Particularly, it seeks to determine the level of dietary energy consumption (DEC) and other macronutrients intake. In addition, it estimates the Engel ratios and income elasticity of food demand. A sample of about 668 households was selected from Khartoum State to collect the primary data during the year 2017. Primary data was collected through two types of questionnaires, the structured household questionnaire, and the 24-hour food recall questionnaire. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and One-way ANOVA Table. The outcomes prove that income contributes extensively to DEC as well as intakes of protein, carbohydrates, and fat. The households in the lowest income quintile spend a high monetary value to purchase foods when compared with households in other income quintiles. The Engel ratios exhibit that the share of food consumption from the total income for ...

In spite of the efforts have been conducted by the government and NGOs since the last two decades to help vulnerable people still there is a problem of food deficit. Therefore, households are obligated to cope with shortfall in food consumption using various strategies. The paper will present detailed results of this research and evaluate various strategies to cope with food insecurity. It will also describe and measure these coping strategies when households have no access to enough food within and between the seasons. The study was conducted in 2009 in the dry land sector of Western Sudan namely North Kordofan State. Primary data using structured questionnaire administered to 200 rural households selected via multi-stage random sampling technique. Moreover, focus g...

Moreover, the study examines the key role of the livestock sector in poverty reduction in urban regions and develops an analytical tool to aid in urban area poverty mitigation through goats and sheep ownership. Materials and Methods: The study mainly depends on primary data assembled through structured and unstructured questionnaires, which were distributed among the targeted groups in the urban area in Sudan. Poverty line and poverty indices were calculated and measured using various well-known methods. The causes of poverty were estimated using logistic regression, and the effect of small ruminants in poverty alleviation was estimated using multivariate regression analysis. Results: The study findings indicate that both food and income poverty lines are less than the standard poverty line. In addition, the results imply that rural migration and crime predic...
