Food- and feed-based nutrient flows in two West African cities por Karg, H., Akoto-Danso, Edmund K., Drechsel, Pay, Abubakari, A.H., Buerkert, Andreas

“…We therefore examined the linkages between food and animal feed supply, their places of production and nutrient flows through the urban system in the two West African cities of Tamale (Ghana) and Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). Using primary data on food and feed flows, and secondary data to assess the transformation of these flows into nutrient terms, we show that, besides urban consumption, the function of the two study sites as trade hubs significantly determines nutrient flows. …”
