ABSTRACT
Household food security in Capurgana and Sapzurro and the association with the collection and the consumption of the snail Cittarium pica is described. A cross sectional-study was carried out in a representative sample of 126 households obtained using a probabilistic sampling. A food security perception scale was applied to determine its severity, and other characteristics were collected through a survey. Statistical analysis was done using the chi-square test, the U mann whitney test, odds ratio along with its confidence intervals and the correspondence multiple analysis. More than half (54%) of households were in food insecurity. Food insecurity was significantly associated with low income (p=0,0003), direct collection of the snail (p=0,0178), education level of the head of the household (p=0,0014) and the money spent on food (p=0,0000). The current use of the snail does not contribute to the household food security.
RESUMEN
Se describió la seguridad alimentaria en hogares de las localidades de Capurganá y Sapzurro y su relación con la utilización del recurso C. pica. Se realizó un estudio transversal a partir de una muestra de 126 hogares, representativa y con selección probabilística. Para la recolección de la información se utilizó la escala de percepción de seguridad alimentaria, las demás características se captaron por medio de una encuesta. En el análisis se utilizaron las pruebas chi cuadrado, U de MannWhitney, razón de disparidades con sus intervalos de confianza y el análisis de correspondencias múltiple. El 54,8% de los hogares se encontraron en inseguridad alimentaria. Esta se relacionó con bajos ingresos (p=0,0003), recolección directa del caracol (p=0,0178), escolaridad del jefe del hogar (p=0,0014) y cantidad de dinero destinado a alimentación (p=0,0000). El uso actual que se le da al caracol no contribuye de manera importante a la seguridad alimentaria de los hogares.
