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 showthat 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.

The main objective of this study is to examine the demographic, social and economic characteristics of farm households around the forest area, analyze the household food consumption patterns and analyze the relationship between food consumption patterns with the characteristics of farm households in the vicinity of the forest area. This research was conducted in Takalar Regency, namely in Kale Ko’mara Village, Polongbangkeng Utara District, starting in July October 2018. Types of data used are primary data and secondary data with the number of respondents as many as 40 farmers around the forest area. The data that has been collected is analyzed using qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis. The results showed that the demographic, social and economic characteristics of farmers around the area were: 1) the age of the respondents was in the age range of 40-50 years (60.00%), 2) the highest number of family dependents was 3-4 people (65.00% ), 3) the dominant education level is elementary school / equivalent (55.0%), 4) the type of side jobs are generally planters (62.50%), 5) the longest experience of farming in the range of 20-30 years, (60.00% ), 5) the biggest income is Rp. 2,000,000-Rp.3,000,000 / Month (52.50%), 6) and the highest average expenditure is Rp. 1,500,000 - Rp. 3,000,000 (90.0%). The food consumption pattern is in accordance with the Hope Food Pattern (PPH) score of 97.8 which means that the distribution and availability of food for households is guaranteed with the composition and availability of adequate food ingredients, influenced by factors of age, income and expenditure characteristics significantly and the educational characteristics factor is very real. The characteristics of the number of family dependents, type of work and experience of farming do not have a significant effect on the patterns of food consumption of farm households around the forest area.

Food consumption survey is an essential parts of nutrition surveys. It helps to determine the type and quantity of food consumed, assessing the balance of the diet, the relationship between nutrient intake and health, diseases, and economic status, culture society... There are many methods to investigate food consumption. 24-hour food record is a method that record all food consumed by the subject during previous 24 hours. Using this method in chidren helps to assess the their diet to see if it responses the demand in order to have proper nutrition. Objectives: 1. Calculating the number of each food groups consumed within 24 hours of children 1 to 5 years in Phuoc Vinh ward, Hue City; 2. Assessing the quality of their diet and some related factors. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was implemented on 200 pairs of children aged 1 to 5 and parents or caregivers living in Phuoc Vinh ward, Hue city and some related factors. Results: 82% of the children’s diets covered 4 food groups. Prevalence of glucide, protein, lipide out of the total energy intake were 44.1%, 19.5%, 36.3% respectively within group of 12-<48 months and 50%, 19.5%, 30.6% respectively within group of 48-<72 months. Total energy and protein intake were higher than demanded (p <0.05) while glucide and lipide were lower than demanded (p <0.05). Economical status of family was significant associated with variety of food (all 4 food groups) in the diet of children (p <0.05) and total energy consumed (p <0.05). Conclusion: The children did not have proper nutrition so further research need to be implemented to have suitable interventions. Key words: 24 hours food records, children aged 1 to 5, Hue city.

Abstract Introduction Understanding the various eating habits of different population groups, according to the geographical area, is critical to develop evidence-based policies for nutrition and food safety. The FAO/WHO Global Individual Food consumption data Tool (FAO/WHO GIFT) is a novel open-access online platform, hosted by FAO and supported by WHO, providing access to harmonized individual quantitative food consumption (IQFC) data, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Methods FAO/WHO GIFT disseminates IQFC data as ready-to-use food-based indicators in the form of infographics, and as microdata. The infographics intend to facilitate the use of these data by policy makers, providing an overview of key data according to population segments and food groups. The microdata is publicly available for download, and is intended for users that would like to do further analysis of the data. Results FAO/WHO GIFT is a growing repository. By June 2020, 14 datasets were available for dissemination and download, and an additional 44 datasets will be made available by 2022. FAO/WHO GIFT also provides an inventory of existing IQFC data worldwide, which currently contains detailed information on 268 surveys conducted in 105 countries. Conclusions FAO/WHO GIFT collates, harmonizes and disseminates IQFC data collected in different countries. This harmonization is aimed at enhancing the consistency and reliability of nutrient intake and dietary exposure assessments globally. FAO/WHO GIFT is developed in synergy with other global initiatives aimed at increasing the quality, availability and use of IQFC data in LMICs to enable evidence-based policy-making for better nutrition and food safety.

Abstract The aim of this study was to describe food consumption patterns in Brazilian children aged 6-24 months and to assess differences between breastfed children who do not consume non-human milks, breastfed children who consume non-human milks, and non-breastfed children. This study used data from the Brazilian National Demographic and Health Survey (2006). The food consumption patterns of 1,455 children were assessed using a food frequency questionnaire. One indicator adopted in this study was the healthy diverse diet. The association between breastfeeding and food consumption was tested using multivariate Poisson regression. At the interview, 15.8% of the children were breastfed without consuming non-human milk, 30.7% consumed breast milk in conjunction with non-human milk, and 53% were not breastfed anymore. Over half consumed the recommended foods, 78% consumed foods rich in sugar, fat, and salt, and only 3.4% were on a healthy diverse diet. The breastfed children who did not consume non-human milks were almost five times more likely to be on a healthy diverse diet and were 19% less likely to consume foods rich in sugar, fat, and salt than the breastfed children who also consumed non-human milks and the non-breastfed children.

AbstractObjectiveVarious indicators and assessment tools exist to measure diets and nutrition. Most studies eventually rely on one approach. Relatively little is known about how closely results match when different tools are used in the same context. The present study compares and correlates different indicators for the same households and individuals to better understand which indicators can be used as proxies for others.DesignA survey of households and individuals was carried out in Kenya in 2015. Seven-day food consumption and 24 h dietary recalls were administered at household and individual level, respectively. Individual height and weight measures were taken. Different indicators of food access (energy consumption, household dietary diversity scores), dietary quality (individual dietary diversity scores, micronutrient intakes) and nutrition (anthropometric indicators) were calculated and correlated to evaluate associations.SettingRural farm households in western Kenya.ParticipantsData collected from 809 households and 1556 individuals living in these households (782 female adults, 479 male adults, 295 children aged 6–59 months).ResultsAll measures of food access and dietary quality were positively correlated at individual level. Household-level and individual-level dietary indicators were also positively correlated. Correlations between dietary indicators and anthropometric measures were small and mostly statistically insignificant.ConclusionsDietary indicators from 7d food consumption recalls at the household level can be used as proxies of individual dietary quality of children and male and female adults. Individual dietary diversity scores are good proxies of micronutrient intakes. However, neither household-level nor individual-level dietary indicators are good proxies of individual nutritional status in this setting.

Stunting in toddlers is one of the big problems that can threaten the development of the Quality of Human Resources, that can have an impact on national development. Quality human resources can be obtained by consuming adequate food, both in quantity, quality and balance. Associated with the problem of stunting food consumption in Aceh Province based on the Score Desirable Dietary Pattern as DDP is still less than DDP ideal is 70.0. This study aims to determine the association of food consumption and the Hope Food Pattern score with the prevalence of stunting in Aceh Province. This research is a descriptive analytic with the Cross-Sectional. Study design. The study used secondary data, National Census data analysis and Nutritional Status Monitoring 2016. The analysis used is a regression. The results showed that the average energy and protein consumption in households in Aceh Province was 2.276 kcal of energy and 65,21 grams of protein. The average energy and protein consumption are in the normal category of 105,8% (energy) and 114,0% (protein). The diversity of food consumption has not been varied enough based on the average score in Aceh Province is 77,8. Stunting is a public health problem with a mild problem category known from the average value of stunting prevalence of 26,3%. There was no relationship from AKE (p= 0,430), PPA (p= 0,274) and PPH score (p= 0,259) with stunting prevalence based on District / City in Aceh Province in 2016. The conclusion is There was no significant relationship between stunting and Energy Adequacy Rate (AKE), Protein Adequacy Rate (PPA), and Score DDP.Sumber daya manusia yang dapat berakibat pada pembangunan nasional.
