When the date passes
Purpose This study aims to investigate how European Union regulatory date labels (“use by” vs. “best before”) and proximity to the printed date influence consumers’ evaluations and intended consumption of yoghurt and whether these effects are moderated by knowledge of the “best before” label meaning and food disgust sensitivity. Design/methodology/approach A web-based experiment conducted in January 2025 with Italian consumers employed a 2 × 3 mi…
Environmental awareness affects adoption of greener production systems
This study investigates the environmental awareness (EA) of Italian winegrowers and its influence on adopting sustainable production protocols. Utilising a multidimensional concept of EA, an online survey was conducted with 275 winegrowers from the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Protected Designation of Origin area. Data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling and a Multinomial Probit Model, revealing four out of five dimensions as c…
Exploring sufficiency in meat diets
How do farmers plan to safeguard the environment? Empirical evidence on farmers’ intentions to adopt organic pest management practices
The development and optimization of more sustainable pest control methods, primarily focusing on preventive strategies and non-chemical tools, is a global priority for scientists and agrochemical companies. This study examines Sicilian farmers’ willingness to adopt organic pest management practices for protecting tomatoes and zucchini from two key insect pests, namely Tuta absoluta and Bemisia tabaci. We implemented the Theory of Planned Behavior…
Intrinsic motivation strongly affects the readiness toward circular food consumption
Purpose This study empirically explores the factors that influence consumers’ readiness toward engagement in circular food consumption. Design/methodology/approach A conceptual model based on the motivation–opportunity–ability (MOA) framework was developed. In addition to all the classical relationships in this theoretical framework, respondents' age and education were added to the model. An online survey was conducted, resulting in an overall sa…
Stay or leave Ethiopia
This study analyses the main determinants of migration in order to guide future policy interventions in Ethiopia. We use a double-hurdle model for observing a sample of 4,946 households by a representative survey data. The findings show that the likelihood of migration mainly depends on socio-economic factors while not affected by regional origin. The determinants related to household heads and members have strong impacts, thus confirming that th…
Examining linkages among multiple sustainable development outcomes
In Ethiopia, on-farm agrobiodiversity and the Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) play a key role in building smallholders’ resilience. However, the impact of PSNP on on-farm agrobiodiversity is not yet well investigated. In this paper, we develop an analytical framework that links PSNP participation to on-farm agrobiodiversity. Both diverse farming systems and PSNP require labour inputs while providing income stabilization, which might result i…
Beyond one-size-fits-all
Cultured meat, also known as "in-vitro meat," "clean meat," "synthetic meat," "lab-grown meat" and many other nomenclatures, represents one of the most recent controversial food technologies, even with its environmental benefits. Although the market success of cultured meat depends on consumers' acceptance, specific characteristics such as name and packaging color can influence consumers' perceptions and acceptance of the food product. This study…
Only the best for my kids
Despite the evidence that mothers' food purchasing behavior impacts the quality of children's diet, few studies have explored psycho-social factors influencing how mothers choose the food to buy for their children. To fill this gap, this study tested an extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model to predict mothers' tendency to seek information on food labels before purchasing food for children. Participants included 311 Italian mothers who c…
Land degradation and climate change
This study aims at estimating the wheat yield response to future challenges (land degradation and climate change) through a statistical emulator. Data from Global Agro‐ecological Zones on the overall wheat yields of 254 provinces for nine main wheat‐producing countries and corresponding climate and land suitability information were collected to estimate the statistical relationship between regressors and wheat yields. Once the statistical emulato…
Do consumers really recognise a distinct quality hierarchy amongst PDO sparkling wines? The answer from experimental auctions
Purpose Consumer likeability and willingness to pay (WTP) for two Italian sparkling wines, (Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG and Prosecco DOC) are evaluated through a non-hypothetical Becker-DeGroot-Marschak (BDM) auction during a wine-tasting experiment. The purpose of this paper is to estimate individual WTP and relate it to likeability for both wines, with and without supplying additional information on their features. Design/methodology…
Analysing the consumer purchasing behaviour for certified wood products in Italy
The “Land of Fires” Toxic Waste Scandal and Its Effect on Consumer Food Choices
The present study focused on an environmental scandal that occurred in Italy, the Land of Fires toxic waste scandal, which caused consumer concerns related to the safety of food produced in the affected region, as well as massive market reduction in products associated with the polluted area. Based on a representative sample of Italian households ( N = 1134), this study applied an extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model to analyze consume…
To diversify or not to diversify, that is the question. Pursuing agricultural development for smallholder farmers in marginal areas of Ghana
Many smallholder farmers in developing countries grow multiple crop species on their farms, maintaining de facto crop diversity. Rarely do agricultural development strategies consider this crop diversity as an entry point for fostering agricultural innovation. This paper presents a case study, from an agricultural research-for-development project in northern Ghana, which examines the relationship between crop diversity and self-consumption of foo…
Determinants of Individual Attitudes Toward Animal Welfare-Friendly Food Products
Assessing the Effectiveness of Projects Supporting On-Farm Conservation of Native Crops
This paper presents an approach for assessing the effectiveness of projects aimed at creating incentives for smallholder farmers to continue maintaining crop diversity under evolution on their farms in relevant centers of genetic diversity—a process known as on-farm conservation. It is applied to five projects involving native crops in the High Andes of South America. Results show evidence that projects have been effective at supporting farmers t…
Distributional Effects of Maize Price Increases in Malawi
In the wake of highly volatile world prices of staple commodities, we examine the impacts of increases in maize prices on various categories of households in Malawi. Using household-level data, changes in household income are calculated taking into account the net maize production status of the household and food price elasticities estimated from a censored demand system. While maize price increases have unequivocal deleterious effects on the inc…
Consumer fears and familiarity of processed food. The value of information provided by the FTNS
Farmers' Participation in Civic Agriculture
This work investigates how farmers' attitudes influence their decision to participate in some particular forms of civic agriculture, namely farmers' markets (conventional or organic), solidarity purchase groups, direct selling, and box schemes. It also explores whether social embeddedness-related attitudes occur with different intensities within the various types of civic agriculture. To this end, a survey was carried out among farmers participat…
The Perceived Impact of the In-Trust Agreements on CGIAR Germplasm Availability
An empirical assessment of the effects of the 1994 In Trust Agreements on Irri Germplasm Acquisition and Distribution
The objective of this paper is to assess the possible influence of the 1994 In Trust Agreements (ITAs) on acquisition and distribution of germplasm held by the International Research Rice Institute (IRRI) genebank. The agreements, legally affirmed the ‘public good’ status of the collections that were placed ‘In Trust’ for the benefit of the world community under agreements with FAO. They initiated a formal system of multilateral access to CGIAR-h…
