Tóm tắt

Sự đô thị hóa nhanh chóng và chuyển đổi hệ thống lương thực tại châu Phi đã đi kèm với việc gia tăng thiếu an ninh lương thực, giảm sự đa dạng trong chế độ ăn uống và dịch bệnh không lây truyền. Trong khi đó, sự đóng góp của thực phẩm hoang dã và bản địa (WIF) cho chất lượng chế độ ăn ở các hộ gia đình nông thôn đã là chủ đề nhận được sự chú ý lâu dài, thì nghiên cứu về tiêu thụ và vai trò của chúng trong các hộ gia đình đô thị lại là một vấn đề mới hơn. Bài báo này cung cấp một nghiên cứu trường hợp về việc tiêu thụ WIF trong hành lang đô thị của miền bắc Namibia, nơi có mối liên hệ chặt chẽ với các vùng nông thôn xung quanh. Phương pháp nghiên cứu bao gồm khảo sát an ninh lương thực hộ gia đình đại diện cho 851 hộ gia đình đô thị thông qua máy tính bảng và ODK Collect. Các phương pháp phân tích dữ liệu chủ chốt bao gồm thống kê mô tả và hồi quy logistic thứ tự. Các phát hiện chính của phân tích cho thấy rằng WIF được tiêu thụ bởi hầu hết các hộ gia đình, nhưng với tần suất khác nhau rõ rệt. Những người tiêu thụ WIF thường xuyên có nhiều khả năng là các hộ gia đình tập trung vào phụ nữ, thuộc nhóm thu nhập thấp nhất và có mức độ nghèo đói hiện hữu cao nhất. Việc tiêu thụ thường xuyên không liên quan đến an ninh lương thực, nhưng lại cao hơn ở những hộ gia đình có sự đa dạng chế độ ăn thấp. Những người tiêu thụ ít hoặc thỉnh thoảng thường là các hộ gia đình có thu nhập cao, với mức độ nghèo đói hiện hữu thấp và có mức độ an ninh lương thực cao hơn. Chúng tôi kết luận rằng những người tiêu thụ thường xuyên sử dụng WIF để đa dạng hóa chế độ ăn của họ, trong khi những người tiêu thụ thỉnh thoảng ăn WIF chủ yếu vì lý do sở thích văn hóa và khẩu vị hơn là nhu cầu thiết yếu. Các khuyến nghị cho nghiên cứu trong tương lai bao gồm bản chất của chuỗi cung ứng đưa WIF đến tay người tiêu dùng đô thị, tiêu thụ WIF trong nội bộ hộ gia đình, và các cuộc phỏng vấn sâu về lý do tiêu thụ WIF của hộ gia đình cũng như sở thích đối với những loại thực phẩm hoang dã nhất định.
