Some aspects of household diet and family income problems in Transkei.
Apparent levels of household diet, perceptions of diet and food production, rural water supplies, attitudes to birth control, and household incomes and expenditure of families in rural areas in Transkei were studied. The results revealed problems of deficiencies in family energy intake and low incomes, such that at least 40% of rural families were living in a state of poverty. There is urgent need for an integrated development approach aimed at fulfilling basic needs.
