A Scent of Home: Cultural Food Insecurity and Coping Strategies Among African Migrants in Qatar
Conventional food security frameworks define food security primarily in terms of food availability, access, utilisation, and stability.

This paper argues that such approaches are inadequate for understanding the food security experiences of migrant populations…
