Abstract

Food trade plays a key role in global nutrition, but the essential nutrients within this trade are understudied. We investigated the global nutrient trade network from 1986 to 2020, examining the relationship with income level and health outcomes. Bilateral nutrient trade data for 48 nutrients and 254 countries/economies was produced, made accessible through an interactive online application. Nutrients of interest in the context of food security and health (protein, calcium, iron, and vitamins A and B12) were examined using network analysis, animated graphs, and logistic regression to demonstrate the inequitable nature of nutrient trade, but its positive role in current nutrition-related disease. Food trade policy should be set with micronutrient content and deficiency in mind to address food security, nutrition, and health.

复杂网络分析与营养素贸易对健康的影响

食品贸易在全球营养中发挥着关键作用，但对食品贸易中的基本营养素却研究不足。我们调查了 1986 年至 2020 年的全球营养素贸易网络，研究了其与收入水平和健康结果之间的关系。我们编制了 48 种营养素和 254 个国家/经济体的双边营养素贸易数据，并通过互动式在线应用程序提供这些数据。利用网络分析、动画图表和逻辑回归等方法，对粮食安全和健康方面的相关营养素（蛋白质、钙、铁、维生素 A 和 B12）进行了研究，以证明营养素贸易的不公平性质，以及其在当前营养相关疾病中的积极作用。食品贸易政策的制定应考虑到微量营养素的含量和缺乏，以解决粮食安全、营养和健康问题。

期刊介绍： Global Food Security plays a vital role in addressing food security challenges from local to global levels. To secure food systems, it emphasizes multifaceted actions considering technological, biophysical, institutional, economic, social, and political factors. The goal is to foster food systems that meet nutritional needs, preserve the environment, support livelihoods, tackle climate change, and diminish inequalities. This journal serves as a platform for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to access and engage with recent, diverse research and perspectives on achieving sustainable food security globally. It aspires to be an internationally recognized resource presenting cutting-edge insights in an accessible manner to a broad audience.
