Lindblom: Sweet or Sour? Effects of income to expenditure on various grocery categories in 1985-2012. Presentation at TITA Annual Research Meeting, Turku 15.-16.9.2016.
Presentation, ‘Persistence of high food prices in Eastern Africa: What role for policy’ gives reflections by Dr Joseph Karugia on the rising food prices and the need for proactive and timely policy response mechanisms in Kenya. Comparisons between the regional and global price trends of major food crops - maize, cassava, potatoes, bananas and sorghum - are given. Factors affecting supply and demand for food in East African region are discussed including policy interventions that are necessary to bring down or stabilise the escalating regional price increases and those that are likely to compound the already bad situation.
Shenggen Fan’s Official Notes for his Meeting with Federal Republic of German...Shenggen Fan
According to the document:
- Severe food insecurity persists globally and the economic crisis is worsening the situation, with Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia as major hot spots. Growing challenges like population growth and climate change will make ensuring food security more difficult.
- Commitments made by G8 countries to global agriculture and food security at the L'Aquila Summit in 2010 have not been fully fulfilled, with only 22% of funds disbursed as of 2011. Developing countries are also investing but support from G8 remains critical.
- The G20 must take additional steps to reduce
Evaluation of the Impact of Biofuels on Food PricesFGV Brazil
Evaluation of the Impact of Biofuels on Food Prices - November 2011
At the end of 2008, FGV Projects sponsored a survey to analyze the determining factors behind food prices. Among the main conclusions of the study, it was established that the expansion in the production of biofuels – more precisely ethanol from sugar cane – was not a relevant factor for the rise in food prices observed over the course of the year 2008. What really contributed decisively to the rise in food prices was speculation in the futures markets and an increase in demand at a time when world stockpiles were low.
This publication - specially developed for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and FGV Foundation’s seminar ‘Agribusiness in Brazil: Policies, Experiences and Perspectives” (Paris, November 2011) - updates the earlier work by investigating the causes of price increases.

Food security and armenian gevernment understanding oct08ARMEN MEHRABYAN
The document discusses food security in Armenia, noting that while the government focuses on national food self-sufficiency, internationally food security is defined by income levels and trade, not just production. The government maintains price controls and export bans on cereals to ensure self-sufficiency and affordable bread, but this depresses rural incomes and incentives for farmers. To better ensure food security, the government needs policies that support rural economic development and trade liberalization over production targets and price controls.
- The median sales price for single family homes increased 8.3% year-over-year to $1,760,000, while the median sales price for condos increased 11.1% to $1,300,000.
- New listings were down 37.4% for single family homes and 40.8% for condos compared to the previous year. Pending sales decreased for both single family homes and condos.
- The report provides key housing market metrics for San Francisco for the month of June 2019.
This document discusses food security in Egypt, focusing on the 2008 global food price crisis. It provides background on Egypt's reliance on food imports and subsidies. It then summarizes the causes and effects of the 2008 price spike, including political, social, and nutritional implications. The document also outlines Egypt's policy responses, such as expanding food subsidies, reducing import tariffs, and banning rice exports, and discusses criticisms of targeting and effectiveness.

Dal 2nd International Forum on Food and Nutrition, 30 novembre-1 dicembre 2010, Milano. Childhood obesity in Europe: implications for the future food chain - Philip James
The document summarizes research estimating the lifetime costs of childhood obesity in Northern Ireland. It finds that the total lifetime financial cost is £2.25 billion (€2.53 billion). This cost could be reduced by 15.7% or £353.2 million with a 5% reduction in childhood BMI. Compared to the Republic of Ireland, lifetime costs per person are higher in Northern Ireland due to differences in healthcare systems and discount rates. The research indicates huge future costs of inaction and significant potential savings from modest reductions in childhood obesity.
This document discusses the impact of rising food prices on consumers. It provides data showing increases in the consumer price index (CPI) for various food categories in Malaysia from May 2012 to May 2013. Rising food prices can negatively impact healthy eating habits and increase the cost of living. They reduce consumer loyalty and prompt more savvy shopping. The causes of high food prices include poor weather conditions, low stock levels, high petroleum prices, and increased biofuels demand. The government responses include maintaining ceiling retail prices for rice and increasing subsidies and production of basic foodstuffs.
Presentation by Olivier Ecker at the event: “Tackling food security and nutrition in Egypt: challenges and opportunities” Launch of the findings from the Household, Income, Expenditure and Consumption Survey , Tuesday 21 May in Cairo, Egypt.
Engel's law states that as household income rises, the proportion of income spent on food decreases. The document analyzes Engel's law by comparing GDP and consumption in India from 1990 to 2007. It finds that as real GDP per capita increased from $1,509 in 1990 to $4,100 in 2007, the share of consumption in real GDP fell from 57.6% to 51.4%, supporting Engel's law. A regression analysis yielded an R-squared value of 0.8788, indicating Engel's law is valid in explaining consumption patterns in the Indian economy.

As part of the IFPRI Egypt Seminar in partnership with the National Nutrition Committee: "the 100 million healthy lives initiative: Food availability, access and consumption patterns in Egypt"
NCDs such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory disease, and diabetes are a major global health problem, causing over 60% of deaths worldwide. While often viewed as problems of wealthy nations, over 80% of NCD deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. WHO recommends policies like restricting tobacco and alcohol marketing, reducing salt intake, and promoting physical activity and healthy diets to address common NCD risk factors. However, addressing NCDs requires moving beyond a production-focused paradigm to a more holistic approach considering cultural, social, and economic factors across food systems.
The document discusses several environmental factors that contribute to obesity, including increased availability and consumption of high-fat, energy-dense foods and large portion sizes. It also notes decreased physical activity at work and in daily life due to more sedentary behaviors like TV watching. Additional factors mentioned are nutrition changes like eating out more often, especially at fast food restaurants, and industry marketing of unhealthy foods.
This document summarizes a study on the impact of rising food prices on household food security in Oman. It finds that:
1) Food prices in Oman increased substantially between 2003-2008, with the cost of the nutritionally adequate diet rising over 30% in that period.
2) Measures of food insecurity, such as the food security headcount and gap, revealed that rising prices decreased food security in Oman in the short-run.
3) However, in the long-run food security has improved due to increased incomes and a more equal distribution of income, according to the study's decomposition analysis. Continued pro-poor economic policies are recommended to further strengthen food security.
Franco Sassi: Obesity and the Economics of PreventionTHL
1. Childhood obesity is a major health challenge in Europe, affecting 21% of children, with rates up to 2.5 times higher among disadvantaged children.
2. Prevention strategies can improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs, though interventions targeting children may take many years to produce effects.
3. A multi-pronged approach combining initiatives across different groups through multi-stakeholder collaboration may be most effective in addressing obesity.

The consumer price index for Sint Maarten decreased 0.1% in June 2013 compared to April 2013. While prices decreased slightly month-to-month, annual inflation remained steady at 2.7% when comparing prices from June 2012 to June 2013. Most expenditure categories saw price increases over the past year, with the largest increase in food prices at 7.4%.

This document discusses lengths of diagnosis-specific sickness absence as predictors of diagnosis-specific disability retirement in different socio-economic groups in Finland. It finds that longer sickness absence predicts higher risk of disability retirement, and this relationship varies by diagnosis and socio-economic group. Specifically, those with mental health disorders or musculoskeletal diseases have higher rates of both sickness absence and disability retirement. Further, those in lower socio-economic groups generally have higher rates of disability retirement. The study uses Finnish register data to analyze how the probability of transitioning from sickness absence to disability retirement changes as the number of sickness absence days accumulates, and how this varies between socio-economic groups.

Gender Levers at the State-Market Nexus: Bringing Organizations Back InTITA research
The document discusses gender equality within the context of social investment strategies in the EU. It makes three key points:
1) Social investment strategies that focus on increasing individual human capital do not necessarily promote gender equality, as they do not address how organizations sort women and men into different jobs and reward structures.
2) EU gender equality objectives for 2016-2019 emphasize increasing women's participation but do not adequately address organizational factors like occupational sorting that contribute to economic inequalities.
3) Future strategies would benefit from greater focus on positive discrimination policies and analyses of how organizational factors magnify or minimize gender inequalities using new linked employee-employer data.

Unemployment and sickness absence are predictors of disability retirement. This study compared the predictive power of unemployment versus sickness absence on disability retirement in Finland. It found that both increasing lengths of unemployment and sickness absence predicted higher risks of disability retirement, with sickness absence being a slightly stronger predictor. Unemployment was found to predict disability retirement risk, especially for mental health conditions. The study concluded that preventive efforts should target the long-term unemployed to address gradual losses of work ability early.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

in Time of Austerity
3. The share of disposable income spent on food has decreased
significantly during the past decades in Finland. The disparities
between the income groups have consequently diminished.
Still, the dietary patterns and grocery consumption expenditure
vary greatly across socio-economic determinants
Several disadvantages are reflected through poor diet choices
Only few studies assess several socio-economic position
indicators simultaneously
Previous research shows mixed results: a) low income directs
towards cheaper calories, b) high education directs towards
healthier options, c) the diet choices are a cumulative effect of
both income level and education level. (Roos et al. 1996; Galobardes et al.
2001;Giskes et al. 2002; Monsivais & Drewnowski 2009)
The mechanisms for this behaviour have not been established,

5. Combination of education and income has varying
effects: educated group with lower income tend to
emphasis lighter diet (more fruit, veggies and less
fat); high income groups with lesser education
consume more meat and fish. For sugary groceries
the higher education groups consume same share
independent of income level, whereas for lower
education groups income is significant factor (neg.
correlation) (Lindblom & Sarpila 2014)
8. How are the household’s grocery expenditure shares
patterned according socio-economic determinants?
Esp. such grocery categories that can be perceived
either healthy or unhealthy, such as vegetables and fruit
on one hand, and sugar on the other hand, or socially
prestigious, such as meat
How have the consumption expenditure shares (CES)
of these categories developed during the past 30
years in Finland?
What kind of disparities can be found among the
income (and other socio-economic) groups in terms
of their grocery consumption shares ?

25. Sugar not the determinant for lower classes, rather
the absence of healthy foods (veggies, fruit)
Meat still clearly for the upper income grops, but also
for lower education groups. Q5 has diminished meat
consumption share; Q1 and Q3 have fluctuated but
now at the 1985 level
Determing the price level for studied categories
proved difficult. Only rough estimates were used.
Prices for meat products have in general increased
within the past 10 years. Same with the sweets.
Veggies, fruit and berries have become cheaper.
Conclusions
26. Individuals?
Household level determinants a challenge when explaining
effects
Total costs of food?
Low amount of money spent on food is associated with poor
quality diets and is tied with economic constraints (e.g. Darmon et al.
2003)
Amount
Expenditure share (euros) does not totally capture the balance of
healthy and unhealthy amounts consumed in one’s diet
Access?
People (esp. lower SES) living in areas with less supply of healthy food
options tend to follow more unhealthy diets (e.g. Ball et al. 2009)
Gender?
Many studies verify the impact of gender for food choices (e.g.
Purhonen & Gronow 2014)
