英文文献：Problematising the Effect of Rural - Urban Linkages on Food Secutiry and Malnutrition in Guatemala?s Western Highlands-在危地马拉西部高地，城乡联系对粮食安全和营养不良的影响存在问题
英文文献作者：Ioulia Fenton
英文文献摘要：
Strong rural-urban linkages are increasingly seen as key to achieving sustainable livelihoods and food security in developing countries. However, not all linkages are positive and, although this is recognised in literature, few explore their potential unfavorable characteristics. Based on twelve weeks fieldwork in Guatemala this paper aims to contribute in four ways. Firstly, it details the extent of rural-urban linkages in the lives of ordinary Guatemalans, the reasons for their existence and the contribution they make to food security. Secondly, it highlights the existence of rural-urban criminal networks that negatively impact livelihoods and food security. Thirdly, it illustrates how poor quality linkages in government administration and service provision render them ineffective in alleviating food insecurity and malnutrition. Finally, by focusing on the case of Coca-Cola, it illustrates how extensive rural-urban networks of processed food and drink companies bring with them economic benefits, but adversely affect food security and nutrition through a number of mechanisms. The paper concludes that in order to better design policies aimed at improving livelihoods, food security and nutrition, the growth of rural-urban linkages in different spheres of private and public life should be analysed for its negative as well as positive contributions.
强有力的城乡联系日益被视为发展中国家实现可持续生计和粮食安全的关键。然而，并非所有的联系都是积极的，尽管这在文献中得到承认，但很少有人探讨其潜在的不利特征。本文在危地马拉进行了为期12周的实地考察，旨在从四个方面做出贡献。首先，它详细说明了普通危地马拉人生活中城乡联系的程度、他们存在的原因以及他们对粮食安全的贡献。其次，它突出了农村-城市犯罪网络的存在，对生活和粮食安全产生了负面影响。第三，它说明了政府行政和提供服务的质量联系是如何使它们在减轻粮食不安全和营养不良方面无效的。最后，通过关注可口可乐的案例，它说明了如何广泛的城乡网络加工食品和饮料公司带来经济利益，但不利影响食品安全和营养通过一系列机制。该文件的结论是，为了更好地设计旨在改善生计、粮食安全和营养的政策，应该分析私人和公共生活不同领域中城乡联系的增长，看其消极和积极的贡献。
