2018-01-01T00:00:00ZDietary habits and nutritional status among school children in rural and urban areas: A comparative study from Bogor, Indonesia
https://kobra.uni-kassel.de:443/handle/123456789/11039
When Indonesia was combating child undernutrition, overnutrition emerged which made the situation more complex. In fact, dwelling area like rural versus urban is one of the direct determi- nants which play a big role in shaping dietary habits and nutritional status in population. However, there is a lack of data that shows dieteray habits between urban and rural areas in Indonesia. This study aims to compare the dietary habits and nutritional status between children living in urban and rural areas in Bogor. This study was conducted using the cross sectional method with 77 urban and 65 rural children aged 9-12 years old in Bogor. Nutritional status was assessed by anthropometric measurements, i.e height for age Z-score and IMT for age Z-score. Dietary habit data were obtained by interviewing subjects using validated questionnaire and 3x24 hours food recall. The results showed that urban children had greater risk of being overweight and children living in rural areas had higher risk of being stunted. Children in urban areas showed better dietary habits indicated by greater number of children with regular consumption of breakfast, meat, dairy, and fruits. In conclusion, each area in Bogor showed different malnutrition issue, where higher incident stunting was found in rural area and higher incident of overweight was found in urban area. Therefore, different intervention seems urgent to be elaborated to alleviate the dual malnutrition among children.

Egypt agriculture is facing a great joint challenge of ensuring food security and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions under climate change. Characterizing the carbon footprints of crop production by life cycle analysis is be critical for identifying the key measures to mitigate greenhouse gas emission while sustaining crop productivity in the near future. Agriculture contributes a significant share of greenhouse gas emissions and concurrently represents a carbon dioxide (CO2) sink; it thus has two fold opposing impacts on climate change. The carbon footprint of agricultural products is one of main measures for monitoring the efficiency and sustainability of agricultural productivity processes. Studies on the sustainability of crop production systems should consider both the footprint and the crop yield. In this study, 10-years of wheat and corn cultivated area and yield were used from the statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation. Egypt is divided into four regions; Delta, Middle, and Upper Egypt and lands outside the Nile Valley to estimate greenhouse gas emission. The greenhouse gas emission estimated from different sources Nitrous oxide N2O (synthetic fertilizers, manure fertilizer and crop residues) and carbon dioxide from fuel consumption (operation machinery and water pump) for both crops wheat and corn. The results indicated that synthetic fertilizer had the highest greenhouse gas emission 47.2 and 45.5% for wheat and corn, respectively. The manure fertilizer presented the second source of greenhouse gas emission 35.4 and 33% for wheat and corn. The lowest emissions were released from the fuel consumption (4.4 and 4.8%) for wheat and corn, respectively. The carbon footprint for wheat was 0.239 and 0.307 kg CO2eq /kg grain yield for corn.

https://kobra.uni-kassel.de:443/handle/123456789/11037
Sustainable rural development involves the attainment of a balanced development of the economic, ecological and social spheres within a community. For this purpose, the state agrarian policy should be aimed at achieving three goals: 1) food security of the state; 2) solving of social and environmental problems in rural areas; and, 3) the transformation of the agrarian sector into a highly effective, competitive domestic and foreign market economy sector of the state. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to study the legal framework for the sustainable rural development of Ukraine by analyzing the state agricultural policy in this area.
