Viewpoint: Regulating meat consumption to improve health, the environment and animal welfare
Publication date: Available online 21 February 2020Source: Food PolicyAuthor(s): Céline Bonnet, Zohra Bouamra-Mechemache, Vincent Réquillart, Nicolas TreichAbstractMeat consumption has increased significantly in the last 50 years. This trend raises various health and environmental issues, as well as moral concerns regarding farm animal welfare. In this paper, we discuss the regulation of meat consumption in developed countries. Specifically, we discuss possible justifications for this regulation in terms of environmental, health and animal welfare considerations, as well as the effect of fiscal, informational and behavi...

Does inflation kill? Exposure to food inflation and child mortality
Publication date: Available online 21 February 2020Source: Food PolicyAuthor(s): Daniel Kidane, Andinet WoldemichaelAbstractUnlike extreme malnutrition shocks, such as famine and drought which grab the attention of the media, international aid organizations and policymakers, malnutrition due to food price hikes are often neglected and their impacts on children are not well known. It is well established that malnutrition during the critical periods of early life – between conception and the first 1000 days after birth – has lasting consequences on health and mortality. In this paper, using a uniquely constructed data f...

Capacity development in food and nutrition in central and Eastern Europe: A decade of achievements
This article summarizes the activities performed by the Network for Capacity Development in Nutrition in Central and Eastern Europe and Balkan countries (NCDNCEE) in the past decade. The article gives a retrospective of the achievements and challenges in building capacity in nutrition research.Recognizing the lack of capacity and incoherent nutritional situation in CEE/BC, the United Nations University (UNU), Food & Nutrition Programme and the UN Standing Committee on Nutrition (SCN) encouraged the formation of NCDNCEE in 2005, which became CAPNUTRA in 2012.The network’s aim was to initiate and support tailor-made activi...

Viewpoint: Determining famine: Multi-dimensional analysis for the twenty-first century
This article argues that a more multi-dimensional view is required for a full understanding of famine, including not only severity but also the magnitude of the crisis, the temporal dimension or duration, and the spatial dimension or geographic specificity of the crisis. The article draws on recent experience of famine analysis in Nigeria, South Sudan, Somalia, and Yemen to demonstrate the way in which our current analytical perspective misses critical dimensions of famine, and the consequences of this for analysis, prevention, and response. A more multi-dimensional perspective sheds new light on famine dynamics, but also ...

Land rights, agricultural productivity, and deforestation
Publication date: Available online 14 February 2020Source: Food PolicyAuthor(s): Ryan Abman, Conor CarneyAbstractThis paper studies the relationship between land tenure for smallholder agriculture and deforestation. We combine high resolution satellite data on deforestation with rich household and commune-level, biannual panel data from Vietnam. We study two margins of tenure security, whether a household has any land title (extensive) and the share of a household’s land held in title (intensive). Using a household-fixed effects model, we find the increases in crop production and land investment associated with holding l...

Tenurial security and agricultural investment: Evidence from Vietnam
Publication date: Available online 13 February 2020Source: Food PolicyAuthor(s): Marc F. Bellemare, Kenn Chua, Julieth Santamaria, Khoa VuAbstractIn Vietnam, all lands belong to the state, which assigns usufruct rights to those lands to individuals and households. In 1993, the state gave 20-year usufruct rights to growers of annual crops, and 50-year usufruct rights to growers of perennial crops. In 2013, as the usufruct rights of growers of annual crops were about to expire, the Vietnamese government passed a law—the Land Law of 2013—that extended the usufruct rights of all landowners by 50 years. We exploit this lar...
