Netherlands is country with most plentiful, healthy food: Oxfam

The Netherlands nudged past France and Switzerland as the country with the most nutritious, plentiful and healthy food, while the United States and Japan failed to make it into the top 20, a new ranking released by Oxfam on Tuesday showed.

Chad came in last on the list of 125 nations, behind Ethiopia and Angola, in the food index from the international reli and development organization.

"The Netherlands have created a good market that enables people to get enough to eat. Prices are relatively low and stable and the type of food people are eating is balanced," Deborah Hardoon, a senior researcher at Oxfam who compiled the results, said in an interview.

Oxfam ranked the nations on the availability, quality and affordability of food and dietary health. It also looked at the percentage of underweight children, food diversity and access to clean water, as well as negative health outcomes such as obesity and diabetes.

European countries dominated the top of the ranking but Australia squeezed into the top 12, tying with Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Luxembourg at No. 8.

The United Kingdom failed to make the top 10, tying for the 13th spot, because of the volatility of its food prices compared to other goods, which Oxfam said is on a level with Peru (51), Malta (33) and Kyrgyzstan (65).

African nations, along with Laos (112), Bangladesh (102), Pakistan (97) and India (97), were predominant in the bottom 30 countries.

Although the United States has the most affordable and good quality food, high levels of obesity and diabetes pushed the nation into 21st place in the ranking, tying with Japan, which scored poorly on the relative price of food compared to other goods.

The Netherlands got top marks for its low food prices and diabetes levels, while Chad had the worst score for the cost of food in the country and the number of underweight children - 34 percent. The only countries where food is more expensive are Guinea and the Gambia, which were both at the lower end of the ranking.

Burundi, Yemen, Madagascar and India have the worst rates of nutrition and the most underweight children, according to Oxfam.

Oxfam said the latest figures show 840 million people go hungry every day, despite there being enough food for the hungry. It called for changes in the way food is produced and distributed around the world.

Research suggests that climate change could raise the number of people at risk of hunger by 20 to 50 percent by 2050, according to the group.

周二牛津(jin)饑荒救濟委員會發布的新排名顯示，荷(he)蘭超過法國(guo)和(he)瑞士(shi)，成為食(shi)物最(zui)有營(ying)養、最(zui)豐富和(he)最(zui)健康的國(guo)家，而美國(guo)和(he)日本卻未能擠(ji)進前20名。

該(gai)機構的食(shi)物排名顯示，出現在排行(xing)榜上的125個國(guo)家(jia)(jia)中，非洲(zhou)國(guo)家(jia)(jia)乍得排在最后一名，落(luo)后于埃塞俄比亞(ya)和(he)安哥拉(la)。

匯總這些結(jie)果的牛津(jin)饑荒救濟委員(yuan)會的高級研究(jiu)員(yuan)德(de)伯拉(la)•哈爾(er)頓說：“荷蘭營造了一個良好的市(shi)場，讓人們有足夠的食(shi)(shi)物可(ke)以吃(chi)。食(shi)(shi)物價格(ge)也相(xiang)對低廉和穩定，人們所(suo)持的食(shi)(shi)物種類(lei)也比較平衡(heng)。”

牛津饑(ji)荒救濟委員會從獲得食物(wu)的(de)(de)難易程度(du)、食物(wu)的(de)(de)品質和價(jia)位以(yi)及膳食健康等方面(mian)來(lai)給各個國(guo)家排(pai)名。它還(huan)考慮了體重偏低(di)的(de)(de)兒(er)童比例(li)、食物(wu)的(de)(de)多樣性、獲得清潔水源的(de)(de)難易程度(du)，以(yi)及肥胖(pang)和糖尿病(bing)等負面(mian)健康結(jie)果。

歐洲國家占據排名(ming)前列(lie)(lie)，不過(guo)澳大(da)利亞也成(cheng)功(gong)躋(ji)身前12名(ming)，和愛爾蘭、意大(da)利、葡萄牙和盧森堡(bao)并列(lie)(lie)排在第八名(ming)。

英國未能躋身(shen)前十名(ming)，和其他的(de)(de)國家并排第13名(ming)，因為(wei)英國的(de)(de)食(shi)物價(jia)格(ge)相(xiang)比其他商品浮動太大，牛津(jin)饑荒救(jiu)濟委員(yuan)會說英國食(shi)物價(jia)格(ge)的(de)(de)不穩(wen)定性與(yu)排名(ming)第51的(de)(de)秘(mi)魯、排名(ming)第33的(de)(de)馬爾他和排名(ming)第65的(de)(de)吉(ji)爾吉(ji)斯斯坦持平。

非洲(zhou)國(guo)(guo)家和老撾(112名)、孟(meng)加拉(la)國(guo)(guo)(102名)、巴基斯坦(97名)和印(yin)度(97名)一(yi)起入列排(pai)名最(zui)末的(de)30個國(guo)(guo)家。

盡管美國(guo)的食物價格(ge)(ge)和(he)質量(liang)都是最(zui)好(hao)的，但是美國(guo)肥(fei)胖和(he)糖(tang)尿(niao)病(bing)的高(gao)發率使美國(guo)排在第(di)21名，與日本并排，日本排名不佳是因(yin)為食品價格(ge)(ge)相對其他商品偏(pian)高(gao)。

荷蘭排(pai)(pai)名(ming)居(ju)首是因為食(shi)(shi)物價(jia)格低(di)和糖尿病發病率(lv)低(di)，而(er)乍得排(pai)(pai)名(ming)最低(di)是因為食(shi)(shi)物價(jia)格太(tai)高和體重不(bu)足兒童的數量太(tai)多(占據34%)。唯一食(shi)(shi)品價(jia)格比乍得還高的國(guo)家是幾內(nei)亞(ya)和岡比亞(ya)，這兩個國(guo)家都排(pai)(pai)名(ming)靠后。

排(pai)名指(zhi)出，布隆迪、也門、馬(ma)達(da)加斯加和印度的(de)食物營養價值最低、體重不足的(de)兒童也最多。

牛津饑荒(huang)救濟委員會說，盡管有(you)足夠的(de)食物給窮人吃，但每(mei)(mei)天還是有(you)8.4億人每(mei)(mei)天餓(e)肚(du)子。它呼吁改(gai)變食物生產的(de)方式(shi)和在(zai)全(quan)世界分配(pei)的(de)方式(shi)。

根據(ju)該組織(zhi)，研究表(biao)明(ming)，氣候變化將會(hui)在2050年前使饑餓人群的(de)數量增加(jia)20%到(dao)50%。
