    (Academic Press Inc., 2006-08-01) Lyu L-C, Ya-Ping Yu Y-P, Jung-Sheng Lee J-S, Lin J-H, Wang H-I
    The main purpose of this study is to examine food consumption and food security issues for families in urbanized Taiwan using household interviews (n=240), and to collect dietary information from each family member (n=882) using 24-h recalls and Chinese food frequency questionnaires (CFFQ). We developed a local food composition table suitable for families with children and intend to explore the possible nutritional risk and needs for low-income families (n=30) compared to middle-income families (n=210). The average frequency of shopping for food was 3 times per week, and the most influential persons for family food intake were mothers (46%) and children (26%). The low-income families had more frequent food security worries than middle-income families (72 versus 10 times/year, respectively) and provided significantly fewer dairy products, fruits and fish in daily meals. From 24-h recalls, parents had significantly higher alcohol intake in low-income families than middle-income families. From CFFQ, fathers had consistently strong associations for calcium and iron with daughters (r=0.34, 0.30) and sons (r=0.28, 0.30); however mothers had strong associations for vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 with daughters (r=0.21, 0.24) and sons (r=0.25, 0.27). Issues of food insecurity and disadvantages in nutrient consumption are of concern for low-income families in urbanized Taiwan.

    台灣糧食安全政策之研究
    (2012) 李慈宜; LI TZU YI
    隨著全球化的進程，軍事力量不再是世界各國矚目的重要焦點，現今全球重視非傳統安全的各方面問題遠高於傳統安全問題，糧食安全問題即是屬於非傳統安全之一環。特別在2008年糧食危機爆發後，糧食安全更是各國積極加強其安全度及預防危機的焦點。 台灣現今的糧食綜合自給率約在32%左右，主食稻米維持在90%上下，其他重要穀類如：小麥、玉米和大豆自給率都僅在2%以下。與歐美日韓國家相比，自給率偏低很多，甚至有逐年下降之趨勢。雖然政府正朝提高自給率之政策進行，但台灣內部的農業狀況面臨了許多困境必須有所調整才能提高自給率以加強我國糧食安全。 本研究是以非傳統安全中的糧食安全概念為主軸來貫串全文，並且探討2008年全球糧食危機發生的原因，以及在糧食市場不穩定的大環境下台灣農業概況為何，農業糧食政策面臨了哪些困境，政策該朝哪方面進行修正與調整，皆為本文探討之要點。
