Planetary food regimes: Understanding the entanglement between human and planetary health in the Anthropocene

Jonathan Beacham

The Geographical Journal > 188 > 3 > 318 - 327

Food regime theory provides a framework of continued and recurring interest to geographical perspectives in charting the contours connecting agri‐food and capitalist political economy. Drawing principally on Marxian regulation theory, the analytical framework of food regime theory outlines three periodised regimes from the starting point of 1870 to the present day. Yet there remains ongoing and unresolved...

Energetic Asymmetry Connected with Energy Flow Changes in Response to Eutrophication : A Study of Multiple Fish Species in Subtropical Shallow Lakes

Hong Fu, Huan Zhang, Liang He, Yongcui Sha, more

Polish Journal of Ecology > 2019 > Vol. 67, nr 4 > 305--315

Energy flow is a central characteristic in all ecosystems, and it has attracted considerable scientific attention due to its significant effects on the stability of food webs. Lake ecosystems that undergo regime shifts (clear water phase, phytoplankton dominated changed into turbid water, macrophytes dominated or vice versa) are characterized by a series of transformation in trophic structure. Although...

Diet change from a system combining total mixed ration and pasture to confinement system (total mixed ration) on milk production and composition, blood biochemistry and behavior of dairy cows

Lucía Grille, Maria L. Adrien, Mara Olmos, Pablo Chilibroste, more

Animal Science Journal > 90 > 11 > 1484 - 1494

This study aimed to determine if a diet change from a mixed system to a confinement system affects the milk production and composition, behavior and blood biochemistry of dairy cows. Cows were assigned randomly to one of the two treatments: cows fed with TMR (total‐mixed‐ration) (confined) throughout the period group fed TMR (GTMR, n = 15) and cows that changed their diet from pasture plus TMR to...

From corn to popcorn? Urbanization and dietary change: Evidence from rural-urban migrants in Tanzania

Lara Cockx, Liesbeth Colen, Joachim De Weerdt

World Development > 2018 > 110 > C > 140-159

There is rising concern that the ongoing wave of urbanization will have profound effects on eating patterns and increase the risk of nutrition-related non-communicable diseases. Yet, our understanding of urbanization as a driver of changes in food consumption remains limited. Data from the Tanzania National Panel Survey, which tracked out-migrating respondents, allow us to compare individuals’ dietary...

A model of the dynamics of household vegetarian and vegan rates in the U.K.

James Waters

Appetite > 2018 > 127 > C > 364-372

Although there are many studies of determinants of vegetarianism and veganism, there have been no previous studies of how their rates in a population jointly change over time. In this paper, we present a flexible model of vegetarian and vegan dietary choices, and derive the joint dynamics of rates of consumption. We fit our model to a pseudo-panel with 23 years of U.K. household data, and find that...

Dietary change in Bangladesh from 1985 to 2010

Jillian L. Waid, Masum Ali, Shakuntala H. Thilsted, Sabine Gabrysch

Global Food Security > 2018 > 17 > C > 221-232

In many countries, dietary change is tracked using food supply data from the Food and Agriculture Organization's food balance sheets. It is difficult to draw conclusions on individual or sub-national food consumption from these data and impossible to study inequalities. We analyzed seven Household [Income and] Expenditure Surveys (H[I]ES) in Bangladesh from 1985 to 2010 to track changes in consumption...

China's changing diet and its impacts on greenhouse gas emissions: an index decomposition analysis

Jacob Hawkins, Chunbo Ma, Steven Schilizzi, Fan Zhang

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics > 62 > 1 > 45 - 64

With increasing awareness of agriculture's contribution to global greenhouse gases (GHGs) and China's position as the world's top GHG emitter, there is heightened attention to the embodied emissions in China's food consumption. China's diet has shifted to include more fruit, vegetables, meat and dairy. Not surprisingly, GHG emissions from food consumption have also increased substantially. This analysis...

Does dietary intake change during an intervention to reduce sedentary behavior and cardiovascular disease risk? A randomized comparative effectiveness trial

Kelsey Casey, Emily L. Mailey, Richard R. Rosenkranz, Aaron Swank, more

BMC Nutrition > 2018 > 4 > 1 > 1-9

Background Evidence from physical activity interventions suggests that women, in particular, may overcompensate for exercise energy expenditure by increasing caloric intake. Sedentary behavior and poor dietary quality are independent risk factors for many major chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether insufficiently active...
