    National Food Survey The MImstry of AgrIculture's NatIonal Food Survey IS an annual survey of the food consumptIon behaVIOur of a sample of approXImately 7,700 households In each round, 52 local authOrIty dIstrICts are chosen as the first level of a stratIfIed sample, the second level of whIch IS 800 postal sectors These data are used to characterIze the household food expendIture and consumptIOn patterns In each of the Standard RegIOns, and also

  • In London and the Metropohtan Dlstncts It is these macro level statIstics whIch arepubhshed (MInistry of Agnculture, Annual) The raw NFS data IS avaIlable from theESRC Data Archive and IS held at Durham for 1979-89 Further, pre-1979, tlffie-senesdata IS In the flIes of the M A F F but IS confidential and dIfficult of access The N F Sstarted In a different form In 1940 (BaInes, 1991) and the full senes IS a very sIgDlflcantresource

    The NatIOnal Food Survey IS available at the Parhamentary Constituency level until 1983,and thereafter for local authonty dlstncts In the penod 1979-89, 219 constituencIes outof 650 and 156 dlstncts out of 485 were sampled and data recorded In machIne-readableform This affords the researcher a detailed picture of local diet, which can be analysedIn three ways

    a) Food purchases In 348 categones (value and quantity) can be studied agaInst thefollOWIng Independent vanables

    type of area (metropohtanl non metropohtan,density of population),household composItIon,Income,occupatlOnal status,energy expenditure category at work,social class,ownership of dwelhng,welfare benefit status,season

    b) The nutntlOnal content of each household's food purchases can be calculated uSIDgthe Royal Society of ChemIstry's standard composItIon tables, whIch are available IDmachIne readable form This can then be compared WIth the DHSS RecommendedDally Allowances to Judge geographical vanatIons In under/over nutntIon

    c) USIng a simple geographical mformatIon system It IS possible to produce computermaps of both raw and maDlpulated data

    The contract work undertaken was as follows1 The data were supphed by the Data Archive as flat files In SPSSX format onmagnetic tapes The cost of documentation, tape and postage was very reasonable, WIththe M A F F 's royalty, at 50 per annum, the most slgmflcant Item

    2 The IndiVIdual annual data fdes were copied to diSC on the Umverslty of Durham'smaInframe Amdahl5860 computer An Immediate problem encountered was the sheervolume of data Durham's normal resource hmlt of memory IS 500 'pages' of diSC space,with a majOr hmlt of 10,000 pages Each year of NFS data represents 3-4,000 pages andthe full 1979-89 senes therefore totalled 38,500 pages With a full archive back-up(hence a grand total of 77K pages, which equals 0 3Gb), thiS was very substantiallybeyond normal hmlts Durham's computIng environment IS due for a complete changeIn June 1992, with a change from MTS to UNIX

    In London and the Metropohtan Dlstncts It is these macro level statIstics whIch are pubhshed (MInistry of Agnculture, Annual) The raw NFS data IS avadable from the ESRC Data Archive and IS held at Durham for 1979-89 Further, pre-1979, tlffie-senes data IS In the fIles of the M A F F but IS confidentIal and dlff!cult of access The N F S started In a different form In 1940 (Balnes, 1991) and the full senes IS a very slgDlflcant resource

    The NatIOnal Food Survey IS avaIlable at the Parhamentary Constituency level until 1983, and thereafter for local authonty dlstncts In the penod 1979-89, 219 constituenCIes out of 650 and 156 dlstncts out of 485 were sampled and data recorded In machine-readable form This affords the researcher a detailed picture of local diet, which can be analysed m three ways

    a) Food purchases In 348 categories (value and quantity) can be studied against the followmg Independent vanables

    type of area (metropohtan/ non metropohtan, denSity of population), household compOSItion, Income, occupatlOnal status, energy expenditure category at work, social class, ownershIp of dwelhng, welfare benefIt status, season

    b) The nutntlOnal content of each household's food purchases can be calculated uSing the Royal Society of ChemIstry's standard composItion tables, whIch are available In machine readable form ThIs can then be compared WIth the DHSS Recommended Dally Allowances to Judge geographical vanatlons In under/over nutntlon

    c) USing a Simple geographical informatIon system It IS pOSSIble to produce computer maps of both raw and maDlpulated data

    The contract work undertaken was as follows 1 The data were supplied by the Data ArchIve as flat files In SPSSX format on magnetic tapes The cost of documentatIon, tape and postage was very reasonable, WIth the M A F F 's royalty, at 50 per annum, the most slgDlflcant Item

    2 The indiVIdual annual data fdes were copied to diSC on the UDlverslty of Durham's mainframe Amdahl5860 computer An Immediate problem encountered was the sheer volume of data Durham's normal resource hmlt of memory IS 500 'pages' of diSC space, With a major hmlt of 10,000 pages Each year of NFS data represents 3-4,000 pages and the full 1979-89 senes therefore totalled 38,500 pages With a full archive back-up (hence a grand total of 77K pages, which equals 0 3Gb), thiS was very substantIally beyond normal hmlts Durham's computing envlTonment IS due for a complete change In June 1992, With a change from MTS to UNIX

    4 Mlspunches can be Identified faIrly easJly and a future task WIll be to clean the datawhere necessary Some problems In reading at least one vanable In the raw data seemto have been encountered by the Data ArchIve's software The solutIOn to thIS problemIS less obvIOUS

    5 The NFS data wIll shortly be avaJlable m the form of a database whIch can bemterrogated by SIR, a commercIal relational database program whIch has been adoptedby the M A F F Unfortunately the Umverslty of Durham has no plans to acquIre SIRand research wIll therefore continue uSing SPSSX and dBase IV, neIther of whIch ISIdeal, or the relational package INGRES

    6 The structure of the NFS data IS complex In ArchIVe- generated record type 1 thereIS household information, In 1979 7277 cases x 57 vanables ThIs Included regIOn, area,famJly Income, ownershIp of fndge/freezer, etc In record type 2, the level of themdlVldual person, there were m 1979 28,055 cases x 10 vanables, mcludmg baSICmformatlon on age, sex, occupation, and activIty In record type 3 m 1979 there waspurchase data on 369,784 Items x 8 vanables Here type, quantIty and cost of purchaseswere recorded Levels 2 and 3 nest mto level 1 and SPSSX routines have to be wnttento relate the dIfferent levels

    Other Data Sets(a) DIet In the Home was a survey carned out m 1969 by SOCIal Surveys (Gallup Poll)Ltd The aun was to !1st everythmg eaten at home dunng the survey day 75 questIonswere asked, rangmg across a WIde spectrum of foods and consumptIon behaVIour Thesurvey resembles those stili used by market research compames, although there were noquestIons on quantities consumed

    (b) The NEDO Eating Out Survey, 1974, conducted by SOCIal Surveys (Gallup Poll) Ltdwas an enquIry Into the snacks, meals and dnnks consumed away from home 69questions were asked and a dIary completed

    (c) The FamJly ExpendIture Survey IS an annual survey of the Income, payment andexpendIture behaVIOur of a sample of 7,700 households Unfortunately access to dataat the sub-regIOnal IS not pOSSIble The computer tapes wJlI soon be loaded m Durhamfor 1979-89, and the years 1961-1978 (14 studIes) are also avadable at the ESRC DataArchIve The FES IS a nch source of informatIon about household strucmre, Income,welfare benefIt stams, SOCIal class, occupatIOnal status, and expendIture on 64 food Items(mcludmg meals out)

    These costs were prohibitIVe In the context of the present proJect, but future researchought to take cogmsance of market research data for the wealth of locatIonally-specificmformatIOn It offers

    Future work plannedThis project has been lImited m ItS scope to data acquISItion and prelImmarymvestIgatIOn As a result of the contract work undertaken, the present mvestIgator ISnow convmced that there IS a great deaJ of relevant and very valuable work possible msubsequent phases The followmg are some obVIOUS research themes

    (I) To model the NFS data statIstIcally The aim here wouJd be to mvestIgate theexplanatory power of the vanables which are most frequently asserted as determmIngdIetary behaVIour The possIbll!tIes for LhlS project are Income; socIal class;employment status, household demographiC structure, retail pnce vanatlons lD relatIOnto overall cost of hVlDg, and other factors, eg ownership of a freezer, age of housewife,etc The expectatIon IS that there wlll be an Important residual regional andsub-regIOnal pattern which wlll have to be explamed by resort to other factors

    (11) To Investigate temporal trends In the NFS data Changes through tIme and acrossspace must be allowed for m the statIstIcal analysIs In order to prepare a statIc pooledmodel of the penod 1979-89, but the objectIve In thiS part of the research wlll be ratherto use that trend data to predict future patterns of food purchases and consumptlonHere, conclusIOns wlll be pitched at the scale of the standard regIOn for techmcal reasonsof statistical rehablhty aSSOCiated with the NFS samphng strategy The conclusIOns couldbe enhanced by tnangulatIon with the FES which IS collected at that same regIOnal level

    (m) To theonze the results from the analysIs of the empmcal data In BntalD foodconsumption, diet and nutntlOnal status have received msufflclent attentIon m SOCialtheory Much of the growlDg lIterature on the spatial structures of SOCial relations, forlDstance, relates to spatIal diVISions of labour and theIT consequences for changes mproduction relationships Far less attention has been devoted to geographical structuresproduced by and eVidenced ID the consumptIon process The demand Side of the foodsystem can tell us a great deal about the dynamiC of SOCial differentIatIon To thiS endI wish to analyse the changIng household demand for food In tIme and space, reveahngwhat one might call 'diVISIOns of consumptIOn'

    (IV) PolIcy ImplIcations of futUle work1 This work would proVide polIcy makers with a valuable tool for cahbratmg theirIdeas NatIonwide polICies are expensive to Implement thiS research could show theextent to which local/regIOnal targetIng IS necessary/desITable Mrs EdwIna Curne wouldno doubt have welcomed such detailed Information when makmg her comments on the'northern' diet

    (11) To IDvestlgate temporal trends ID the NFS data Changes through tIme and across space must be allowed for ID the statIstIcal analYSIS m order to prepare a statIc pooled model of the penod 1979-89, but the objectIve ID thiS part of the research wIll be rather to use that trend data to predict future patterns of food purchases and consumptIon Here, conclUSIOns wdl be pitched at the scale of the standard region for techmcal reasons of statistical relIabilIty aSSOCiated With the NFS samplIng strategy The conclUSions could be enhanced by tnangulatIon With the FES whIch IS collected at that same regIOnal level

    (111) To theonze the results from the analYSIS of the empmcal data In BntalD food consumptIOn, diet and nutntIOnal status have received IDsufilclent attentIon ID SOCial theory Much of the growlDg lIterature on the spatIal structures of SOCial relations, for mstance, relates to spatIal diVISions of labour and theIT consequences for changes m productton relationshIps Far less attention has been devoted to geographical structures produced by and eVidenced m the consumptIon process The demand SIde of the food system can tell us a great deal about the dynamiC of SOCial differentIatIon To thiS end I Wish to analyse the changmg household demand for food m time and space, revealIng what one might call 'diVISIOns of consumptIOn'

    (IV) PolIcy ImplIcatIons of futUle work 1 This work would proVide polIcy makers With a valuable tool for calIbratmg thelf Ideas NatIonWide polICies are expensIve to Implement thiS research could show the extent to which local/regIOnal targetmg IS necessary/desITable Mrs Edwma Curne would no doubt have welcomed such detailed mformatIOn when makmg her comments on the 'northern' diet
