Spatial and temporal patterns of consumption of animal‐source foods in Tanzania

Abstract: Animal-source foods (ASF) are an important source of nutrients in many developing countries. However, there is limited information on the demand for ASF and the factors influencing their consumption. This study assessed spatial and temporal patterns of ASF consumption in Tanzania using data from a nationally representative household survey. Price and expenditure elasticities of ASF demand were estimated by applying a censored Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) model. Results showed a 30% increase in… Show more

“…Source (HLPE, 2017). Reproduced with permission (Simmance et al, 2021) Though demand is generally recognized as changing in response to a variety of influences such as increased incomes and increased recognitions of nutrient and health benefits of animal-sourced foods driving a shift away from starchy staples (Mayén, Marques-Vidal, Paccaud, Bovet, & Stringhini, 2014;Wang et al, 2021) , investments in improving food systems must also better target the linkages between demand, drivers, and corresponding outcomes. While investment in agricultural development has historically focused on supply-side and production-related advances (Rosegrant et al, 2014), we must complement this perspective to address cross-sectional and temporal dimensions of demandrelated issues from food preference to consumer behavior.…”

“…This differentiation increases when combined with increased incomes, population growth, and urbanization (Thurstan & Roberts, 2014). These drivers are likely to induce dietary shifts away from traditional staples and, depending on income, towards highly processed food or food with high nutrition value, particularly fruits, vegetable, and nuts (EAT, 2019), as well as animal-sourced food (Liverpool-Tasie, Sanou, Reardon, & Belton, 2021;Thurstan & Roberts, 2014;Wang et al, 2021;Wang, Tran, Wilson, Chan, & Dao, 2019). These dietary shifts will have an essential bearing on the evolution and capacities of environmental systems to support food demand in the future (Springmann et al, 2018).…”

“…This study assesses if, and to what extent, increasing the diversity in agricultural production systems could mitigate losses to ecosystem services resulting from livestock-mediated agricultural land expansion. The analysis focuses on Tanzania as an example of a country facing the dual pressure to mitigate environmental stresses while expanding agricultural and livestock production to meet higher local demand for food (Wang et al 2021). Many other developing countries find themselves in this category.…”
