- Abstract
-
The study was conducted to find out gender heterogeneity in the impact of agricultural
production on food security in Zimbabwean households. Using simple regression model, this
research accesses the relationship between food security and agricultural production using
variables like agriculture practice, gender, education level, household size, age, household
income and marital status using secondary data drawn from cross sectional data. The secondary
data was drawn from Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee (ZimVAC) December
2018. The findings were estimated using STATA version 14 software. Practice agriculture was
found to be positive and statistically insignificant to the study, also gender has a positive
relationship with food security and it is statistically significant to the study. Household size
was found out to have an inverse relationship with food security and it is significant to the
study. To the policy makers should include the role of women in food security when crafting
their policies. - Date
