Poverty, food Prices, and dietary choices in Malawi

In this chapter we analyze Malawi’s recent food consumption trends, including per capita calorie and micronutrient-consumption estimates, and reflect on how these pertain to (1) changes in poverty and household income, and (2) relative changes in food prices.

description In this chapter we analyze Malawi’s recent food consumption trends, including per capita calorie and micronutrient-consumption estimates, and reflect on how these pertain to (1) changes in poverty and household income, and (2) relative changes in food prices. In so doing, we extract from a detailed analysis of household food consumption (Verduzco-Gallo, Ecker, and Pauw 2014) and from an assessment of recent poverty trends (Pauw, Beck, and Mussa 2014). Both these studies draw on the two latest rounds of Malawi’s nationally-representative Integrated Household Surveys (IHS2 and IHS3) collected in 2004–2005 and 2010–2011 (NSO 2005; 2012b).
