Food Environment Lens: Exploring Mothers' Perspectives and the Dietary Landscape of (Agro)-Pastoral Children in Kenya's Drylands.
This study compared the dietary diversity and food variety scores of children under 5 years of age from different ethnic groups in Marsabit County, Northern Kenya. Mothers' explanations for their children's food choices related to characteristics of their personal food environment, such as accessibility, affordability, convenience, healthiness and food acceptance. Their reasons for choosing or not choosing certain foods differed markedly between the Saku highlands and Laisamis lowlands. This highlights the importance of contextual factors in determining their practices. Such knowledge is essential when designing interventions to improve sustainable and healthy diets, so that they are truly applicable by the targeted communities.
期刊介绍:
Ecology of Food and Nutrition is an international journal of food and nutrition in the broadest sense. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of food and nutrition -- ecological, biological, and cultural. Ecology of Food and Nutrition strives to become a forum for disseminating scholarly information on the holistic and cross-cultural dimensions of the study of food and nutrition. It emphasizes foods and food systems not only in terms of their utilization to satisfy human nutritional needs and health, but also to promote and contest social and cultural identity. The content scope is thus wide -- articles may focus on the relationship between food and nutrition, food taboos and preferences, ecology and political economy of food, the evolution of human nutrition, changes in food habits, food technology and marketing, food and identity, and food sustainability. Additionally, articles focusing on the application of theories and methods to address contemporary food and nutrition problems are encouraged. Questions of the relationship between food/nutrition and culture are as germane to the journal as analyses of the interactions among nutrition and environment, infection and human health.
