“…This equation broadly aligns with the method presented by Jarvis (1974) , Li et al (2018) and Hennessy and Marsh (2021) for estimating value using the market value of live animals and outputs that they generate. Yet, this approach includes the risk of double counting the present (potential) future output value as part of a farmed animal’s current asset market value.…”

“…Our study contributes to growing research on control of endemic, transboundary diseases by adding empirical evidence on disease impacts across households and local markets ( 31 ). Access to unique data on household and market activities from before and during FMD outbreaks in Uganda and Tanzania allowed us to identity FMD virus infection as influencing household production directly and household consumption indirectly.…”

IntroductionFoot-and–mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease that is endemic in East Africa. FMD virus infection incurs significant control costs and reduces animal productivity through weight loss, lowered milk yield, and potentially death but how household’s respond to these losses may differentially affect household income and food consumption.MethodologyTo address this, we use unique data from a FMD outbreak to assess how household production and consumption activities change from before to during the outbreak. Data came from a 2018 survey of 254 households in selected Tanzanian wards and sub-counties in Uganda. The data includes household recall of before and during an outbreak in the past year on livestock and livestock product sales, milk and beef consumption, as well as related changes in market prices. We apply both difference-in-difference and change in difference ordinary least squares regressions with fixed effects to evaluate the impact of FMD on household production and consumption.Results and discussionWe find that households reported the largest reductions in livestock and livestock product sales, followed by reduced milk consumption and animal market prices. The changes in household income from livestock sales appears to be driven by FMD virus infection within the household herd while changes in market prices of substitute protein sources are primary associated with changes in milk and beef consumption. The role of widespread market price effects across both infected and uninfected herds and countries, tends to suggest that stabilizing prices will likely have a large impact on household nutritional security and income generation. We also propose that promoting diversity in market activity may mitigate differing impacts on households in FMD endemic regions.

“…As regulatory efficiency improves, it becomes more important to regulate and improve food company integration ( 63 ). Consequently, the establishment of a dynamic food safety regulatory system will assist the government in tracking and assessing the self-regulatory behavior of food safety companies, as well as in timely adjusting regulatory strategies, improving regulatory efficiency ( 64 ).…”

Food safety has received unprecedented attention since the COVID-19 outbreak. Exploring food safety regulatory mechanisms in the context of cluster public crises is critical for COVID-19 prevention and control. As a result, using data from a food safety regulation survey in the Bei-jing-Tianjin-Hebei urban cluster, this paper investigates the impact of food safety regulation on the prevention and control of COVID-19. The study found that food safety regulation and cluster public crisis prevention and control have a significant positive relationship, with the ability to integrate regulatory resources acting as a mediator between the two. Second, industry groups argue that the relationship between regulatory efficiency and regulatory resource integration should be moderated in a positive manner. Finally, industry association support positively moderates the mediating role of regulatory re-source integration capacity between food safety regulatory efficiency and cluster public crises, and there is a mediating effect of being moderated. Our findings shed light on the mechanisms underlying the roles of regulatory efficiency, resource integration capacity, and industry association support in food safety, and they serve as a useful benchmark for further improving food safety regulations during the COVID-19 outbreak.
