The production and distribution of food are among the hot topics debated in context sustainable development. Short supply chains (SFSCs) now widely believed to be more comparison mass delivery systems. To date, very little quantitative evidence exists on impacts various types chains. Using a cross-sectional approach, this study assesses sustainability channels short long based 208 producers across seven countries: France, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, United Kingdom, Vietnam. Ten channel...
The present food system faces major challenges in terms of sustainable development along social, economic and environmental dimensions. These are often associated with industrialised production processes longer less transparent distribution chains. Thus, closer systems through Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs) may be considered as a alternative. This study explores the role different types SFSCs their contribution to sustainability participants’ (consumers, retailers producers) views...
Improving the eco-efficiency of food systems is one major global challenges faced by modern world. Short supply chains (SFSCs) are commonly regarded to be less harmful environment, among various reasons, due their organizational distribution and thus shortened physical distance between primary producers final consumers. In this paper, we empirically test hypothesis, assessing comparing environmental impacts short long chains. Based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach, calculate...
Consumers increasingly rate the ethical dimensions of food production, including animal welfare, as important to them but how these concerns influence their choices remains unclear. To address this, a Discrete Choice Experiment assesses consumers' willingness pay for chicken meat. The study aims understand effects labels (RSPCA Assured and Red Tractor), cause-related marketing campaigns, price on pay. Drawing representative sample 401 British consumers, we estimate mixed logit model using...
Globally, consumption of Fruit and Vegetables (F&V) remains below nutritional guidelines. With retailers accounting for a large portion F&V sales, marketing can be key to increase at household level. However, challenge is the design strategies that benefit retailers, e.g., improving loyalty, whilst promoting societal goals. This study evaluates points-plus-cash loyalty program where participants received points by purchasing selected F&V, redeemable against reward (plush toys in shape F&V)....
The nexus of agri-food and sustainability in economic development has recently attracted the interest policymakers, as global challenges like climate change food security are revisited reassessed. critical role production been emphasized through targeted agricultural quality policies. Many developed countries worldwide, including EU member states, have introduced policies that could support sustainability. This paper combines knowledge obtained by several groups a broad study reflections on...
While European consumers generally support the principles underpinning Food Quality Schemes (FQS) sales of certified products remain modest. This phenomenon is known as 'attitude-behaviour gap' and considerable scholarly policy efforts have been geared towards 'filling' or 'bridging' gap. study aims at casting new light on this 'discrepancy' between consumers' sayings doings through a everyday food practices connected to FQS. We used qualitative, multi-method research design comprising...

Abstract Fisheries and coastal economies across Europe have witnessed substantial structural changes that brought about challenges for territorial cohesion social renewal within the fishing sector. Notably, there has been a disconnect between industry local communities, with fisheries largely producing commodities wide‐ranging often distant markets. In response, short food supply chains (SFSCs) are an important element of development strategies Local Action Groups (FLAGs), being regarded as...
Shortening food supply chains attracts increasing support from policymakers, to improve returns farmers and stimulate rural development. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence regarding the impacts short on local economies. To address this, article quantifies economies, using Keynesian-based Local Multiplier 3 method (LM3), applied unique dataset 122 farm businesses five European Union countries (France, Hungary, Italy, Poland United Kingdom). Estimations cover 305 market chains,...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss and evaluate the role hybrid forums as tools address specific controversies related sustainable practices in localized agro-food systems (LAFS). Design/methodology/approach In contrast with other conventional public engagement methods, such citizen juries, consensus conferences, focus groups or deliberative processes, entail a more dynamic democratic mechanism reflect act together, aim constructing common project around defined challenge...
This cross-country study investigates the relative role of organic labelling in consumers' purchase decisions for apples and extent to which behavioral constructs, derived from an extension Theory Planned Behavior, influence choices. We apply Integrated Choice Latent Variable Model, combining a discrete choice experiment with structural equation modelling. Empirical validation draws on data online survey conducted three European countries (NGermany=404; NNorway=407; NUK=401). In all...
The objective of this paper is to explore the determinants leave agriculture and change occupational sector. We adopt a 3-step multivariate probit where we control for selection bias at two stages in decisions work and, later stage, exit agriculture. analysis based on European Union Labour Force Survey data expanded with additional regional indicators. main results suggest that younger individuals are more likely farming activities, although largest outflows agricultural labour mainly...
This paper presents an empirical methodology for studying the reallocation of agricultural labour across sectors from micro data. Whereas different approaches have been employed in literature to better understand mobility labour, looking at determinants exit farm employment and enter off-farm activities, initial decision individuals work agriculture, as opposed other sectors, has often neglected. The proposed controls selectivity bias, which may arise presence a non-random sample population,...
Abstract Fairness in agri-food supply chains receives increasing consumer, industry, and political attention but is currently under-conceptualized lacks appropriate frameworks for measurement. Therefore, building on a theoretically grounded conceptualization of consumer dispositions toward fairness chains, we developed validated 14-item measurement scale (FAIRFOOD). The comprises four dimensions (economic, environmental, social, informational) which are manifestations the same construct...
Introduction & BackgroundGlobally, consumption of Fruit and Vegetables (F&V) remains below nutritional guidelines. Marketing healthy products can be complex for retailers, a key challenge is the design strategies that benefit e.g., through improved loyalty, deliver progress on societal goals.
 Objectives ApproachThis study evaluates point-plus-cash frequency reward program where participants received points by purchasing selected F&V, redeemable against (plush toys in shape...
