The phenomenon of the deviation between purchase attitudes and actual buying behaviour responsible consumers is called attitude-behaviour gap. It influenced by individual, social situational factors. main purchasing barriers for sustainable (organic) food are price, lack immediate availability, sensory criteria, or overload information as well low-involvement feature products in conjunction with well-established consumption routines, transparency trust towards labels certifications. last...
Abstract Green infrastructure has been widely recognized for the benefits to human health and biodiversity conservation. However, knowledge of qualities requirements such spaces structures effective delivery range ecosystem services expected is still limited, as well identification trade-offs between services. In this study, we apply One Health approach in context green investigate how urban park characteristics affect mental wildlife support outcomes identify synergies these dimensions....
Abstract This paper reviews the role of smallholder farmers with respect to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Their double function in adoption SDGs and their socio‐economic limitations have made it difficult for them fulfil expectations as promoters sustainable development. Our analysis showed that 13 respective targets address these limitations. We identified satisfaction basic human needs is a central issue farmers. Other essential issues are (a) innovative education training options...
To save energy and reduce environmental impacts, new technologies towards a development of sustainable ‘greener’ economy are needed. The main opportunity to improve sustainability by reducing emissions is within the transport sector. More than 90% all goods worldwide transported ships. Particularly maritime ships using heavy fuel oil marine gas play major role. total consumption shipping in 2016 was about 250 m t (domestic ca. 50 t, international 200 t). vast portion ship need overcome drag...
United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 emphasizes participatory urban development to improve the quality of life and well-being citizens. Achieving this requires mechanisms that actively engage citizens in planning, reflecting their subjective needs experiences. This study adopts a citizen science approach facilitates collaboration between city officials, residents, researchers explore environment. We present process implemented Sankt Augustin, Germany, livability climate...
Abstract Insect declines and biodiversity loss have attracted much attention in recent years, but lack of comprehensive data, conflicting interests among stakeholders insufficient policy guidance hinder progress preserving biodiversity. The project DINA (Diversity Insects Nature protected Areas) investigates insect communities 21 nature reserves Germany. All selected conservation sites border arable land, with agricultural practices assumed to influence populations. We taught citizen...
Abstract In recent years, the decline of insect biodiversity and imminent loss provided ecosystem functions services has received public attention raised demand for political action. The complex, multi-causal contributors to require a broad interdisciplinary cross-sectoral approach that addresses ecological social aspects find sustainable solutions. project Diversity Insects in Nature protected Areas (DINA) assesses communities 21 nature reserves Germany, considers interactions with plant...
Agricultural activities within city boundaries have a long history in both developed and developing countries. In this paper, broad approach to Urban AgriCulture (UAC) is used, one that includes the production of crops urban peri-urban areas ranges countries from allotment gardens over community semi-entrepreneurial self-harvest farms fully commercialized agriculture. With an empirical case study on UAC Initiatives Bonn/Rhein-Sieg region work fills gap since lack comprehensive comparative...
Although much effort is made to prevent risks arising from food, food-borne diseases are an ever-present threat the consumers’ health. The consumption of fresh food that contaminated with pathogens like fungi, viruses or bacteria can cause poisoning leads severe health damages even death. outbreak Shiga Toxin-producing enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) in Germany and neighbouring countries 2011 has shown this dramatically. Nearly 4.000 people were reported being affected more than 50 died...
Abstract The decline of insect abundance and richness has been documented for decades received increased attention in recent years. In 2017, a study by Hallmann colleagues on biomasses German nature protected areas great deal provided the impetus creation project Diversity Insects Nature Areas (DINA). aim DINA was to investigate possible causes insects throughout Germany develop strategies managing problem. A major issue protection is lack insect-specific regulations risk assessment...
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD, SDG 4) and human well-being (SDG 3) are among the central subjects of Goals (SDGs). In this article, based on Questionnaire Eudaimonic Well-Being (QEWB), we investigate to what extent (a) there is a connection between EWB practical commitment SDGs whether (b) deficit in young people general. We also want use article draw attention need further research links sustainable development. A total 114 students ages 18 34, who either engaged...
In January 2015, German retail and industry jointly started a sector-wide initiative (“Initiative Tierwohl” - ITW) to improve animal welfare standards. The principle of the ITW is communicated mostly via websites its participating companies. However, uncertainty remained whether or not these provide necessary information consumers need on products. Based Schwartz's basic human values, different types were identified by cluster analysis (ward-method, k-means). results showed that depending...
Agricultural activities within the city boundaries have a long history in both developed and developing countries. Especially countries these contribute to food security mitigation of malnutrition (food grown for home consumption). They generate additional income recreation, environmental health as well social interaction. In this paper, broad approach Urban AgriCulture is used, which includes production crops urban peri-urban areas ranges from allotment gardens (Schrebergarten) over...
Since the introducing of new German packaging law 'VerpackG2' in January 2023, food service operators Germany selling takeout have been mandated to provide reusable alternatives single-use plastic containers. This change legislation has led emergence various consumer systems market. Reusable potential significantly reduce negative environmental impact packaging. However, for these succeed and achieve their desired positive impact, a comprehensive understanding behavior toward is needed....
Pursuant to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15 of the 2030 Agenda for United Nations, one pivotal target is halt biodiversity loss. This paper’s objective analyze why and how German farmers hesitate implement more than prescriptive measures with regard cross compliance direct payments under European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) what their aspirations are possible incentives bring into focus. By applying a mixed methods approach, we investigate experience individual by means...
