Background: The current food system has major consequences for the environment and human health. Alignment of policy areas mitigating climate change public health will ensure coherent effective interventions sustaining environment. This paper explores literature on demand-side policies that aim to reduce consumption animal-based foods, increase plant-based overconsumption. Methods: We searched publications, published between January 2000 December 2019, considering above domains. Articles...
Abstract Community supported agriculture (CSA) is a format for provisioning food, usually vegetables, where consumers are involved, to various degrees, in the production process. In this study of survey data, we explore differences between CSAs Norway and UK terms organisational models member characteristics, particularly factors that contribute increase contentment with CSAs, their perceptions own mental health vegetable consumption. Results show compared British, Norwegian CSA members...
Abstract A sustainable transition in the agri‐food system holds society‐wide implications. Farmers play central roles responding to climate change, environmental degradation and food production. Still, factors underlying how farmers make decisions manage their farms are often marginalised efforts develop policies tackle these issues. The concept of relational values, defined as preferences, principles virtues based on human–nature relationships, recently emerged expand understandings...
Imperfect competition among purchasers of coffee is a common problem for small scale producers. Producer-owned marketing cooperatives can reduce the market power private and restore competition. Non-members as well members will then receive higher prices. In present paper I carry out theoretical an empirical investigation into effect Fairtrade organically certified on local prices in Chiapas, Mexico. A model presented which explains how competitive may work this particular setting, where...
A more plant-based diet will contribute to food sustainability. Achieving this change requires collaboration across disciplines which is not easy achieve. This article illustrates how interdisciplinary in a large research project can be facilitated through design-led innovation process juxtaposing approaches from design and science. Consumer insights were used creative workshops ideate develop packaging product concepts for focusing on ‘environment’, ‘health’ ‘Norwegian’ imperatives....
Despite the scientific evidence that more plants and less animal-based food is sustainable, policy interventions to reduce meat consumption are scarce. However, campaigns for free days in school office canteens have spread globally over last years. In this paper, we look at Norwegian Armed Forces’ attempt introduce Meatless Monday campaign their camps, evaluate implementation process as well effect of on soldiers. Qualitative interviews with military staff indicate lack conviction about...
Abstract Pollarding in agroforestry systems was traditionally an important practice for fodder acquisition Western Norway, as well many other parts of the world. The has long been decline, but to maintain cultural landscapes and biodiversity enhancement from pollarding, farmers now receive a public grant each tree they pollard. In this interdisciplinary study we investigate which ecosystem services modern pollarding practices provide, under influence current policy. We have performed both...
Abstract Markets for cash‐crops in developing countries are typically characterized by a concentration of buyer power at different levels the supply chain. For instance, small‐scale coffee farmers sell their produce to middleman, who turn sells onward an exporter, often foreign multinational, with monopsony hands purchasers both levels. We analyze pricing behavior and welfare assumptions regarding market power. In particular, we show that more powerful exporter is likely benefit producers...
Abstract The worldwide decline in bees and other pollinating insects is a threat to biodiversity food security, urgent action must be taken stop then reverse this decline. An established cause of the insect use harmful pesticides agriculture. This case study focuses on Norwegian apple production considers who among farmers, consumers public authorities most responsible for protecting against pesticides. extent which these three different groups consider themselves degree they are trusted by...
Abstract Short food supply chains (SFSCs) are associated with a range of contested, place-based attributes which contrast the characteristics complex, global and corporate chains. This article avoids such oppositional binaries by focusing on SFSCs serving two European cities, namely Oslo (Norway) Bristol (UK). It reviews cities as particular kind market within to secure custom, presenting qualitative data from study in these examine marketing barriers opportunities encountered. Distinctive...
