对文达地区两组农村农户的家庭粮食安全状况进行了定量评估：一组生产供当地销售或消费的蔬菜，另一组生产经济作物（芒果和其他亚热带水果）。利用从52个农民（20个粮食作物农民，32个芒果种植者）收集的数据，计算了粮食供应和能量，蛋白质和脂肪的需求量，并得出了平衡。结果发现，超过80%的家庭的能量、蛋白质和脂肪摄入量处于负平衡状态。两组农民的平均能量、蛋白质和脂肪覆盖率消费是相同的。一些农业决定因素进行了测试，但只有非农业决定因素被发现是显着的。这些指标包括家庭规模、家庭（食品）支出和食品支出占预算的比例。
The household food security position of two groups of rural farming households in the Venda region was evaluated quantitatively: one group produces vegetables that are sold or consumed locally, the other group produces cash crops (mangoes and other subtropical fruits). Using the collected data from 52 farmers (20 food-crop farmers, 32 mango-growers), food availability and energy, protein and fat requirements were calculated and balances derived. It was found that more than 80% of the households had a negative balance of energy, protein and fat intake. The average energy, protein and fat coverage consumption was the same for both groups of farmers. A number of agricultural determinants were tested, but only non-agricultural determinants were found to be significant. These included household size, household (food) expenditure and proportion of the budget spent on food.
