Using a mixed-methods approach combining life stories, survey data, and key informant interviews, it explores the interplay among risk management, resilience, and food security, focusing on vulnerable groups. Survey data provide an overview of food security conditions, while life stories capture participants' life trajectories. Findings show substantial challenges in food availability and access, driven by environmental, natural, and social shocks. Vulnerable groups face more risks, rely more on negative coping mechanisms, and are less likely to adopt adaptive strategies. Life story graphs reveal non-linear food security trajectories shaped by multiple shocks. Resilience plays a pivotal role in recovery, shaping whether food security improves, declines or remains stable amid cycles of shocks, coping strategies, and outcomes. The analysis highlights a strong connection between food security and life satisfaction, showing how difficulties meeting basic needs affect overall well-being.","PeriodicalId":11511,"journal":{"name":"Ecology of Food and Nutrition","volume":" ","pages":"1-29"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148758038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cross-sectional study assessed nutritional status among 450 children aged 0-59 months in the Farmgate slum, Dhaka, examining socioeconomic, household, and dietary determinants using a hierarchical framework. Children were selected via simple random sampling; anthropometric measurements followed WHO guidelines. Nutritional status was assessed using weight-for-height Z-scores (WHZ) as the primary outcome, with Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) as a supplementary indicator. Hierarchical logistic regression, based on the UNICEF framework, showed 26.7% of children were acutely malnourished (MUAC-based). Socioeconomic and dietary variables lost significance after adjustment, while household overcrowding (AOR = 1.66, 95% CI: 1.09-2.52) and recent diarrheal disease (AOR = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.09-2.40) remained significant predictors.

Country-specific multinomial logit models show mother--daughter pairs face significantly lower odds of SBM and DBM than mother-son pairs in India (SBM: RRR = 0.882***; DBM: RRR = 0.884***), with more strongly in Maldives (SBM: RRR = 0.469***; DBM: RRR = 0.724**).

Mothers were interviewed for socio-demographic information and household food security status. Anthropometric measurements, and hemoglobin levels (finger-prick method) were assessed. Multinomial logistic regression examined factors associated with anemia status in child-mother pairs. Concurrent anemia was observed in 21.3% of child-mother pairs, followed by child-anemic/mother-non-anemic pairs (18.1%) and child non-anemic/mother-anemic pairs (11.6%). Male children, maternal employment, and monthly household income above RM580 lowered odds of concurrent anemia, whereas stunting, child underweight, maternal overweight/obesity, family size of 5-8 members, and household food insecurity increased odds. Socio-demographic, nutritional, and household environmental factors are associated with anemia in OA child-mother pairs, thus highlighting need for culturally appropriate health interventions.","PeriodicalId":11511,"journal":{"name":"Ecology of Food and Nutrition","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148390195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The questionnaire incorporated validated multi-item scales measuring general human values, social beliefs, and nutrition-related competencies, thereby operationalizing cultural capital across embodied, institutionalized, and objectified dimensions. Parents scored higher on food information skills and sugar and protein knowledge, aligning with health discourse and media literacy. Grandparents relied on traditional caregiving and culinary practices. Drawing the forms of capital framework, findings revealed selective intergenerational contrasts in nutrition literacy and policy receptivity, while awareness of promotional environments remained largely convergent across cohorts, indicating that intergenerational negotiation occurs primarily at the level of interpretive evaluation rather than exposure itself.","PeriodicalId":11511,"journal":{"name":"Ecology of Food and Nutrition","volume":" ","pages":"171-202"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148053390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the duality of social practices in implementing stunting prevention policies among Minangkabau matrilineal families in Padang.

Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, while qualitative data were thematically analyzed using NVivo 12 Pro and triangulation. The findings show that families do not simply resist policy directives but selectively incorporate them into local norms, authority relations, and daily routines. Although prevention messages are widely understood and accepted, implementation remains uneven due to economic constraints, parental authority, and shifting family roles. Participatory policy design involving Ninik Mamak and Bundo Kanduang may strengthen cultural legitimacy and implementation effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":11511,"journal":{"name":"Ecology of Food and Nutrition","volume":" ","pages":"203-227"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148149110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Semi-structured interviews, guided by the RE-AIM (reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, maintenance) framework, were conducted with specialty crop producers (n=11) and food access practitioners (n=15). Producers reported adopting sustainable practices and observing environmental benefits; however, more large-scale, rigorous studies are needed to show measurable impacts.
