Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption is decreasing nationally, yet intakes remain high in certain sub-populations as new varieties of SSBs are introduced. This study aims to expand on SSB intake patterns among adults living in Appalachia to develop policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) interventions to reduce consumption. Baseline cohort surveys were conducted to examine beverage consumption patterns of adults in one rural Appalachian county in Kentucky using a validated BEVQ-15 instrument. Ages were collapsed into three generational groups – Millennials (22–38 years), Generation X (39–54 years), and Boomers/Silents (≥55 years). Over half (n = 81; 54%) of the sample (n = …
Priority Areas For Action And Research On Pastoralism And Rangelands In Eastern Africa, M. O. Odhiambo
Priority Areas For Action And Research On Pastoralism And Rangelands In Eastern Africa, M. O. Odhiambo
IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)
There is an element of irony around pastoralism and research in Eastern Africa. While it is one of the most researched production and livelihood systems, pastoralism is also the least understood by policymakers and development actors, with discussions about its importance characterized by significant gaps in knowledge. What is more, policy actors have difficulties accessing empirical data specific to pastoralism and rangelands in a form that allows well-founded decision-making on policy and action. Most available data tend to be out of date and not disaggregated with reference to pastoralism and rangelands. As a result, much of the discourse around pastoralism …
Implications Of Herder Attitudes For Stocking Rates In China And Mongolia, Yanting Yin, Ping Li, David R. Kemp
Implications Of Herder Attitudes For Stocking Rates In China And Mongolia, Yanting Yin, Ping Li, David R. Kemp
IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)
Over-grazing of the grasslands in China and Mongolia is a common problem. Herders typically aim to increase their animal numbers to then hopefully, improve their status and incomes. Various studies have shown that stocking rates often need to be halved to restore grasslands to a sustainable state. Governments have been enacting policies to achieve a reduction in stocking rates, especially in China. However, in both countries, herders have freedom to set their own stocking rates. A survey was done of ~900 herders in Inner Mongolia, on the five main grassland types, to define their styles, attitudes and intentions for stocking …
Herders’ Attitude And Decision Making In Stocking Rates And Implication For Grassland Management In China, Ping Li, Rong Zhi, Jeff Bennett, Kejian Lin, Ke Jin
Herders’ Attitude And Decision Making In Stocking Rates And Implication For Grassland Management In China, Ping Li, Rong Zhi, Jeff Bennett, Kejian Lin, Ke Jin
IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)
Overgrazing is widely acknowledged to be the main driver of grassland degradation. Governments seeking to address the grassland degradation problem have therefore focused on policies designed to reduce overgrazing. The Chinese government has implemented a series of policies with the aim of protecting the grasslands from more serious degradation. The efficacy of these policies has been questioned given that, since their introduction, stocking rates have remained high in many affected areas. It has been suggested that the government should enhance grassland monitoring and the punishment of overgrazing. Increasing penalties would reduce stocking rates, however that is likely to cause more …
