In the face of massive spending from the soda industry, all three proposals failed at the ballot box, but the vigorous public debates they inspired provide valuable insights for future policy efforts. We analyzed local and national news coverage of the three proposals and found that pro-tax arguments appeared most frequently in the news. Advocates for the taxes focused primarily on the potential community health benefits the taxes could produce and the health harms caused by sodas. Tax opponents capitalized on the existing political tensions in each community, including racial and ethnic divisions in Richmond, anti-government attitudes in El Monte, and a culture of individualism in Telluride. Pro-tax arguments came mainly from city officials and public health advocates, while anti-tax forces recruited a wide range of people to speak against the tax. The soda industry itself was conspicuously absent from news coverage. Instead, in each community, the industry funded anti-tax coalition groups, whose affiliation with industry was often not acknowledged in the news. Our analysis of this coverage exposes how soda tax opponents used strategies established by the tobacco industry to fight regulation. Despite these defeats, tax advocates can take inspiration from more mature public health campaigns, which indicate that such policies may take many years to gain traction.","PeriodicalId":314250,"journal":{"name":"Food Politics & Sociology eJournal","volume":"313 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122877110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Free Food Distribution has been the most common approach of mitigating food insecurity among labour constrained households in times of drought. Coping with the effects of drought has not only proved to be a mammoth task for the government but a complicated mix of policy, strategy, capacity and political will. The research is a case study using mixed methods to examine the complications of household food security and mitigating effects of drought in labour constrained households in rural Zimbabwe at the same time examining the social construction of vulnerability by labour constrained households, role of state and non-state actors. The resilience and coping mechanisms of labour constrained households are also extensively examined in the context of household food security. The opportunities for transforming government drought mitigation interventions in to sustainable livelihoods base for household food security are examined. The government acknowledges that droughts have had varied impact on household food security depending on the nature of vulnerability of households. Labour constrained households have been regarded as the most vulnerable compared to the non-labour constrained households hence they have maintained an automatic qualification for free food whose effectiveness and sustainability has not been fully examined. Social vulnerability is complicated and not homogenous thus labour constrained households have an untapped potential, state and non-state actors have struggled to understand household food insecurity and social vulnerability in the context of community and household resilience and coping strategies.","PeriodicalId":314250,"journal":{"name":"Food Politics & Sociology eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122524896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trends in World Agricultural and Food Trade 世界农业和粮食贸易趋势

{"title":"Trends in World Agricultural and Food Trade","authors":"H. Maletta","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2484252","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2484252","url":null,"abstract":"International commerce in agricultural and food products is an important component of food security and, for many developing countries, an essential part of their economic development. Agricultural products (which may be food or non-food) are imported or exported by most countries. Certain views equate food security with self-sufficiency, and thus regard importation of food as a mark of food insecurity at the national level, but the internationally accepted definition of food security does not share those views. Food security is nowadays defined as a situation in which all people at all times have access to adequate food; the food that is to be accessed may be produced domestically or imported. Thus exporting and importing food (and other agricultural products) is nowadays considered as a key element in achieving food security.This paper reviews tendencies in the amount and content of agricultural and food trade since the early 1960s, at the world scale and for major world regions, using a metric of world-average unit values based on 2004-2006. It finds that during the past half century, whilst agricultural production trebled, agricultural trade increased by a factor of eight. At region level, only the Americas (North and Latin America) are net exporters of agricultural and food products, whereas the other major regions (Europe, Asia and Africa) are net importers. It also finds that recent surges in agricultural and food commodity prices (2007-08 and 2010-11) have not disrupted the physical amounts traded, as initially feared.A Methodological Appendix at the end of the paper provides detailed information on sources and methods. Supplementary Information available online includes an Excel file containing estimates of reference world-average unit values for over 350 traded items for the base period 2004-2006. Results are mainly based on the detailed country-level time series on agricultural and food trade annual flows for the period 1961-2011, contained in FAOSTAT, the FAO statistical information system on food and agriculture.","PeriodicalId":314250,"journal":{"name":"Food Politics & Sociology eJournal","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132779391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
