“…However, data show that some of the most dramatic increases in dairy consumption have taken place among these populations, due to several factors: urban consumers desiring Western commodities; the spread of Western food retail formats pushing cheese-based meals and other novel products; and trade liberalisation being driven by the WTO (Beghin 2006;Dong 2006). Governments concerned about micro-nutrient deficiencies have also contributed to this demand.…”

This article works in a recursive manner by using the tools of a food regime approach to reinterpret the nutrition transition that has been underway internationally for 100 years, and then describing the contributions of nutrition science to the 1st and 2nd Food Regimes and the passages between Food Regimes. The resulting historyfrom the 'imperial calorie' through the 'protective' vitamin to the 'empty calorie'-illuminates a neglected dimension to food regime theorising: the role of socio-technical systems in shaping a set of value relations that are central to class relations. Contestation over one such system, nutritionalisation, currently involves an ungovernable array of actors. In describing the protagonists to the system of nutritionalisation, a classic confrontation emerges between technical and lifeworld rationality. Representing the former approach are actor networks responsible for the 'trade-inhealth' sector which produces foods and nutritional values aimed at both over-nourished and under-nourished populations. Clinging to a lifeworld rationality are 'culture eaters' worldwide, for whom nutrition value relations are secondary to communal and ecological relations. This dynamic appears within wealthier Asian states which are emerging as central to the trade-in-nutritional health sector while acting to protect their own customary dietary practices.

“…The international trade of dairy products has gained a considerable momentum in recent years due to: (i) food trade liberalisation through multilateral and bilateral agreements, (ii) innovations in milk processing and (iii) rising per capita incomes, changing demographics and Westernisation of diets in a number of countries facing natural handicaps in dairy production because of climate and/or land and feed scarcity (Beghin 2005;Dong 2006). The SMP is the third most important, in terms of product weight, internationally traded dairy commodity (after whole milk powder and cheese).…”

The objective of this article is to assess the integration of the international skim milk powder (SMP) market. This is pursued using monthly data over 2001 to 2014 from the three principal SMP-producing regions (the EU, the USA and Oceania) and nonparametric kernel-based and time-varying copulas. The empirical results point to a strong and an increasing degree of overall price co-movement and to statistically significant probabilities for joint price crashes and booms. While the EU and Oceania have been the regions with the highest degree of integration, the USA has been catching up with them.

“…This particularly concerns animal products such as milk and meat (Nin et al 2007), with increasing demand in many emerging countries due to changing nutritional habits and demographic growth (Beghin 2006). In order to fulfil the needs, it is widely accepted that a "livestock revolution" is required to increase the supply of animal products worldwide (Delgado 2003).…”

Supporting small-scale dairy farmers in increasing milk production: evidence from Morocco

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of technical support provided to five small-scale cattle farms in the Tadla irrigation scheme (Morocco) on their milk yield. The first stage consisted of assessing the initial management of dairy herds, especially feeding strategies, and their effects on milk output. This diagnosis revealed major gaps between the existing and the potential milk yield, due to insufficient and imbalanced dietary rations. Based on this diagnosis, technical support was adapted to the reality of each farm by regularly adjusting the dietary rations to the production potential of lactating cows using available feed resources. The production potential of either pure Holstein or crossbred cows was based on the herd's physiological status and its genetic merit. Results showed that milk production could be rapidly improved by balanced dietary rations that enabled the average milk yield of lactating cows to be reached, while optimising feed costs and reducing the cost of milk production. Providing technical support to dairy farms should have a significant impact on overall milk production at different scales (irrigation scheme, plant supply area, national production) while alleviating the poverty of small-scale farmers. It would require the involvement of farmers' organisations such as milk collection co-operatives to replace services provided by the State, which is currently withdrawing from extension activities.
