| Popis: | espanolEste articulo muestra que Chile experimento una profunda transicion nutricional en un corto periodo de tiempo. Antes de comienzos de los anos 1990, la mayoria de los chilenos tenia una dieta pobre en calcio y proteina animal. Hoy, sin embargo, los chilenos disfrutan de una dieta caracterizada por un alto consumo de carne y productos lacteos. El aumento subito en el consumo de carnes y productos lacteos esta principalmente asociado a la adopcion en Chile de la revolucion internacional en agronegocios; al apoyo gubernamental entre las decadas de 1930 y 1960; a un aumento del PIB per capita; la estabilidad macroeconomica; los cambios en habitos de consumo; la liberalizacion comercial; y a la caida de precios de los alimentos, que tienen una alta elasticidad de demanda. Estas revoluciones en produccion y consumo han mejorado de gran manera la nutricion de la poblacion chilena, lo que explica parte de las mejoras en bienestar biologico del pais. EnglishThis article shows how Chile experienced a profound nutrition transition within a short period of time. Before the early 1990s, the diet of most Chileans was poor in animal proteins and calcium. Today, Chileans enjoy a diet characterized by high consumption of meat and dairy products. The rapid rise in consumption of these products can be attributed to various factors: Chile belatedly joining the international agribusiness revolution; government support from the 1930s to the 1960s; increasing GDP per capita; macro-economic stability; changes in consumption habits; trade liberalization; and the fall in food prices, as both meat and milk had high income elasticity. These revolutions in both production and consumption have greatly improved the nutrition of the Chilean population and partly explain the improvement in Chile’s biological well-being. |
