some of the four coping strategies inconsistently.
Table 2 shows the meals and quantity consumed based on gender. The most consumed meal was chapatti + beans/green grams at 73.4% and 68.1% for male and female students, respectively. Chapatti is normally a hard-to-get food as wheat flour tends to be expensive to buy and the process of making it is tedious and so it tends to be expensive.to buy. So when it is sold cheaply at the University cafeteria, students take advantage of its availability.
It is high in fat because liberal amounts of oil or fat is used to make them, unlike the Indian Nan. As it is cooked with liberal amounts of fat/oil, it is a satiety and fullness inducing food. Fat gives flavor to foods and high fat in the chapatti makes it a favorite Kenyan food generally. The least consumed meals were ugali + beans/green grams at 5.3% and 3.2% by male and female students, respectively. Ugali is the favorite Kenyan staple cereal food and it is cheap. It is a food that makes one feel satisfied for long. So a student wishing to get full and remain satiated for a good part of the day running from one lecture to another would preferably buy a meal with Ugali as part of it. Meals consisting of red meat were hardly consumed due to the cost and also its low availability. It is rarely cooked as the sales can be low in a situation where students try to keep expenditure on food as low as possible. The least consumed food commodity by both genders was animal protein. Animal protein foods were not consumed daily due to the high cost of the commodities. However, female students consumed more milk and dairy products as well as fruits than male students. Hence they would potentially be healthier than the male students-their diets would probably contain higher protein content with a good supply of the essential amino acids and minerals including calcium from animal foods such as eggs and dairy products.
Most students also consumed considerable amount of plant foods, which are low in saturated fatty acids, but high in fibre and phytates (these included beans, green grams, and green leafy vegetables)-these are generally regarded as healthy foods. Cooking probably reduced the effect of phytates and fibrous food components to bind dietary minerals and therefore the bioavailability of minerals would not be affected much despite the students consuming predominantly plant-based meals (Castillo, 2007).
Food | Quantity | % Male | Quantity
|
Female students consumed more diverse foods (including more eggs, milk and dairy products) than male students. Male students consumed lower amounts of animal proteins and fruits than the females, though both genders consumed less animal protein foods than recommended for their stage of life. The students lived mainly on plant-based foods. A majority of the students who took part in the survey were food insecure due to an apparent shortage of money to buy food with. The most used strategy to stretch the money available, in an effort to try to meet the daily food needs, was borrowing food from friends and neighbors, sticking to simple, low-priced food items, skipping some meals sometimes daily, but definitely once or twice every week of the month. The major cause of food insecurity among the students was food affordability. Recommendations The study recommends: We appreciate the students for their cooperation and others for providing the necessary assistance to enable the completion of the survey. Michael Lokuruka provided the funding for the study and advised on the procedures to follow in the course of the study. Daniel Sewe developed the questionnaire and conducted the study. The authors declare there was no conflict of interest that needed declaration or avoidance. This was a B.Sc. Honours in Food Science and Nutrition student project of Karatina University.
