The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has strongly influenced consumers’ habits and behaviours, creating a more sustainable healthier era consumption. Hence, there is potential for further expanding green food sector in China. theory planned behaviour (TPB) one widely used framework to explain choices. Considering internal norms, their perceptions attributes, shifting consumer behaviour, our study extended TPB (E-TPB) by adding constructs moral attitude, health consciousness, impact (IOC)....
This study applied a qualitative approach to investigate the underlying influences on consumers' green food consumption from intention generation phase execution in perspectives of purchase and intention-behaviour gap (IBG). Additionally, impact "Coronavirus Disease 2019" (COVID-19) pandemic purchases was explored. Research data were derived semi-structured in-depth interviews with 28 consumers analyzed using grounded theory. The findings identified factors that influenced intentions IBG...
Water quality contamination by heavy metal pollution has severe effects on public health. In the Mashavera River Basin, an important agricultural area for national food system in Georgia (e.g., vegetable, dairy and wine production), water multiple influences regional country-wide With new industrial activities region, sediment extraction, discharge of untreated wastewater into river, its tributaries irrigation canals, a comprehensive study was greatly needed. This examined samples from 17...
Nutrient deficiencies are a public health problem in Sri Lanka. Achieving food security is major challenge due to unhealthy eating patterns. The nutritional status of woman and her knowledge powerful indicator the children household security. Nutrition-related attitude necessary for dietary changes towards healthier pattern. For that reason, nutrition-related Knowledge, Attitude Practice (KAP) one key factors achieving main objective this study assess KAP among reproductive-age women...
Micronutrient malnutrition is a serious public health problem in developing countries, including Sri Lanka. Most frequently, micronutrient experienced by the poorest households due to cereal-based, monotonous diets that lack dietary diversity. Lankan traditional food system changing day day.

Lack of attention to spatial and temporal cross-scale dynamics effects could be understood as one the lacunas in scholarship on river basin management. Within water-climate-food-energy nexus, an integrated inclusive approach that recognizes traditional knowledge about experiences climate change water resource management can provide crucial assistance confronting problems megaprojects multipurpose projects. The Mahaweli Development Program (MDP), a megaproject project, is demonstrating...
During the evolutionary phases of COVID-19 pandemic, consumers' eating habits and spending behaviours have progressively shifted to pursuit safer healthier food products, such as organic food. Therefore, this study investigated factors affecting Chinese buyers' continuous purchase intentions (CPI) during post-pandemic era. To better adapt current consumption context in China, proposed a modified TPB framework (M-TPB), by replacing subjective norms with cultural variables, face consciousness...
Abstract With the global population set to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, posing a potential 75% increase in food demand, this study examined viability of edible insects as sustainable protein source compared with beef. Employing meta-analysis approach, data were synthesized from studies conducted over past 13 years, using Hedges’ d effect size and mixed model methods. The parameter values included nutritional, environmental, economic aspects insects. Out 10,119 articles screened, 222 selected...
Competing natural resources usage that leads to dramatic land use changes can threaten the balance of a social-ecological system. When this is case, communities are directly exposed negative consequences those changes. The Mashavera River Basin considered one hotspots environmental pollution in Georgia. This importance for public health because food production from basin meets substantial proportion country’s demand. farmers’ perception water quality and their perceived risks economy,...
Not least from an ecological and health perspective, it can be posited that a broader part of consumers should practice sustainable diets. People who are already willing to do so often confronted with the intention-behavior gap, caused by range internal external factors. To eliminate these barriers requires deeper more comprehensive understanding factors their interplay. Therefore, think aloud study 20 adult German participants was conducted explore four chosen availability, education,...

A cross-sectional study was undertaken four locations, including two rural urban areas north south survey with pre-coded open-ended questions employed during interviews 423 WRAs...
ABSTRACT The growing organic market demands methods which can describe food quality within the system (authentication). Several studies indicate that methods, such as biocrystallization method, are suitable for this question. More or less reproducible crystallization patterns emerge when an aqueous dihydrate cupric chloride solution with plant extract is crystallized on a glass dish. emerging characteristic of sample material. To be applied in routine analysis example authentication...
Sri Lanka was a colony of the Portuguese, Dutch, and British. The simplification Lankan food culture can be seen most clearly today, including how diet has been changed in last 400 years since colonial occupation began. Therefore, greater efforts must made to uncover forces that have undermined security health Lanka. Also traditional eating habits, which are associated with countless benefits, gradually replaced by globalized system multinational corporations hidden hunger, inherent...

ABSTRACT The biocrystallization method has been used as a holistic for evaluating food samples since the 1930s and has, recent reviews have concluded, successful in discriminating farming systems several studies. However, it is noted that standardization validation more objective means of evaluation pictures clearly defined communicable language, well possibilities verification, are still lacking. During years 2002–2006 project standardizing validating visual these biocrystallizations took...
A review of recent literature pertaining to organic and functional food was conducted according its conceptual background. Functional both belong fast growing segments the European market. Both are regulations, but is further regulated by regulation for agriculture production. This restricts number additives limits substantial changes in food. may cause problems changing based on single constituents or attributes when applying concept Claims influence positively health can only be accepted...
