“…High food prices prompt consumers to seek lower-cost alternatives and lower income populations tend to be more sensitive to food prices (Fang et al, 2018). Additionally, food demand patterns and nutrient intake are strongly correlated as any change in food prices and/or income impacts food consumption, thus affecting individuals' nutrient availability (Hahn and Davis, 2014;Lin et al, 2014).…”

A nutritional transition is occurring in Sri Lanka, which steers people away from nutrient-rich diets, contributing to diet-related disease and poor economic performance. This study examines demographic impacts on consumption of major food commodities and estimates price and expenditure elasticities for major food groups and nutrients. Data from the Sri Lankan Department of Census and Statistics Household Income and Expenditure survey are used to estimate price and expenditure elasticities for food commodities and nutrients using the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS). The zero-expenditure problem is circumvented by employing a Tobit model. Results demonstrate the impact of price and income changes on dietary intake of households, and income and nutrition policy recommendations are presented.

“…We made adjustments in the localization parameter using Xie's method. Even then, the prices of crops for parameter adjustment and some other prices were influenced by the market, and large area production would lead to a reduced price in the long run when the supply will exceed the demand (Fang, Huang, and Leung 2018;Cui et al 2019). In addition, with respect to the indicators of the ecological subsystem and that were chosen through PCA, there was no evidence to demonstrate that the indicators of the ecological and economic subsystems were irrelevant.…”

For the sustainable development of human beings and society, it is important to conserve the ecosystems and alleviate poverty in the low agricultural productivity or ecologically vulnerable areas. To avoid the decrease in ecosystem services (ES) under the effects associated with reducing poverty, we need to carefully consider the relationship between land use changes and the economic development in economically poor areas. We selected the Lingqiu County as our study area, which is a national impoverished county in China, and analyzed the impact of poverty alleviation efforts on the ecological and economic sustainability in the region through ES evaluation. The results showed that land use change in the Lingqiu County has not changed the ES significantly during 2007-2016. The gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate (15.81%) during 2001-2016, indicates the effectiveness of the poverty alleviation efforts implemented. The rise in the index of ecological and economic relationship during 2001-2016 (from 0.2389 to 0.3629) maintains in a harmonious coordination situation. Presently, the value of ES has not been converted to market-based benefits, and therefore, it is indispensable to find a marketplace for ES (in an innovative way) to promote the high-quality sustainable development of a local economy.

“…However, when it comes to the extreme ends of the process, relations become impersonal (Busch, 1997). It is also important to acknowledge that locally produced food has become the foci of food self-sufficiency among some consumers (Fang et al, 2018), therefore, it is important to understand local food systems to establish the dynamics of interactions between the various stakeholders of these food systems.…”

Background Over the last few decades the food production, distribution and consumption chains have become complex as a result of globalisation and food travelling over large distances. The food supply chain is a multi-layered structure with multiple interactions across and within the hierarchical levels across the entire food system. As unwanted factors and food safety behaviours could lead to global food poisoning catastrophes, it is important to adopt a systems approach to gain a whole-system perspective of the global food system. Scope and Approach In this review the importance of adopting a complex systems approach towards the global food system and a possible systems analysis method that would help capture this perspective are described. This study emphasizes the importance of adopting a proactive approach, starting with identifying the similarities between the characteristics of complex systems and the food system and the importance and benefits of adopting a whole system approach in the global food system.
