Resumo(s)
Food/nutrition is considered, nowadays, inseperatable from development
issues, especially in countries such as Cape Verde with deficient food supply to
a growing population.
Food/nutrition (Food security) in the country is a major concern in political
terms. This situation reflects the concern on food needs supply very dependent
from imports to satisfy its needs.
The present essay´s goal is the study of food habits and behaviour of
consumers in Cape Verde (island of Santiago). This country has reached the
second level of development (Medium Development) but continues with a
large percentage of its population living in poverty conditions, which has
reflection on the levels of access to nourishment and nutritional consumption
of the population.
The essay was based on data (referred to in various bibliographic entries),
supported by different sources and with the use of inquiries and interviews to
obtain comparative data. The results obtained reveal the changing food
habits, and consumer behaviour shortage and nutritional problems.
Through the antropomethric analyses and the results obtained, one concludes
the existence of nutritional problems. The bigger the household, the more
vulnerable it is. This study has also allowed to point out problems in children.
Obesity affects around 11% of children and mal-nutrition arround
5 %.
Using econometric models, it is proved that nourishment (caloric intake) is
proportional to income and that the level of education of the members of the
household is extremely important in the family consumption patterns.
One concludes that there are traditional products (corn and rice) which
consumption will tend to decrease with the raise of the available income
growth. This improvement on available income is reflected in a more diverse
diet and changes on consumption patterns.
Food is still an important
component on family budget. The models show that education is the most
important variable to explain food patterns consumption and also show the
possibilities tto improve food consumption choices to achieve a better quality
of life.
