从对魁北克城市和农村地区异质性低收入人口的98个家庭的定性和定量研究中得出了一个显示粮食不安全对家庭和社会影响的概念框架；这项研究的目的是增进对粮食不安全经历的了解，以便有助于预防粮食不安全。根据受访者的描述，粮食不安全经历的特征表现为两类，即现象的核心特征和家庭的一系列相关行动和反应。这第二类表现在这里被视为粮食不安全后果的第一级。家庭一级的这些后果往往与家庭所属的更大环境相互作用。在长期的基础上，由此产生的互动具有一定的含义，在本文中暂定为“社会含义”。他们的研究表明，人类发展的重要方面取决于粮食安全。它还提出了有关社会可接受的粮食获取和粮食管理做法的性质以及如何评估这种可接受性的问题。提出了这方面的准则。调查结果强调了努力实现食物权的相关性和紧迫性。
A conceptual framework showing the household and social implications of food insecurity was elicited from a qualitative and quantitative study of 98 households from a heterogeneous low income population of Quebec city and rural surroundings; the study was designed to increase understanding of the experience of food insecurity in order to contribute to its prevention. According to the respondents' description, the experience of food insecurity is characterized by two categories of manifestations, i.e., the core characteristics of the phenomenon and a related set of actions and reactions by the household. This second category of manifestations is considered here as a first level of consequences of food insecurity. These consequences at the household level often interact with the larger environment to which the household belongs. On a chronic basis, the resulting interactions have certain implications that are tentatively labeled "social implications" in this paper. Their examination suggests that important aspects of human development depend on food security. It also raises questions concerning the nature of socially acceptable practices of food acquisition and food management, and how such acceptability can be assessed. Guidelines to that effect are proposed. Findings underline the relevance and urgency of working toward the realization of the right to food.
