Food Intake and the Role of Food Self-Provisioning
研究了蒙古国城市工薪家庭、小牧户和大牧户的食物自给自足对营养摄入的影响，发现自给自足显著影响饮食质量与数量，且畜牧业增加动物源热量但减少植物源营养。
This article investigates the role of food self-provisioning for the intake of nutrients of households in Mongolia. We analyse nutritional outcomes within and across urban wage employees, rural households with small herds, and pastoralists with large herds. Food self-provisioning significantly affects dietary quality and quantity. Farming food crops improves the nutrient intake. In contrast, animal husbandry increases the intake of calories and nutrients from animal sources, while it decreases the intake of carbohydrates and nutrients from vegetal sources. This finding suggests household-specific market failures due to remoteness exist. Last, exposure to a weather shock does not affect households’ calorie intake.
