“The vendor I trust, it’s because she’s

  • clean. It’s not

Concluding remarks

  • Food environments in artisanal mining communities

are dynamic; reflect interplay of consumer needs and vendor responses

  • They are generally not conducive to good nutrition

for either adults or children

  • Need to design and test programmatic & regulatory

strategies to improve these food environments
