Abstract The social groups such as friends, family, institution and peers influences sustainable food consumption. The prices of substitute product will also affect consumption of sustainable foods. This is because consumers will prefer a substitute product especially if it has a lesser price. The principles of sustainable development consist of economic, societal, and environmental considerations. Economic systems and social structures shape social impacts on health, which are embedded in the broader environment and affect the distribution of energy resources worldwide. Environmental sustainability is a long-term result of socio-economic development. A study was conducted to determine the food consumption pattern in a rural area and urban area The major objective was to investigate the influence of socio economic factors on food consumption patterns in the rural area. A random sample of 166 households was interviewed through a pre-designed questionnaire inquiring about household size, rate and level of education, total monthly income, and expenditure on various food commodities consumed. An ordinary least squares method was employed to analyze the data. The results indicated that an average household size of 8.5 persons with a literacy rate of 94 percent, spent fifty-five percent per month of the total monthly income on food consumption. The empirical results revealed that wheat flour, milk, rice, vegetables, sugar, edible fats and tea were positively correlated with household size but meat, pulses, eggs and fruit were not significantly influenced by it. Similarly, household’s monthly total income showed a positive relationship with the food commodities consumed, except wheat flour, vegetables and eggs. It may be concluded that majority of food commodities consumed had a positive response to household size and total monthly income. Therefore, it is imperative for policy makers to plan to improve food availability and to increase family income to enhance quality of rural life. The growing global population has given an ardent need to focus specially on sustainability issues arising from food consumption. The Socio-economic domain dwells on food affordability while emphasizing the social acceptability of foods. Results reveal a significant relationship between product price, income and education, social groups and substitutes on food consumption. Findings were discussed and conclusions drawn thereof.
Keywords Household size, Total monthly income, Food commodities, economic, sociological, sustainable foods, Food expenditure.
