For many centuries, hunter-gatherer societies relied on subsistence practices and traditional diets. However, forces of globalization have increased market involvement, thereby fueling the nutrition transition of hunter-gatherer societies. We review the academic literature on market involvement of hunter-gatherer societies in the Western Amazon and its consequences on diet, health and well-being. First, we elaborate on four main determinants of market involvement (accessibility, monetary income, wild meat trade and social capital), showing how each determinant draws individuals toward or away from markets. Thereafter, we discuss how these determinants alter diet, health and well-being. Our results add to the understanding of the complex relations between market involvement, dietary change, health and well-being of indigenous societies. Furthermore, they bring to light that additional research is needed on the topic to support decision-makers and help preserve indigenous values.
几个世纪以来,狩猎采集社会依赖于生计实践和传统饮食。然而,全球化的力量增加了市场参与度,从而推动了狩猎采集社会的营养转型。我们回顾了关于西方亚马逊地区狩猎采集社会市场参与度及其对饮食、健康和福祉影响的学术文献。首先,我们详细阐述了市场参与的四个主要决定因素(可及性、货币收入、野味贸易和社会资本),展示了每个决定因素如何使个人更倾向于或远离市场。然后,我们讨论了这些决定因素如何改变饮食、健康和福祉。我们的研究结果增进了对市场参与、饮食变化、健康和福祉之间复杂关系的理解。此外,研究结果表明,需要对此主题进行更多研究,以支持决策者并帮助保护原住民价值观。
