Abstract For more information on the Agricultural Economics Association of South Africa or subscription to Agrekon, visit http://www.aeasa.org.za - The specific objective of this paper is to determine expenditure patterns of rural households with a view to evaluating factors which make households more food secured. Expenditure patterns of households participating in the Farmer Support Programme of DBSA were analysed and compared with non-participants in two areas, Lebowa and Venda. It is evident from the results of this study that a high proportion of rural households in Lebowa and Venda is food insecured. Results also show that the provision of support services to subsistence farmers will help alleviate food insecurity. - http://www.aeasa.org.za
