The Impact

Abstract This paper investigates the impact of farm-nonfarm diversification (FND) on household income and food expenditure in urban Ghana using propensity score matching (PSM) technique to account for potential selection bias. We find diversified households to be statistically different from undiversified households in terms of household characteristics. Age, gender, educational attainment of the household head, household size, ownership of livestock and agricultural land, and receipt of miscellaneous and rent incomes are positive and significant determinants of FND in urban Ghana. In addition, we find that participation in both farm and nonfarm activities positively and significantly impacts household income and food expenditure. In the light of growing urbanization, with its implications for unemployment, poverty and food insecurity, we recommend diversification among urban households as a means of smoothing income and consumption.

Socioeconomic And Demographic Factors

AbstractIn developing countries, problems such as malnutrition and food insecurity are shifting from rural to urban areas because of rapid urbanization. However, regional variations in alimental food consumption within urban settings have often been ignored. Using survey data, our study examines regional patterns of expenditure on fresh vegetables, fruits, and peanut products in urban households of Ghana. After accounting for socioeconomic and demographic factors, food expenditure on fresh vegetables and peanut products and income elasticity vary significantly across major cities. Food distributors may adjust their marketing strategies, while policy makers should pay attention to possible disparities in urban areas.

Food Expenditure

Abstract Objectives Dietary pattern analysis has a holistic approach to the eating behaviors of populations. The objective of this study was to identify the patterns of food expenditure (as a proxy of dietary patterns) in Iranian urban households. Methods The study made use of Iran Households Income and Expenditure Survey data in the urban areas that included 18,701 households. Principal components analysis was used to identify major household food expenditure patterns (FEPs) and binary logistic regression models for relation between households’ socioeconomic characteristics with FEPs. Results Four FEPs could be identified: “Affordable and Diverse” (ADP), “Expensive and Modern” (EMP), “Traditional" (TP), and “Cheap and Western” (CWP). Factors that increased the ORs of EMP and CWP had many similarities. Being a child under 5 years old, being a child or adolescent with 6 to 18 years old and being a mother's with a university education level in the household, increased the ORs of these patterns. Also Factors that increased the ORs of ADP and TP had many similarities. Smaller family size, older family, no children under 5, and lower maternal education in the household, increased the ORs of these patterns. The ORs of " ADP" Showed no difference between income quarters rather the ORs of EMP, TP, and CWP In households in the fourth quarter of income compared to the first quarter, were 3.57 (95% CI  = 3.12–4.17), 0.55 (95% CI  = 0.49–0.62) and 0.59 (95% CI  = 0.53–0.67) respectively. Conclusions This study clearly shows the role of mother's education and the presence of children in the choice of household food expenditure pattern and in Iranian urban households, especially households with children, improving household income should be considered along with creating healthier food environments.

Food Expenditure

Food insecurity dynamics of rural households in Nigeria was assessed using a panel data. Results showed that 44.4% of households that were food secure in the first panel transited into food insecurity in the second panel, while 32.5% that were mildly food insecure transited into food security. Furthermore, 25.7% transited from moderate food insecurity to food security, while 38.2% transited from severe food insecurity to food security. About 35.1% of households were never food insecure; 11.4% exited food insecurity 28.0% entered food insecurity; while 25.48% remained always food insecure. Having primary education, secondary education, dependency ratio, household size, share of non-food expenditure and farm size explained food insecurity transition. However, the likelihood of a household being always food insecure was explained by gender, female-to-male-adult ratio, marital status, primary education, secondary education, dependency ratio, share of non-food expenditure, farm size, access to credit and access to remittance.

Capital Development

The article is devoted to research of dynamics of disposable resources of rural and urban households; components of disposable resources of households depending on the place of residence (per household member on average); structure of consumer expenditures of rural households based on official statistics for 2018–2020. The presented findings may serve as a basis for justifying the trends in social and economic conditions necessary for the growth of human capital in rural areas.
