Affordability Of Healthy And Sustainable Diets In Nigeria

Di: Ava

Rome – Today, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has made publicly available country-by-country indicators on healthy diets that show their cost – including by food group – and the number of individuals unable to afford them. The data serves as a reminder that even if the world has made progress towards providing enough calories to feed How do we assess the cost and affordability of healthy diets? This report presents the results of surveys conducted in October 2021 to collect prices of foods and drinks in eight stores in remote communities on the APY Lands. This information can help communities, health and store committees, service providers and others to identify what can be done to improve diets and KEY MESSAGES Healthy diets that provide a range of safe and nutritious foods are not yet affordable for much of the world’s population, especially in South Asia and Africa. The cost of a healthy diet is defined as the least expen-sive combination of locally available items that meet a food-based dietary guideline. This metric, which is relatively new, indicates that between 2 and

Governments around the world collect food price data on a frequent basis, often monthly, for the purpose of monitoring inflation. These routine economic data can be used with a nutrition-sensitive lens for understanding economic access to a healthy diet. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has adopted the cost and affordability of a healthy diet

Healthy and sustainable diets for Nigeria population is predicated upon sustainable food systems from farm to fork, within the context of side-by Our focus on the cost and affordability of a nutritious diet is made possible by matching food items to their nutrient composition and solving for the least-cost diet to meet nutritional needs, allowing for substitution among the items actually available in each country. Achieving healthy, sustainable, and equitable diets is the defining challenge for 21st-century food systems. Several decades of research have helped to understand the trade-offs between the different dimensions of diet sustainability, and to identify pathways to more sustainable food production processes and more desirable food choices.

AbstractThis study examines the relationships between healthy diets’ affordability and food systems performance across Nigerian states. On a composite index (FSI) constructed from key food system components, states in the southern zones perform relatively better than those in the north, whereas a higher share of households who cannot afford a healthy diet was from These routine economic data can be used with a nutrition-sensitive lens for understanding economic access to a healthy diet. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has adopted the cost and affordability of a healthy diet (CoAHD) for annual tracking alongside other food security indicators.

Future research should continue to refine models with real-world data and explore innovative interventions that harmonize health, sustainability, and affordability in diverse contexts. Subject of Research: Transitioning to healthy and sustainable diets and the associated environmental and economic trade-offs in emerging and

Indicators and data inputs The CoAHD refers to the minimum cost of purchasing a healthy diet in the market, defined as a diet that adheres to food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG), and the number and percent of people who cannot afford it. The FBDG are designed to promote healthy eating habits and prevent diet-related chronic diseases.

The cost and affordability of healthy diets are estimated for five sub-Saharan countries (Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Mali, Nigeria and Senegal), building on our earlier research on variations in the cost and affordability of a healthy diet along the rural-urban continuum (Holleman and Latino, 2023). Diet quality is a critical link between food security and nutrition. Poor diet quality can lead to different forms of malnutrition, including undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, overweight and obesity. 3,15 The 2020 edition of this report included, for the first time, global estimates of the cost and affordability of a healthy diet. These are useful indicators of economic access to

LINKS TO PREVIOUS AND RELATED WORK The diet cost and affordability metrics developed by the Food Prices for Nutrition project build on a long tradition of other work on food prices and nutrition, applied to global monitoring of food environments as called for by Herforth (2015) and Herforth and Ahmed (2015) among others. We use nutritional requirements This entry examines healthy and sustainable diets, the affordability of healthy diets, the current state of food systems, and how they can be improved upon to make them more sustainable. Implications of healthy and sustainable diets for achieving SDG 2 are also discussed.

This study examines the cost and affordability of healthy diets in Nigeria. Using the 2015/16 and 2018/19 waves of Nigeria General Household Surveys, we find that, generally, the least-cost options to meet dietary recommendations for vegetables, dairy, and protein-rich foods are more expensive to meet than that of other food groups. Despite improvements during

Food affordability is an important determinant of food choice and access, driving dietary patterns, nutrition status and overall health and The cost of a healthy diet in Nigeria has climbed sharply, with the average Cost of a Healthy Diet (CoHD) reaching N1,346 per adult per day in September 2024, according to the latest report from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). This marks a 7.3 percent increase compared to August’s CoHD of N1,255, highlighting the financial strain faced by Nigerians attempting to maintain a This study examines the relationships between healthy diets’ affordability and food systems performance across Nigerian states. On a composite index (FSI) constructed from key food system components, states in the southern zones perform relatively better than those in the north, whereas a higher share of households who cannot afford a healthy diet was from northern

To assess the cost, cost differential and affordability of current and recommended (healthy, equitable, culturally acceptable and more sustainable) diets in the Torres Strait Islands and compare with other Queensland locations. Although FD2 diets are the least expensive, the affordability analysis shows that even these diets require almost 50% of the average income to acquire them. Since fruits and vegetables are the food groups that contribute most to the cost of healthy and sustainable diets, it is important to develop policies to increase the affordability of these food groups. This work suggests that: I The EAT– Lancet Commission drew on all available nutritional and environmental evidence to construct the first global benchmark diet capable of sustaining health and protecting the planet, but it did not assess dietary affordability. We used food price and household income data to estimate affordability of EAT– Lancet benchmark diets, as a first step to guiding

Background and objectives: The cost and affordability of a healthy diet is crucial to understanding whether people can access healthy diets, such as those recommended in national food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG). The objective of this work was to develop a comparable standard of a healthy diet, for the purpose of calculating and comparing the cost and affordability of healthy The cost and affordability of healthy diets are estimated for five sub-Saharan countries (Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Mali, Nigeria and Senegal), building on our earlier research on variations in the cost and affordability of a healthy diet along the rural-urban continuum (Holleman and Latino, 2023).

How do we assess factors influencing food choice? We calculated the cost, relative cost and affordability of current (unhealthy) diets and recommended (healthy, equitable and sustainable) diets, for a family of two adults and two children, using the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Healthy Diets ASAP (Australian Standardised Affordability and Pricing) protocol.4,5 Food National-level estimates of the cost and affordability of a healthy diet support global efforts to track progress across countries towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), particularly SDG 2 (End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture), while the FNG approach provides a country EAT–Lancet Commission’s Planetary Health Diet proposed a diet that integrates nutrition and sustainability considerations, however its affordability is unknown in many country-specific contexts, including Australia.

THE RISING COST OF A HEALTHY DIET IN SOUTHWEST NIGERIA

While the costs and affordability of healthy and nutritious diets have recently been established, little attention has been paid to the economic accessibility of basic nourishment.

Abstract Background: Poor diet is the leading preventable risk factor contributing to the burden of disease globally and in Australia, and is inequitably distributed. As the price of healthy foods is a perceived barrier to improved diets, evidence on the cost and affordability of current (unhealthy) and recommended (healthy, more equitable and sustainable) diets is Abstract Background/aims: EAT-Lancet Commission’s Planetary Health Diet proposed a diet that integrates nutrition and sustainability considerations, however its affordability is unknown in many country-specific contexts, including Australia. The aim of this study is to develop a healthy and sustainable food basket modelled on the Planetary Health Diet to
