“…The varied results of Ca and P levels among HA sojourns could be due to difference in diet followed during each expedition or stays at HA. Soldiers and mountaineers usually maintain their diet at HA through a ration system while natives depend upon local availability of food sources, affected by rocky terrain-leading to reduced agriculture and transport facilities in HA regions [ 27 ]. In our study, LDK had significantly increased serum Ca while non-significant decreased in serum P levels.…”

“…Another observable demographic shift in the region is the growing concentration of the population in towns and cities, leading to rapid urbanisation (Dame et al, 2019;Mukherji et al, 2018), including in the sparsely populated Tibetan Plateau range (Qi & Yi, 2021). Lack of access to basic services such as education and health care as well as economic opportunities are major reasons for the migration of people from rural to urban areas (Dame, 2018;Pathak et al, 2017). Cryospheric change, both slow-onset and extreme events, also contribute to out-migration from the high mountain areas (Prasain, 2018;Rasul & Molden, 2019).…”

“…Often, male members of households migrate outside the village for work purposes, leaving the immobile populations, namely, women, children, and the older generation behind . Multilocality and translocal livelihoods have become an integral part of household livelihood strategies (Benz, 2016;Dame, 2018). But the ability to migrate to towns/ cities or international destination is dependent on the socioeconomic situation of households.…”

Chapter 5 of the Water, ice, society, and ecosystems in the HKH (HI-WISE) assessment report presents the current state of knowledge regarding the impacts of cryospheric change on high mountain societies as well as observed adaptations to associated challenges and the contributions these responses make to sustainable mountain development. Cryospheric change is hitting already marginal and vulnerable mountain peoples hard, and the adverse effects are set to accelerate. Current adaptation approaches have been small-scale and incremental and insufficient to address future needs of communities. Population growth and infrastructure development have exposed communities to increased cryosphere-related hazards and future disasters will be costlier and deadlier.

“…Several studies [9][10][11][12] have made the connection between food security policies relevant to dietary diversity and quality and trade openness. They show that trade openness leads to food security for low-income households, particularly for households who are net food buyers.…”

Food Trade Openness and Enhancement of Food Security—Partial Equilibrium Model Simulations for Selected Countries

This research measured the welfare impacts of food trade liberalization in India, Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) using the partial equilibrium model—World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS). Macroeconomic settings, domestic policy objectives, and food security indicator data are used to assess the implications of the simulations on food availability and stability. Simulation results for India, Egypt, and Pakistan indicate annual welfare gains (consumer surplus) of 2571, 340, and 25 million USD, respectively, while Saudi Arabia and the UAE have gains of 14 and 17 million USD. Results show that tariff elimination would have wide-ranging welfare impacts across food commodities within these countries. Moreover, reductions for specific commodities directly relevant to food energy and protein availability would have a greater direct impact on the poor. Lowering the highest tariffs on those commodities might raise the real incomes of more than 350 million persons by 7.5% or more and could create shifts in consumption towards more diversified and nutritionally sound diets.
