• System dynamics modeling for agricultural and natural resource management issues: Review of some past cases and forecasting future roles (2016, background): “In particular, food production and consumption and partial indicators of food security are often used to deduce implications of future trends [100] or by performing descriptive flow analysis [101].”
• Assessing food value chain pathways, linkages and impacts for better nutrition of vulnerable groups (2017, unknown): “Despite the fact that value chains are evolving in developing countries, and the emergence of industrial-scale food manufacturers and supermarkets, naturally-rich foods that are important sources of micronutrients continue to be accessed primarily through traditional value chains (Gomez and Ricketts”
• Post-green revolution food systems and the triple burden of malnutrition (2013, background): “Gómez and Ricketts (2013) examine how the transformation and expansion of modern FVCs, together with their interactions with the traditional sector, are impacting the triple malnutrition burden.”
• Ultra‐processed products are becoming dominant in the global food system (2013, background): “In lower-income countries and settings, food manufacturing transnationals also work through small retailers (36), and even by hiring door-to-door sellers of branded ‘popularly positioned products’ (13).”
• Concepts and critical perspectives for food environment research: A global framework with implications for action in low- and middle-income countries (2018, background): “Evidence suggests that vendors utilizing traditional value chains (such as wet market traders) supply high value foods such as fruits, vegetables and meats at lower prices compared to modern value chain vendors (such as supermarkets) (Gomez and Ricketts, 2013).”
