Abstract

We study the effect of conflict in Nepal on dietary diversity as proxied by food consumption scores (FCS). By comparing pre-violence and peak-violence data and using household fixed effects to address selection into violence, we find that a 100 percent increase in local intensity of violence decreases household FCS by 3 percent. Despite an increase in the diversity of household food production, this is more than offset by the decrease in the diversity of purchased food. These endogenous responses provide potential avenues for policy responses and may be the origins of the oft-reported health shortcoming of exposed populations, particularly children.

冲突与营养:尼泊尔的内源性饮食反应

我们研究了尼泊尔冲突对食物消费分数(FCS)所代表的饮食多样性的影响。通过比较暴力前和暴力高峰期的数据，并使用家庭固定效应来解决暴力选择问题，我们发现，当地暴力强度增加100%，家庭FCS就会降低3%。尽管家庭粮食生产的多样性有所增加，但这被购买粮食多样性的减少所抵消。这些内生反应为政策反应提供了潜在途径，并可能是经常报告的暴露人群，特别是儿童健康缺陷的根源。

期刊介绍： Food Security is a wide audience, interdisciplinary, international journal dedicated to the procurement, access (economic and physical), and quality of food, in all its dimensions. Scales range from the individual to communities, and to the world food system. We strive to publish high-quality scientific articles, where quality includes, but is not limited to, the quality and clarity of text, and the validity of methods and approaches. Food Security is the initiative of a distinguished international group of scientists from different disciplines who hold a deep concern for the challenge of global food security, together with a vision of the power of shared knowledge as a means of meeting that challenge. To address the challenge of global food security, the journal seeks to address the constraints - physical, biological and socio-economic - which not only limit food production but also the ability of people to access a healthy diet. From this perspective, the journal covers the following areas: Global food needs: the mismatch between population and the ability to provide adequate nutrition Global food potential and global food production Natural constraints to satisfying global food needs: § Climate, climate variability, and climate change § Desertification and flooding § Natural disasters § Soils, soil quality and threats to soils, edaphic and other abiotic constraints to production § Biotic constraints to production, pathogens, pests, and weeds in their effects on sustainable production The sociological contexts of food production, access, quality, and consumption. Nutrition, food quality and food safety. Socio-political factors that impinge on the ability to satisfy global food needs: § Land, agricultural and food policy § International relations and trade § Access to food § Financial policy § Wars and ethnic unrest Research policies and priorities to ensure food security in its various dimensions.
