How Livelihood Change Affects Food Choice Behaviors in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Scoping Review

“…Articles were combined across food choice behaviors, excluding an additional 21 duplications. A total of 53 articles were included in the analysis ( Table 1 ) [ [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [41] , [42] , [43] , [44] , [45] , [46] , [47] , [48] , [49] , [50] , [51] , [52] , [53] , [54] , [55] , [56] , [57] , [58] , [59] , [60] , [61] , [62] , [63] , [64] , [65] , [66] , [67] , [68] ], from Africa ( n = 25), Asia ( n = 24), Latin America ( n = 3), and mixed LMIC regions ( n = 2). Sixteen were qualitative, 20 quantitative, and 17 were mixed methods.…”

“…Of those that used quantitative methods, 3 were longitudinal, 2 were randomized control trials, and all others were cross-sectional. Five recurring mechanisms of how livelihood changes affect food choice behaviors in LMIC were identified: occupation, locality, time, income, and social relations ( Table 2 [ [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [41] , [42] , [43] , [44] , [45] , [46] , [47] , [48] , [49] , [50] , [51] , [52] , [53] , [55] , [56] , [57] , [58] , [59] , [60] , [61] , [62] , [64] , [65] , [66] , [67] , [68] ] and Figure 2 ).…”

Increased climate variability and sedentarization in Tanzania: health and nutrition implications on pastoral communities of Mvomero and Handeni districts, Tanzania Longitudinal Qualitative: Focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, key informant interviews, market surveys February–October 2017 Mvomero and Handeni districts, Tanzania Households ( n = 60) in 6 villages (intensive sedentary n = 1, extensive sedentary n = 2, extensive pastoral n = 3); focus groups ( n = 54); key informant interviews ( n = 54) Saronga et al.…”

“…Livelihood characteristics were consistently identified as central to food choice. Findings from the DFC program portfolio guided initial conceptualization of the relationships between livelihoods and food consumption, and also informed the scope of this literature review [ [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] ].…”

Interdependence between climate change and migration: Does agriculture, geography, and development level matter in sub‐Saharan Africa?

“…There are also studies on Africa (Atuoye et al, 2021; Grace et al, 2018; Klaiber, 2014; Marchiori et al, 2012; Morrissey, 2013; Mueller et al, 2020; Ripkey et al, 2021) that provide empirical findings on the climate–migration relationship. For instance, Mueller et al (2020) used a regression analysis to examine transitory migratory responses to local temperature and precipitation anomalies in East Africa.…”
