Teresa Corção, chef gastronomique, O’Navigador, Rio de Janeiro - Damien Carême, parrain de l’association Le Recho, maire de Grande-Synthe (59) - Les liens qui unissent plaisir et alimentation sont multiples. Comment le système nerveux analyse-t-il les informations sensorielles ? Le plaisir sensoriel contribue-t-il à une alimentation plus saine ? Comment l’industrie alimentaire développe-t-elle des produits qui parlent à nos sens ? Le plaisir de manger ne vaut-il que s’il est partagé ? Dès lors, comment mieux partager la gastronomie ?

Food swamps predict obesity rates better than food deserts in the United States
3 novembre 2021, par Mathilde COUDRAYThis paper investigates the effect of food environments, characterized as food swamps, on adult obesity rates. Food swamps have been described as areas with a high-density of establishments selling high-calorie fast food and junk food, relative to healthier food options. This study examines multiple ways of categorizing food environments as food swamps and food deserts, including alternate versions of the Retail Food Environment Index. We merged food outlet, sociodemographic and obesity data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Environment Atlas, the American Community Survey, and a commercial street reference dataset. We employed an instrumental variables (IV) strategy to correct for the endogeneity of food environments (i.e., that individuals self-select into neighborhoods and may consider food availability in their decision). Our results suggest that the presence of a food swamp is a stronger predictor of obesity rates than the absence of full-service grocery stores. We found, even after controlling for food desert effects, food swamps have a positive, statistically significant effect on adult obesity rates. All three food swamp measures indicated the same positive association, but reflected different magnitudes of the food swamp effect on rates of adult obesity (p values ranged from 0.00 to 0.16). Our adjustment for reverse causality, using an IV approach, revealed a stronger effect of food swamps than would have been obtained by naïve ordinary least squares (OLS) estimates. The food swamp effect was stronger in counties with greater income inequality (p < 0.05) and where residents are less mobile (p < 0.01). Based on these findings, local government policies such as zoning laws simultaneously restricting access to unhealthy food outlets and incentivizing healthy food retailers to locate in underserved neighborhoods warrant consideration as strategies to increase health equity.

Limited food availability
3 novembre 2021, par Mathilde COUDRAYWhile food security is a major worldwide issue, it is a much more serious problem in Low-Income
(LI) and Lower Middle-Income (LMI) countries. Currently, sub-Saharan Africa is the sub-continent with the highest proportion of undernourished people, the largest gap between current and potential yields, and between cereal consumption and production. Looking to the future, population growth and climate change may worsen the situation, particularly in Africa. African countries are still facing rapid population growth with uncertain prospects about the ability of their agriculture to meet growing food demand. In addition, without sufficient adaptation measures, climate change will negatively impact food production in most African regions. -
N°6/ Plaisirs sensoriels et pleine conscience, les alliés d’une alimentation plus saine
5 décembre 2017, par RoxaneLe thermomètre affiche 30 °C, vous avez soif et vous vous délectez en imaginant boire une limonade bien fraîche. En effet, les mêmes aires du cerveau s’activent que vous la buviez réellement, que vous imaginiez le faire ou que vous observiez quelqu’un d’autre le faire.

Food systems at risk
26 octobre 2021, par Mathilde COUDRAYThe way food systems have evolved over past decades means that they now face major risks, which in turn threaten the future of food systems themselves. Food systems have seriously contributed to climate change, environmental destruction, overexploitation of natural resources and pollution of air, water and soils. Despite the global average improvement in calorie production and major development of the food and agricultural product markets, huge inequalities in food access and repartition of the added value have emerged, leading to new serious nutritional and social problems. Based on a review of the most recent scientific knowledge, this report emphasizes Low-Income and Lower Middle-Income countries where the population faces greater challenges than elsewhere. Different threats are adding up and there are few options to adapt or mitigate these combinations of risks. This is a call for all those - businesses, policy makers, consumers, funding agencies - who are engaged in food systems transformations to bear in mind their systemic aspects and their multiple outcomes and risks in order to be able to fashion more sustainable and equitable food systems.
This report was prepared and coordinated by the Centre de coopération internationale en recherche agronomique pour le développement (CIRAD), and is a joint production with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the European Commission’s Directorate-General for International Cooperation and Development (DG DEVCO). The scientific report hereunder takes stock of the current and future risks and challenges as regards to food systems.

N°8/ Des systèmes agricoles et alimentaires "alternatifs" ?
2 novembre 2018, par Mathilde COUDRAYLa recherche en économie et sociologie rurale rassemble derrière les termes « réseaux agri-alimentaires alternatifs » et « systèmes alimentaires alternatifs » des initiatives aussi diverses que le commerce équitable, l’agriculture biologique, les circuits courts de proximité ou les produits de terroir.
