1 Introduction Food security refers to children's continuous access to safe and nutritious food that is necessary for them to maintain normal growth and development and to lead an active and healthy life. The opposite is defined as food insecurity (Lynton-Evans 1997). The main causes of household food insecurity in underdeveloped countries are poverty, low agricultural production, high food prices, natural disasters and seasonal factors (Ali et al. 2019).
