food safety and nutrition: Context

Kristina Roesel Presented at the PigRisk project outcome mapping and in-depth survey workshop Hanoi, Vietnam, 18 June 2013

Outline

1. Brief recap of ILRI’s value chain work

2. Brief recap on the rapid integrated assessment project

3. Results: rapid assessment of pigs in Uganda

4. In-depth work on questionnaires

Inputs & Services Production Processing Marketing Consumers

Past research has focused specific aspects

of given value chains, commodities and country.

Criticism: Traditional approach was piecemeal with little impact!

CGIAR mandate since ~40 years: agricultural research for poverty alleviation

R4D integrated to transform selected value chains

In targeted commodities and countries.

Value chain development team + research partners

• Launch of CGIAR Research Programs http://www.cgiarfund.org/research_portfolio

• Multi-centre, multi-partner, multi-disciplinary

Since 2012: Focus on integrated value chains for bigger impact . . .

More milk, meat, and fish

by and for the poor

(CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish)

Goal: increasing production/productivity for food security

in 9 selected value chains

PIGS

AQUACULTURE

DAIRY

• 3 components around human nutrition (IFPRI-led)

• 1 component on prevention and control of agricultural associated diseases (ILRI-led) • Food safety • Neglected zoonoses • Emerging infectious diseases • Ecohealth/One Health

• Integrated programs &

harmonized policies

CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health

Since 2012: Value chain assessment

8 Taylor and Rushton (2011)

Rapid integrated assessment of food safety and nutrition:

The generic toolkit

Rapid integrated assessment of food safety and nutrition (RIA)

• June - November 2012 development of a generic set of tools for the integrated assessment of food safety and nutrition in livestock value chains

• Collaboration with Royal Veterinary College (RVC)

• Funded by ACIAR

• Now applied in 6 livestock value chains (4 under Safe Food, Fair Food project)

Objectives:

• To assist rapid integrated assessment of food safety, zoonoses and nutrition in informal livestock value chains as one facet of a comprehensive value chain assessment

• feeds, breeds

• market access

• animal health, food safety/zoonoses/nutrition

• enabling environment

• To report to livestock value chain managers

11

Key outputs:

• Systematic literature review on zoonotic hazards • Situational analysis of enabling environment • Qualitative (rapid) assessment

• knowledge, attitudes, practices and incentives (KAPI)

• Quantitative assessment • prevalence survey of selected hazards

• questionnaire survey with value chain actors

• Identification of critical control points and suggestions for risk mitigation

12

4 phases of RIA:

1. Collection of secondary data

2. Qualitative assessment: participatory appraisals, focus group discussions, key informant interviews

3. Quantitative assessment: questionnaire survey and biological sampling

4. Feedback to communities and stakeholders

Key research questions I/III:

• Food safety • What are the main hazards likely to be present in

the value chain? • What risks do these hazards pose to value chain

actors?

• Food and nutrition security • What is the role of the animal-source food in

question in diets of poor farmers and consumers? • What is the relationship between livestock keeping

and livestock eating?

•

14

Key research questions II/III:

• Combined food safety and nutritional issues • How does nutritional quality and food safety

change along the value chain? • What are the trade-offs? • Are there trade-offs/synergies between feeds

and foods? • How do the different animal-source food value

chains compare in meeting nutrition and food safety needs?

• How is value chain development likely to affect food safety and nutrition?

15

Key research questions III/III:

• Social and gender determinants of health and nutrition • Who gets the nutritional benefits and bears the

risk of animal source foods? • How do gender roles and poverty invluence health

and nutrition risks? • How do cultural practices affect health and

nutrition risks?

• Trends and possible interventions • How (and at which point of the value chain)

could investments enhance consumption of nutrients and decrease health risk?

16

In Uganda and Vietnam, we have completed phase 1 and 2

The quantitative assessment, questionnaire survey (and biological sampling)

• Trader (live pigs/pig products)

• Bulking point (slaughter)

• Retailer

• Consumer

Producer questionnaire, 12 modules:

A. House hold information

B. Maternal dietary diversity

C. Child dietary diversity

D. Animal source food and nutrition
