This short study provides a broad literature review of the gendered dimensions of food security in South Africa with recourse to the current critical literature focused on South and Southern Africa, and to a lesser extent, Africa. The study embraces a qualitative approach, and provides an exploratory and descriptive design aligned to the gendered context of food security. A focused understanding of local meanings and contextual issues that impact on and influence the relations between gender, policy, and food insecurity is generated by this study. The report is structured according to four focal thematic nodes: (1) the socio-political context of gender and food insecurity, (2) the policy context, (3) some theoretical approaches to food security, and (4) concludes with some programmatic and policy interventions.
