本文旨在通过描述一种混合方法来研究古巴一个农村社区的粮食获取问题，以期对目前文献中关于粮食获取的辩论有所贡献。在我们的研究中，40个家庭中的每一个都被要求完成一份详细的食物日记，在日记中他们指明了他们吃了什么，以及他们在哪里获得了他们整整一周使用的每一种配料。尽管在古巴，国家在组织食品分配方面发挥着核心作用，但这种方法揭示了一个复杂得多的农村食品获取网络。通过讨论食物获取和非正式社会关系的替代网络，我们的目的是展示食物日记的使用，以及来自访谈和参与者观察的定性数据，如何能够对食物获取的复杂过程和网络提供详细的见解。
This article aims to make a contribution to current debates in the literature on food access by describing a mixed-methods approach to study the access to food in one rural community in Cuba. Each of the forty households in our study was asked to complete a detailed food diary in which they indicated what they ate and where they acquired each of the ingredients that they used for a full week. Although in Cuba the state plays a central role in organizing the distribution of food items, this method revealed a much more complex web of rural food access. By addressing alternative networks of food access and informal social relations, we aim to show how the use of food diaries, in combination with qualitative data from interviews and participant observation, can provide detailed insights in the complex processes and networks of food access.
