Karakteristik Kabupaten dan Kota di Indonesia dengan Masalah Gizi Ganda pada Penduduk Dewasa Tahun 2018

Economic transitions, industrialization, urbanization, and technological shifts in developing countries have led to nutrition transitions, which has impact on the incidence of double burden malnutrition. This study aims to identify districts/cities with adult double burden malnutrition (DBM) as well as to analyze the characteristics of the region. The design of this research is an ecological study. Samples are 371 districts/cities with adult nutritional problems based on Riskesdas 2018, which categorized into undernutrition, overnutrition, and DBM region. Regional characteristics are classified based on the national figures. Samples were analyzed by spatial and bivariate analysis. There were 38 districts/cities (10.2%) in Indonesia that experienced adult DBM, with the highest number on Java island. The PPH score (87.01), protein intake (63.92 grams/cap/day), proportion of population with sufficient physical activity (62.93%), percentage of poor population (7.95 %), population density (2968 people/km2) and average length of schooling (9.35%) were not significantly different between DBM and overnutrition region (p>0.05). Harvested area (26 890.58 Ha), rice production (152.899.76 Tons/GKG), and rice productivity (152.899.76 Ku/Ha) were not significantly different between DBM and undernutrition region (p>0.05). The DBM region is a districts/cities that has undergone agricultural and economic transformation, resulting in changes in food consumption patterns and physical activity of the population. The incidence of adult DBM in districts/cities is more related to regional characteristics that increase the prevalence of overnutrition.

DAMPAK MENGKONSUMSI MONOSODIUM GLUTAMAT (MSG) DALAM PERKEMBANGAN OTAK ANAK

Advances in information technology have an impact on changes in people's lifestyles, including changes in food consumption patterns that consume more types of fast food. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer that is often used in cooking to enhance dishes. After being given a little vetsin, the food can be delicious because in the vetsin it contains sodium glutanic acid (glutanic acid sodium). Children's age or growth period is more sensitive to the effects of MSG than the adult group. Many people know about the dangers of monosodium glutamate and if they know the side effects of MSG, people should start reducing the use of MSG, but what happens is not as expected, many people still consume MSG in excess. The purpose of this study was to determine the dangers of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) for body health and to determine the impact of consuming Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) on children's brain development. We used a research method in the form of secondary data. The results showed that the side effects of consuming foods containing MSG could indirectly make a person experience a decline in brain cognitive function.

Structural changes in meat consumption in Vietnam: evidence from household survey data

Purpose This paper aims to provide empirical insight into the trends and structural changes in meat consumption in Vietnam.Design/methodology/approach This study applies the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System model on multiple cross-sectional data sets derived from the Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey (VHLSS) of 2004–2016 and follows a consistent two-step procedure to deal with the zero consumption issue. The estimated demand elasticities are then compared and analyzed over time.Findings The empirical results show that in the last decade, meat consumption patterns in Vietnam have undergone a remarkable structural change, with poultry and beef increasingly taking important roles in the meat consumption structure of households. In addition, demographic characteristics, including settlement type, household size and the age of the household head, have significantly influenced meat expenditure patterns in Vietnam.Research limitations/implications The paper considers the demand for meat consumed at home but not meat consumed away from home.Originality/value In many developing countries, increased disposable income, together with rapid urbanization and international integration, has significantly changed consumers' food consumption behaviors. This is one of the first studies using household survey data, which permits the exploration of heterogeneous preferences between consumers, to explore structural changes in food consumption patterns in Vietnam.

Role of drying technology in probiotic encapsulation and impact on food safety

The world’s urban population is expected to double by 2050. Urbanization is changing food consumption patterns, and the global market is flooded with functional foods, specifically probiotics, for their gut health advantages. Awareness about the healthy human microbiome among the consumer has prompted them to demand probiotic foods. Due to their potential health benefits, probiotics have been incorporated into several dairy and nondairy products. To overcome the hurdles associated with the low viability of the beneficial microorganism, microencapsulation of probiotic bacteria and yeast is of immense importance. Microencapsulation enhances the viability of probiotics during different processing techniques and under gastrointestinal conditions. So, it is critical to control and design the drying process technology for probiotics encapsulation to achieve higher viability. The purpose of the review is to compile the commonly utilized drying technique for probiotics with their principle, advantages, and disadvantages, mechanism of inactivation, recent research, and cost involved in the processing.

Dietary Diversity in the Eastern Mediterranean Region Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Disparities, Challenges, and Mitigation Measures.

The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the Eastern Mediterranean Region's food system's fragility posing severe challenges to maintaining healthy sustainable lifestyle. The aim of this cross-sectional study (N = 13,527 household's family members, mean age: 30.3 ±11.6, 80% women) is to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on food consumption patterns and household's dietary diversity in 10 Eastern Mediterranean countries. A food frequency questionnaire was used to investigate the consumption patterns along with the calculation of the Food Consumption Score (FCS), a proxy indicator of dietary diversity. Data collected on cooking attitudes, shopping and food stock explore the community mitigation measures. In the overall population, before and during the pandemic, most food groups were consumed less or equal to 4 times per week. As evident from our findings and considering that the pandemic may be better, but it's not over, small to moderate changes in food consumption patterns in relatively short time periods can become permanent and lead to substantial poor dietary diversity over time. While it is a priority to mitigate the immediate impact, one area of great concern is the long-term effects of this pandemic on dietary patterns and dietary diversity in Eastern Mediterranean households. To conclude, the COVID-19 crisis revealed the region's unpreparedness to deal with a pandemic. While the aggressive containment strategy was essential for most countries to help prevent the spread, it came at a high nutritional cost, driving poor dietary diversity.

Changing Food Consumption Patterns and Land Requirements for Food in the Six Geopolitical Zones in Nigeria.

Research on food consumption in Nigeria has mainly focused on food intake, household diversity, and purchasing power. We investigated a knowledge gap for food consumed by households and the land requirements for food resulting from household consumption patterns. The food consumed and the household size determine the land requirement for food. Therefore, a quantity-based analysis and a land demand methodology were applied to derive household food quantity and land requirements for food respectively. The results show that a greater percentage of household income is spent on cereals and starchy roots as the main source of calories and that cowpea is a secondary food option for households. In addition, households are changing their dietary intake from rice to maize and rice to cassava and yams as a cheaper alternative and experts’ measurements of food security at the household level indicates that households in our study are moderately food insecure. Other findings show that the country’s specific and per capita land requirements for food have gradually increased between 2000 and 2018. Across the six geopolitical zones, Northern regions with higher populations have high land requirements for food, especially for rice and maize (cereals), while Southern regions have high land requirements for cassava and yams (starchy roots) due to their respective consumption and household sizes. In addition, from our study, the land requirements for food show the actual cropland area of South South fed 5000 households. Consequently, a scenario analysis shows that the land requirements for food in our study exceeds the entire geographical area of Nigeria. Therefore, continued population growth without improved living standards and adequate food production output per hectare will further exacerbate food insecurity and land shortage in Nigeria.

Fuzzy Arithmetics in the Evaluation of Quality Characteristics of High-Pressure Food Preservation Procedures

In recent decades increasing consumer awareness the innovations in the very different fields of technology and changes in societal norms have led to changes in food consumption patterns. The growing demand for minimally processed natural-textured, healthy, and microbiologically safe foods has shifted processing toward high-pressure preservation rather than traditional heat treatment processes. In recent years, fuzzy control has become important in the application of technology, which is able to meet the quality expectations of consumers by dealing with the blurred boundaries of various everyday product characteristics (taste, colour, texture, etc.). The applicability of fuzzy logic has been shown to be effective in a variety of process controls, including preservation procedures. The aim of this work is to summarize the basics of fuzzy arithmetic required in the fuzzy controls used in high-pressure preservation processes.

Organic food consumption in emerging markets after COVID-19: value-attitude-behaviour model

This study aims to analyse the factors responsible to change the attitudes, intentions, and actual purchasing behaviour of customers toward organic food products in Indian and Nepalese consumers. In the current situation of COVID-19, we are more conscious about our food consumption. Organic food has become very famous at this time because of its use of natural and non-harmful factors of production. This study focuses on changing food habits and consumption patterns of consumers toward more healthy organic food. The sample size of this study is 600. Smart PLS and Mann-Whitney test are used to analyse the data. Safety, awareness and attributes have a positive impact on trust formation towards green organic food. Results of the study shows that perceived health, hedonic and social value positively influence consumers' attitudes, which leads to positive intention, which finally leads to green purchase behaviour of consumers.

Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Food Consumption in Indonesia

Prevention of Covid-19 transmission by increasing immunity of the body with protein intake results in changes in people's dietary behavior. Pressure due to changing environment and loss of work leads to the tendency to eat sweet foods, preserved, high in fat and salt. This study aims to determine changes in food consumption patterns in Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic. Use a quick assessment of empirical facts about Indonesia's ongoing impact on Covid-19. The research approach framework conceptualizes Covid-19 as a 'Cause', and its effect on changes in food consumption patterns is "Consequent". The data used in this study from study literature uses references from national and international literature. Literature materials in the form of journals, articles, books, and news that discuss the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on people's behavior, especially food consumption behavior, which can be accessed in electronic media. Pandemic covid-19 in Indonesian society affects food consumption patterns, namely, in adults, consumption of vegetables, fruits, and spices increases. While in adolescence, consumption of sweets and fast food increases. This change in the diet affects immunity. A healthy diet increases immunity and reduces the potential for contracting covid-19. Changes in different diets require a tailored approach to community nutrition fulfillment programs. It is necessary to create a program to raise awareness among young people to implement a healthy diet, and a program to support the consistency of healthy diets that have been formed in the community due to the covid-19 pandemic.

An Impact Analysis of Farmer Field Schools on Hog Productivity: Evidence from China

In recent decades, pigs and pork have been the central elements of Chinese agricultural systems, food security, and diet. China’s rapid income growth has induced a significant change in food consumption patterns, and hog production has received utmost attention from both, the Chinese government and the public. While the impact of Farmer Field Schools (FFS) on crop cultivation has been widely studied, few studies have examined the impact of FFS on hog production. This study uses data collected from 222 hog farmers in Beijing to examine the impact of FFS on the productivity of hog production, focusing on its three main indicators: feed conversion ratio and the mortality of sows and piglets. We found that farms that participated in FFS programs significantly improved the feed conversion ratio of hog production, particularly in small scale hog farms. On average, FFS reduced the feed conversion ratio for herd sizes of 1000, 500, and 200 by 6.8%, 10.7%, and 14.0%, respectively. We did not find evidence that farms that participated in FFS programs had a significant impact on minimizing the mortality of sows and piglets. This study suggests that the knowledge training model of the FFS program could also work in fields other than crop cultivation. Furthermore, we suggest that more attention could be paid to extension services diffusing knowledge of vaccination and disinfection in hog FFS programs.

Global livestock development: Policies and vision

Owing to the anthropogenic pressures, the global food system is undergoing significant changes. Due to increasing human population forecasted, more than 9 billion by 2050, there is an increase in the food demand and consumption by whole population. The world as a whole is undergoing several transformative changes. Growing population, changing lifestyles, expanding urbanization and accelerated climate changes are forming novel challenges for the global livestock system. Day-by-day due to continuous changes in food consumption patterns, i.e. increased demand for cattle products, resulting from urbanisation, rising affluence, and nutritional and environmental concerns are influencing what we eat, who consumes it, and how much we eat more than ever before. The dual burdens of nutrition, i.e. either overconsumption or malnutrition, along with the need to alleviate the climate change effects, are shaping research priorities, influencing policy, and changing people’s perceptions of food in different ways. The livestock industry is a fast-paced industry. It is changing in developing nations as a result of the rapidly increasing demand for animal products. Demand for cattle products is stagnant in industrialised countries, while many production techniques are improving their efficiency and environmental sustainability. Human population expansion, wealth growth, and urbanisation have all influenced demand for products of livestock in the past, and the production response in various livestock systems has been linked to science and technology and rises in animal population. Rivalry for natural resources, notably land and water, as well as competition between food and feed, will progressively effect output in the future. Recognition of United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as a broad framework that directs growth of the global livestock sector.

Continuity and changes in food consumption pattern among Tibetan refugee community in India

Background: Food consumption pattern of refugee communities was carried by many scholars but little is known about the food continuity of refugees in host country and its implications on health. Aim: The present study highlights the issue of food continuity among Tibetan refugees in Bylakuppe settlement, India. Methods: 200 household data were collected in order to understand food consumption pattern by employing household structured questionnaire. Simultaneously, 23 individual data were collected consisting first migrants (15) and second generation (8) for qualitative study. Results: Households derive energy mainly from carbohydrates and animal fats and there is a high prevalence of food insecurity among Tibetan community. Conclusions: It is proven fact that food insecurity will have serious health consequences in terms of emotional and mental well-being and suggest that further study of food insecurity is warranted among Tibetan refugees across world.

The similarity of food consumption patterns in selected EU countries combined with the similarity of food production and imports

The purpose of the paper was to analyse changes in food consumption patterns in the European Union (EU) countries and link these patterns with food production and imports. The two research questions posed by the authors were as follows i): are the structures of the consumption, production and importation of food becoming more similar or more diverse among EU countries, and ii) are changes in food consumption patterns caused by changes in domestic production, or has food been imported to a greater extent from abroad. The study investigated countries which that have been continuously keeping relevant statistics since 1961. The food consumption structures recorded in the years 1961–1969 and 2010–2017 were compared among these countries. Following this, the countries were grouped into subsets using the criterion of greatest similarity in terms of food consumption structures. The same was done in the case of their food production and imports. The study found that countries were becoming increasingly similar in terms of their consumption patterns. An opposite situation occurred concerning food production. In the case of food imports, structural diversity between countries decreased. It follows that changes in food consumption patterns mainly occurred through the adjustment of imports.

COVID-19 Challenging Period and Agriculture Sector in Sri Lanka: Way to Lead

Realizing the gravity of COVID-19 pandemic, the governments around the world have been putting in place a range of policies and strategies to resume their food security level. Among varies of agricultural productions, most affected sectors are livestock farming, horticulture production. In this line, understanding the impact of COVID-19 on horticulture system is likely to become more widely and deeply felt in agricultural sectors and national economies. This study aims to highlight potential risks faced by; outlines the overall functioning of Sri Lankan horticulture sector during the COVID-19 pandemic and discuss policies need to change going forward to safeguard Sri Lankan horticulture sector from similar shocks in the future. The production and market data gathered from Agricultural Statistics, Hector Kobbekaduwa Agrarian Research and Training Institute (HARTI), Department of Census and Statistics and Export Development Board which were gathered over years between 2016 and 2020. The data contain production quantity, average cultivated extent, retail and wholesale price per Kg, export quantity and value of fruit and vegetable products. Descriptive analysis methods used as the primary analysis techniques. The results imply that there is no declining pattern of all vegetables and fruits production volume. From the retail prices and wholesale prices, we can materialize that the supply chains in the agricultural products have strained to keep up, first with panic buying, followed by forced changes in food consumption patterns and immediate declined with the dropdown in purchasing power. The agricultural export sector is seemed to experience smaller trade impacts, most agricultural exports have continued to reach consumers in international markets. The pandemic is driving some changes that will likely remain part of the future agricultural practices. These include encouraging home garden practices, shifts in online marketing and selling platform, having higher demand for stable and safe food, a greater awareness of supply chain risks, increasing use of digital trade systems and the risk of creeping protectionism. Accordingly, agriculture policies need to change to safeguard of Sri Lankan horticulture sector from similar shocks in the future.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore and typify the characteristics and diverse features of urban speciality stores selling rural provenance food, taking the case of three cities in Portugal.Design/methodology/approachThe study was based on hierarchical cluster analysis, performed upon data collected from a survey to 113 shops, located in Aveiro (n = 15), Lisbon (n = 56) and Porto (n = 42).FindingsThe study identified three clusters of shops according to the type of rural provenance products sold, services provided and clientele characteristics: the wine focused, the rural provenance focused and the generalist. The study confirms that in Portugal, small food retail outlets, with different rural provenance patterns and degrees of specialization have considerably grown in large cities over the last decade.Research limitations/implicationsThe study contributes to typifying urban speciality food stores selling rural provenance products and to addressing critical research gaps on this topic. The study highlights the dynamism of small food retail outlets and their significance, mediating and responding to changing patterns of food consumption in urban spaces.Originality/valueThis study contributes to a better understanding and characterization of food speciality shops in urban settings and their links with rural territories of provenance, an under-researched topic on the food retail literature.

Changes in Food Consumption Patterns in Sri Lanka: Food Security and Sustainability: A Review of Literature

Food is one of the basic necessities that play a major role in human life. Over the past two decades, food consumption patterns in many countries have changed rapidly. The concern of food security has emerged as a global food crisis in recent decades. These global changes probably affect Sri Lankan food consumption habits. Sustainability is an essential component and a precondition for long-term food security. Hence, this study used an in-depth non-systematic literature review on a global scale emphasizing the Sri Lankan context, to better understand the situation of changes in food consumption patterns using comprehensive household survey data in Sri Lanka. The study found out that income growth, urbanization, structural changes in the population on demographics, and several other socio-economic changes significantly influenced transformations in global food consumption patterns. Other than these, many significant differences are evident in food consumption patterns especially geographically, in urban, rural, and estate sectors in Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan diet shows a tendency to shift from traditional cereal consumption to meat, fish, dairy products, and fast foods and processed foods, posing a significant threat concerning the future food security and sustainability of Sri Lanka. Therefore, the study recommended a critical analysis of changes in food consumption patterns in Sri Lanka.

Demand for animal‐derived food in selected Asian countries: A system‐wide analysis

AbstractFood consumption patterns in Asia show a trend away from staples toward high protein food derived from animal and dairy products, fruit and vegetables, fats and oils. Such changes in food consumption patterns are due to rising incomes, urbanization, globalization, and modernization of marketing infrastructure. In this article, we analyze the demand for the animal‐derived food group comprising meat (chicken, beef, pork, and mutton), eggs and fish, and derive income and price elasticities in seven Asian countries using the system‐wide approach. Demand homogeneity and Slutsky symmetry properties were tested and found to be compatible with the data. Our findings reveal that animal‐derived food as a group is a necessity (except in Taiwan) and its demand is price inelastic (except in Taiwan and Sri Lanka). The implied unconditional demand elasticities reveal that, in all countries (except beef in Japan and Taiwan), chicken, beef, pork, mutton, eggs and fish (except in Taiwan) are all necessities and the demand for all types of animal‐derived food in all seven countries are mostly price inelastic. The cross‐price elasticity estimates are mostly found to be positive, meaning that there is a higher degree of substitutability between chicken, beef, pork, mutton, eggs, and fish.
