We identified factors in the physical food environment that influence dietary behaviours among low-income dwellers in three African cities (Nairobi, Accra, Ho). We used Photovoice with 142 males/females (≥13 years). In the neighbourhood environment, poor hygiene, environmental sanitation, food contamination and adulteration were key concerns. Economic access was perceived as a major barrier to accessing nutritionally safe and healthy foods. Home gardening supplemented household nutritional needs, particularly in Nairobi. Policies to enhance food safety in neighbourhood environments are required. Home gardening, food pricing policies and social protection schemes could reduce financial barriers to safe and healthy diets.
我们在三个非洲城市（内罗毕、阿克拉、霍）发现了影响低收入居民饮食行为的物质食物环境因素（内罗毕、阿克拉、霍）。我们使用照片见证法，对 142 名男性/女性（≥13 岁）进行了研究。在社区环境中，卫生条件差、环境卫生、食物污染和掺假是主要关注点。经济获取被认为是获得营养安全和健康食品的主要障碍。家庭园艺补充了家庭的营养需求，特别是在内罗毕。需要制定政策来加强社区环境中的食品安全。家庭园艺、食品定价政策和社会保护计划可以减少安全健康饮食的经济障碍。
