Background: Food consumption is a major factor to fulfill the nutritional needs of a person. Food consumption is influenced by several factors, such as the level of income, food availability, public awareness toward nutrition, and socio-cultural factors. Riau Province is one of the provinces that the food consumption is still relatively low and Kampar Regency occupies a very high position in the food insecurity index and hunger vulnerability index. There is 49.21% of the population that could potentially be food shortages. This is supported by the occurrence of nutritional problems in communities associated with the availability of food, low purchasing power and the inability to gain access to nutritious food.Objective: To identify the patterns of food consumption and family food security in Kampar regency in Riau province.Method: The study was an observational research with cross sectional design. Samples are a family in Kampar regency as many as 105 families selected by using cluster sampling conducted in August-September 2015. Statistical analysis was performed by chi-square test and logistic regression.Results: The statistical analysis shows that the majority of respondents had food consumption patterns with the category of unfulfilled as 64.77% and for the category of food security as 60.96% was in the category of food insecure. The results of chi-square statistical test showed that there was a significant correlation between food consumption patterns to family food security in Kampar regency Riau Province (p0,000). The results of the bivariate analysis it is known that there was a significant correlation between the variables of the number of family member, food access, food expenses, energy consumption and protein consumption to the level of family food security in Kampar regency of Riau province indicated by a value of p <0.05.Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between the patterns of food consumption toward family food security in Kampar regency Riau province. There is a significant correlation between the external variables and family food security level in Kampar regency Riau Province.

The Impact

The KRPL (Sustainable Reserve Food Garden) program is an alternative in realizing food self-sufficiency to achieve food security during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study is to determine the impact of the KRPL program on household food expenditure patterns, food consumption patterns, and consumption levels by using a questionnaire interview method in 8 active KRPL groups in the city of Kediri with a total of 80 respondents. The result of this study indicates that as much as 70% of the harvest in process for the food and nutritional needs of the family, 38.75% think that the yields from their yards can meet their food needs. The yields of each KRPL are different due to several factors, namely, the area of land, the awareness of group members, the weather, and the desire of the members to plant types of plants. From the amount of harvest, it can be seen that the level of success of the KRPL program has a positive impact on household food consumption patterns. A yard or harvest yields are still dominant for household consumption. This condition supports the main concept of the KRPL program, namely to strengthen household food security.

Food Security Status

Twenty households in a rural northern Ghana community were studied to ascertain evidence of seasonality and the relationship between household food-security status and the food and nutrient intakes of preschool children. All food consumed by household members was weighed for three consecutive days, and nutrient intakes were calculated from appropriate food composition tables. Diet quality was assessed by quantitative and descriptive analysis. Mean daily intakes of selected food items reflected an over-dependence on cereals and a minimal consumption of animal products. The consumption of vegetables, especially low during the pre-harvest season, increased during the post-harvest season. Nutrient intakes, which were generally lower than recommended dietary allowances, increased during the post-harvest season, although not significantly for calories, protein, and iron (p <.05), in contrast to vitamins A and C (p < .001). There was a significant association between household food-security status and the intakes of calories (p < .001) and protein (p < .01) but not of micronutrients. Diet quality was adversely influenced by a low intake of micronutrients derived primarily from plant sources as well as by poor dietary habits. Calorie and protein intakes appear to have been more influenced by household food availability and were subject to less seasonal fluctuation, while the reverse held true for the micronutrients. In addition, household food security did not necessarily ensure the quality of children's diets in an area where food consumption patterns are monotonous.

The City

As growing populations in urban areas demand greater food supplies, the poor—particularly poor migrants—may be at higher risk for food insecurity. Evidence suggests that the urban poor who pursue agriculture in the city as a livelihood are more food secure. Thus, it could be assumed that migrants involved in urban agriculture are also in a better position to meet nutritional needs. The aim of this research was to explore household food security among migrant urban farmers using data from studies conducted in three rapidly urbanizing cities: Delhi, India; Jakarta, Indonesia; and, Quito, Ecuador. Surveys and semi-structured interviews were conducted with market-oriented small-to-medium scale farmers in each city to understand livelihood and migrant status, household food consumption patterns, and food security. In general, we found that participation in urban agriculture had a positive impact on household food security among participants through direct (self-consumption) and indirect (improved income, improved access) means. Although each case city expressed a different form of low-income migrant practice of urban agriculture, findings suggest that growing food in the city offers some protection against food insecurity through improved quantity, quality, and diversity of food options. This study is particularly relevant in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. These factors guide development goals and priorities. Given that rural-urban migrant trends are predicted to continue, this exploratory study offers empirical evidence related to rural-urban migrants, food security, and urban agriculture.

Food Security Status

PurposeThis paper aims to describe food insecurity status, food consumption patterns of households and nutritional status of families residing along the baobab belt in Kitui and Kilifi counties of Kenya. It also explores associations between these and household socio-demographic characteristics.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional study design was performed with a sample of 216 caregiver/child pairs interviewed. Tablet-based semi-structured questions were used to obtain information on socio-demographic characteristics of children (6-13 years) and caregivers. Food insecurity status was assessed using the household food insecurity experience scale. Information on food consumption was obtained from qualitative 24-h recall as a basis for calculating a household dietary diversity score. Data were also obtained from a non-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements of children and caregivers’ height and weight were taken to assess their nutritional status. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science version 24 and WHO AnthroPlus 1.0.4.FindingsThe majority (98.2 per cent) of the households were food insecurity despite 81.5 and 57.4 per cent in Kitui and Kilifi counties, respectively, owning baobab trees. About 32.1 per cent of the households had poor dietary diversity scores (< 4). The prevalence of stunting (28.6 per cent), wasting (11.6 per cent) and underweight (25 per cent) rates among children were high. A significant association was observed between the children stunting rates with their age (p= 0.027), and also with household’s food security status (p< 0.001). Of the caregivers, 14.8 per cent were underweight, 18.1 per cent were overweight and 8.8 per cent were obese. There was significant association between the nutrition status of the caregivers and gender of the children (p< 0.001) and also with stunting rates of children (p= 0.047).Originality/valueThe study provides data on the current food security status and food consumption patterns of households and nutritional status of families residing along the baobab belt in Kenya which are mostly areas of marginal agricultural potential. The findings indicate a need for appropriate dietary improvements.

This paper addresses the spatial differentiation of food consumption patterns. The objective is to identify the economic and natural determinants of consumption levels and of differences in foodstuffs consumed around the world in the 2000s.  The study was based on data delivered by FAOSTAT and the World Bank. An analysis was performed of global correlation trends between economic factors (GDP per capita), natural and geographic factors (agricultural land per capita, and the food availability status. Also, cluster analysis was used to group the countries around the world by percentage share of plant, animal and aquaculture products in the dietary energy consumption (kcal/capita/day), and by agricultural land per capita. Based on the analyses, the economic factor was found to significantly prevail as a determinant of food security for different nations. The size of the dietary energy consumption and the share of animal products in it depend primarily on the domestic product per capita. Also noticed was the relatively low importance of natural conditions, expressed in this paper as agricultural land per capita. Based on previous research, the suitability of land for agricultural purposes was found to be historically important for human settlement around the world, though currently it is not the key determinant of food security. Also, the importance of aquaculture in addressing the global population’s food needs was found to be marginal though spatially differentiated.
