How many countries can feed their own population with a healthy and sustainable diet on their own? How many are vulnerable to breaks in supply - whether from war, natural disasters or trade problems?

Forschende haben untersucht, inwieweit 186 Länder ihre Bevölkerung allein durch die eigene Produktion versorgen können. Das Fazit: Internationaler Handel und Zusammenarbeit sind für eine gesunde und nachhaltige Ernährung unerlässlich.

In our latest paper published in Nature Food, we study self-sufficiency patterns around the globe. We find that 1 in 7 countries is self-sufficient in 5 or more of the 7 food groups analyzed.
Huge thanks to my coauthors, Alexander Vonderschmidt, Sebastian Vollmer, Peter Alexander and Lindsay Jaacks.

654 Millionen Menschen leben in extremer #Armut. Aber wie viele weitere Menschen weltweit können sich keine angemessene Ernährung leisten?

Forschende unserer Uni betonen, dass die derzeitigen Armutsmetriken dies und die langfristigen gesundheitlichen Folgen übersehen:

654 million people live in extreme poverty. But how many more people worldwide cannot afford a basic nutritious diet?

Researchers highlight that current poverty metrics overlook this and the longterm health consequences: www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html...

#FoodPolicy: doi.org/10.1016/j.fo...

Current poverty measurement is designed around actual food consumption of the poorest. In our new paper in Food Policy, Lutz Depenbusch, Sebastian Vollmer, and I integrate least-cost healthy diets into poverty measurement. We present 3 approaches that vary in how non-food costs are considered.

New paper uses lowest-cost healthy diets in each country plus alternative definitions of other basic needs to measure the extent and depth of global poverty.

Great work from @jonasstl.bsky.social & coauthors @unigoettingen.bsky.social, much needed for #TeachEcon #EconSky & #FoodSky
