International audience ; In the past decade, food group dietary diversity indicators (FGIs) have increasingly been used to assess the impact of agriculture on food security or nutrition. Following a structured search strategy and a two-phase screening process, 46 studies investigating associations between agriculture and food security or nutrition through the use of simple FGIs were assessed for how the indicators were constructed and interpreted. Most studies based on individual level FGIs were consistent with published guidance, while many of the studies measuring households' dietary diversity were not, particularly in terms of interpretation of the indicators or of food group classification. Efforts are needed to harmonize the way FGIs are used and interpreted in order to enhance comparability across studies and allow meta-analyses of the association between agriculture and food security or nutrition.

Cet article présente et décrit le contenu d'une base de données construite à partir d'une enquête menée dans le gouvernorat de Sidi-Bouzid, situé dans le centre de la Tunisie. Sur ce territoire en transition, le secteur agricole, qui tient une place prédominante dans l'activité économique, est caractérisé par la diversité de ses exploitations, aussi bien sur le plan organisationnel (main-d'oeuvre familiale ou salariée à dominante féminine) que technique (présence d'infrastructure d'irrigation, de culture sous-abri). Sur le plan des orientations technico-économiques, les cultures arboricoles et maraîchères se développent quand d'autres cultures plus traditionnelles persistent (oléiculture, céréaliculture). Des politiques publiques récentes ont également encouragé l'élevage laitier. Berceau de la révolution du Jasmin en 2010, Sidi-Bouzid fait face à des difficultés économiques et sociales. Dans ce contexte, l'agriculture a un rôle essentiel pour assurer la sécurité alimentaire de la population. L'objectif de cette enquête était d'identifier les liens existants entre la structure, le fonctionnement et les performances des exploitations agricoles, et la sécurité alimentaire des femmes adultes du territoire. Les revenus individuels des membres du ménage, l'autoconsommation de produits agricoles, et l'autonomie des femmes peuvent aussi jalonner ce chemin d'impact. En effet, le développement du salariat peut permettre aux femmes d'accroître leur autonomie, privilégiant ainsi, à travers la maîtrise de leurs dépenses, leurs besoins alimentaires et ceux du ménage auquel elles appartiennent. L'enquête est articulée autour de trois questionnaires. Cinq cent soixante-quinze femmes, sélectionnées aléatoirement à partir d'un échantillon représentatif des femmes de 20 à 49 ans du gouvernorat de Sidi-Bouzid, 575 chefs de ménages et 316 chefs d'exploitations ont répondu aux questionnaires. La collecte a été réalisée sur questionnaire papier, en entretien face-à-face en décembre 2015. Les données ont été ensuite saisies et contrôlées sur le logiciel EpiData, avant d'être nettoyées sur le logiciel Stata. Les données sont disponibles sur le lien doi:10.18167/DVN1/LWT7BG.

International audience ; This paper presents and describes the contents of a database built from a survey conducted in central Tunisia in the governorate of Sidi-Bouzid. In this evolving region, the agricultural sector, which occupies a predominant place in economic activity, is characterized by the diversity of its farms, both at the organizational level (family or salaried workforce predominantly female) and technical (presence of irrigation infrastructure, under-cover cultivation). In terms of technical and economic orientations, tree crops and market gardening develop when other more traditional crops persist (olive cultivation, cereal farming). Recent public policies have also encouraged dairy farming. Cradle of the Jasmin revolution in 2010, Sidi-Bouzid faces economic and social difficulties. In this context, agriculture has a key role in ensuring food security for population. The objective of this survey was to identify the links between the structure, functioning and performance of farms and the food security of adult women in the territory. Individual incomes of household members, self-consumption of agricultural products, and women empowerment may also punctuate this impact pathway. Indeed, women's income could increase their autonomy, thus favoring, through the control of their expenditure, their food needs and those of the household to which they belong. The survey is based on three questionnaires. A sample of 575 women, selected from a representative sample of 20 to 49-year-old women from the governorate of Sidi-Bouzid, 575 heads of households and 316 heads of farms responded to the questionnaires. The collection was carried out on a paper questionnaire in face-to-face interview in December 2015. The data were then entered and checked on the EpiData software before being exported and cleaned on the Stata software. data are available in following the link doi:10.18167/DVN1/LWT7BG. ; Cet article présente et décrit le contenu d'une base de données construite à partir d'une enquête menée dans le gouvernorat de Sidi-Bouzid, situé dans le centre de la Tunisie.

Cet article examine les changements de la consommation alimentaire et de l'état nutritionnel des populations urbaines au Vietnam. La comparaison porte sur deux périodes, avant et après l'adoption de la politique de libéralisation de l'économie vietnamienne (Doi moi), à la fin des années 1980. Il apparaît qu'avant le Doi moi, les urbains avaient, comme les ruraux, un régime alimentaire pauvre en énergie. L'alimentation des citadins était cependant plus diversifiée que celle des ruraux, accordant plus de place aux produits d'origine animale et moins au riz. Après le Doi moi, ces tendances se sont confirmées et la consommation de sucre, de blé, et de produits transformés s'est développée au détriment de la consommation de tubercules. Cette période est également marquée par une plus grande disponibilité des aliments, désormais en vente libre, et surtout par le développement de la consommation de rue en milieu urbain. L'état nutritionnel des populations s'améliore globalement tandis qu'apparaissent en ville des problèmes de surpoids dans certaines catégories sociales. La plupart des enquêtes montrent cependant une faible augmentation de la valeur énergétique des rations des urbains, mais elles n'appréhendent pas correctement jusqu'ici la consommation hors domicile. Ces évolutions posent de nouvelles questions tant en termes méthodologiques (évaluation de la consommation hors domicile) que de santé publique (augmentation possible à l'avenir des maladies chroniques liées à l'alimentation).

International audience ; Mediterranean countries are undergoing dietary and nutritional changes that affect their inhabitants' health, while facing massive environmental challenges. The increasing demand of water in agriculture, the capacity to maintain local food production, and the growing dependence on food imports are interconnected issues that must be addressed to ensure food security and nutrition in the Mediterranean region. Here, we present the conceptual framework and methodologies developed by the MEDINA-Study Group for rethinking food systems toward sustainable consumption and production modes. Based on its multidisciplinary expertise, the MEDINA-Study Group designed a " fork-to-farm " multi-scale approach, stemming from current dietary habits and examining how some options to nutritionally improve these habits might affect the food systems. This approach was developed for research activities in the South of France and Tunisia, two areas with very different diet-agriculture-environment nexus. The conceptual framework is based on the analysis of elements of the food systems (from consumption to production) at different levels (individual, household, regional and national levels). The methods include: (i) modeling options of dietary changes at different scales, in order to nutritionally optimize food consumption-production without increasing the environmental impact, (ii) translating the best-choice changes into possible policy actions, (iii) testing the acceptability and feasibility of these actions with several stakeholders, and (iv) producing guidelines for sustainable food choices and production. The MEDINA-Study Group identified additional issues that could be included in a future framework to help designing ambitious agricultural, food and health policies in the Mediterranean region.
