“…This result supports the argument that the rich spend a smaller share of their food income on fish than the poor who may allocate a bigger share to fish [10]. Intuitively, an increase in income allows part of the household fish budget to be spent on other goods like beef, goat meat, mutton, and other luxury protein foods, as also reported in a study on Lusaka residents in Zambia [35]. Liu et al [36] note that increase in income led to increase in beef expenditure compared to fish consumption in some provinces in China and increase in teff consumption in Ethiopia [34].…”

This paper assesses fish consumption behaviour and perception of fish food security of low-income households using three season survey data from 839 interviews in Ghana. The study profiles the types of fish consumed and employs a modified Cobb–Douglas function to examine the determinants of household expenditure on fish consumption, whilst adopting a 1–5 Likert scale to analyze the perception of fish food security. The results confirm that poor households prefer cheaper and small pelagic fish. The mean expenditure on fish consumption per week is estimated to be GHS 31.15 (Euro 4.94 ≅ 0.16). Additionally, it is demonstrated that marital status, religion, occupation, proximity to local market, and city of residence have a positive and significant influence, whilst level of income, seasonality of fish, and the interaction of religion and seasonality of fish demonstrate a negative and significant influence on fish expenditure. Finally, the paper reveals that the majority of households have the perception that fish is readily available and can be obtained throughout the year in good quality. However, households have varied opinions on accessibility of fish. The paper recommends that the government should support and enhance the value chains of small pelagic fish species since they are preferred by poor households.

“…The results further shows that the elasticity coefficient of the size of the household with respect to all expenditure items are less than unity. Similar results were obtained by Rehman et al [16] in Pakistan and Sichilima et al [4] in Zambia. In general, the regression results demonstrate that the total household expenditure (used as a proxy of income) and size of the household is an important determinant of expenditures on food.…”

“…In a recent contribution, Sichilima et al [4] employed a double-hurdle model to identify factors that affect household decisions on the level of beef expenditure among Lusaka residents in Zambia. Data for 2585 households from the 2010 Living Conditions Monitoring Survey (LCMS) were used.…”

The study uses double logarithmic analysis to determine the household food demand pattern in urban and rural regions of Zambia for various stratums. The study utilized secondary data for the 2010 Living Conditions Monitoring Survey (LCMS) from Central Statistical Office (CSO), Government of Zambia. The study used a two-stage cluster sampling procedure to collect the data. Cross sectional data for 19,137 households were used in this analysis. The household size and income elasticities are estimated to explain the food consumption trends in Zambia. The results of the study indicate that all the incomes and some household size elasticities positively influenced food expenditure. The food income elasticity is the highest (0.6313) for the non-agricultural stratum in rural areas and the same is the lowest (0.2276) for high cost stratum in urban areas. Similarly, household size elasticity is the highest (0.1174) for the high cost stratum in urban areas and the same is the lowest (0.0647) for low cost stratum in urban areas. The elasticities tend to be higher in rural areas than urban ones. These differences in consumption patterns between rural and urban areas, and among stratums imply that change in consumption patterns in Zambia will be affected not only by aggregate income growth but also by changes in the distribution of that income to foster food security in the households.

İnsanoğlu geçmişte beslenme ihtiyacını karşılamak için çeşitli besinler tüketmiştir. Bu besinler içerisinde et ve et ürünleri önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Et ve et ürünleri protein kaynağı olması sebebiyle günümüzde de vazgeçilmez bir gastronomik ürün olarak tercih edilmektedir. Bu bakımdan yürütülen bu araştırmanın temel amacı, et ve et ürünlerinin tarihi süreçleri hakkında bilgi edinmektir. Amaç doğrultusunda çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemleri içerisinde yer alan doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Ulusal ve uluslararası çalışmalar taranarak et ve et ürünleri tarihi hakkında detaylı bilgiye ulaşılmıştır. Elde edilen bilgiler doğrultusunda ilk olarak tarih boyunca tüketilen etler hakkında genel bir bilgi verilmiştir. Daha sonra et ve et ürünleri kategorize edilerek literatür desteklenmiştir. Kategorisi yapılmış et ve et ürünleri, kasap hayvanları eti, kümes hayvanları eti, deniz ürünleri, av hayvanları eti ve diğer etler ve işlenmiş et ürünleri olarak isimlendirilmiştir. Bu başlıklar altında hangi hayvanların yer aldığı, bu hayvanların evcilleştirilmeye başlandığı yerler, nasıl yayıldığı, hangi toplumda nasıl yer tuttuklarına dair bilgilere yer verilmiştir. Araştırma sonucuna göre; kanatlı hayvanlardan ilk evcilleştirilen türün kaz, küçükbaş hayvanlardan ilk evcilleştirilen türün keçi, büyükbaş hayvanlardan ilk evcilleştirilen türün deve ve tarihsel süreçte ilk tüketilen et ürünleri arasında sakatatın yer aldığı saptanmıştır.
