Global food security in 2050: the role of agricultural productivity and climate change (2014, background): “Shifts in the types of foods consumed, from local towards Western foods, are also expected (Pingali 2007).”
Human appropriation of land for food: The role of diet (2016, background): “Diet is linked with wealth (Tilman et al., 2011), urbanisation (Huang and Bouis, 2001; Seto and 4 Ramankutty, 2016; Wu and Wu, 1997), and globalising food commodity markets (Pingali, 2007; Popkin, 5 2006; Yu et al., 2013).”
Satisfying future water demands for agriculture (2010, background): “As incomes rise, food consumption increases and food preferences adjust toward more nutritious and more diversified diets (Pingali, 2004).”
Impacts of supermarkets on farm household nutrition in Kenya (2015, background): “While recent research has examined how supermarkets may influence dietary habits of urban consumers (Neven et al., 2006; Pingali, 2007; Asfaw, 2008; Tessier et al., 2008), a focus on farm household nutrition is important, too.”
Food value chain transformations in developing countries: Selected hypotheses on nutritional implications (2013, background): “Recent research indicates that income growth, rapid urbanization, increased participation of women in the labor force, and trends toward more ‘westernized’ work schedules in developing countries are increasing the demand for food purchasing options offered by modern supermarkets (Hawkes, 2008; Pinga”
Global Food Security, Contributions from Sustainable Potato Agri-Food Systems (2020, background): “This impressive growth, besides the rising domestic demand because of population growth and the “westernization” of dietary preferences in urban areas (Pingali 2006), can also be attributed to the introduction of several improved high-yielding varieties and the development of cold storage…”
The bumpy road from food to nutrition security – Slow evolution of India's food policy (2017, background): “This is evident in India as empirical studies suggest a dietary transition with consumption demand moving away from staple crops towards a more diversified and higher quality diet (Pingali, 2006).”
Ultra‐processed foods and the nutrition transition: Global, regional and national trends, food systems transformations and political economy drivers (2020, background): “In the United States, the production of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) also increased, with a subsequent 10-fold rise in consumption between 1970 and 1990 to represent >40% and 100% of caloric sweeteners added to foods and beverages, respectively.49 In 1994, tariff reductions mandated under the Nor”

Global urbanization and food production in direct competition for land: Leverage places to mitigate impacts on SDG2 and on the Earth System (2019, background): “In conjunction with demographic changes and expected dietary shifts at the global scale (Pingali, 2007), fluctuating crop yields due to climate change impacts and the pressure on cultivatable land to provide not only food, but also feed, fuel, and fiber, increases competition for land and, therefore”
Global water crisis and future food security in an era of climate change (2010, background): “Due to strong economic growth, millions of people will buy diets far richer in protein – in the cases of China and India, three to five times richer (Pingali, 2007).”
Fisheries in transition: Food and nutrition security implications for the global South (2014, background): “In contrast, for urban dwellers in middle income countries such as China or Thailand, such shifts may be of limited importance given greater access to and consumption of animal products, vegetables and fruits (Pingali, 2006).”
