Purpose
Beef, sheep and goat food systems are thought to be important sources of pathogens in Nairobi. This study aimed to use value chain (VC) analysis to investigate food safety and zoonotic risk practices of these systems.
Methods
VC analysis is commonly used to assess market structures yet it...

Introduction: Adequate and balanced nutrition is key for poverty reduction, maternal and child
health and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Malnutrition, particularly
micronutrient deficiencies, can be alleviated with nutrient-dense animal-source foods (1). In Nairobi,
Kenya, ...

Purpose
Overcrowded cities in developing countries present challenging environments for health, where zoonoses and food safety are difficult to control. Whilst animal source foods (ASF) have a well-recognized role in nutrition of vulnerable populations, their availability, safety and quality are ...

Livestock keeping in urban areas is a source of livelihoods for poor urban families, but it also poses public health challenges.
Purpose
This included mapping of value chains for products from commercial layers (CL) and indigenous layers (IL) kept in peri-urban areas of Nairobi City, prioritizati...

Purpose:
Research on livestock food systems in developing countries remains limited, yet this context needs to
be understood to investigate the epidemiology of zoonoses. The aim of this study was to use a value
chain framework to characterize the broiler and indigenous chicken meat systems of Nai...

In Nairobi, with 3.1 million consumers and 30,000 pigs, the pork system may represents a major source of zoonotic pathogens. Yet, this system and its public health risks have not been described. The study used value chain analysis, a well-known method in economics, to investigate zoonosis and foo...
