How flexible are flexitarians? Examining diversity in dietary patterns, motivations and future intentions
Today's food systems are neither healthy nor sustainable, and excessive levels of meat consumption in high-income countries are part of the problem. A rising number of consumers are adopting ‘flexitarian’ diets (i.e., are choosing to reduce or limit their meat consumption). There is limited insight on the meat consumption patterns of this growing population subgroup. This study focuses on self-described flexitarian consumers and examines variatio…
Food choice drivers of potential lab-grown meat consumers in Australia
Purpose To examine the market potential for lab-grown meat (LGM) in Australia by: (1) determining consumers' willingness to consume LGM; (2) exploring heterogeneity in both consumers' willingness to consume LGM and food choice values; and (3) characterizing unique consumer clusters (segments) using socio-demographic, behavioral and psychosocial factors. Design/methodology/approach Latent class cluster analysis was conducted using online survey da…
Understanding food westernisation and other contemporary drivers of adult, adolescent and child nutrition quality in urban Vietnam
Objective: To examine the association between consumption of western foods purchased and consumed away from home and measures of nutrition quality: average daily caloric intake and macronutrient (carbohydrates, fat and protein) shares, for urban consumers in Vietnam, a country undergoing economic transition. Design: Cross-sectional observational data were collected using household surveys and 24-h food diaries. Outcome variables were individual a…
Off-farm employment increases women's empowerment
We examined intrahousehold decision making with respect to household investment in portfolios of future rice varietal trait improvements (VTIs) to increase farm households' livelihoods in Nueva Ecija, Philippines. Investment decisions were elicited using an experimental methodology based on investment games. In the investment game, couples from rice farming households were given the opportunity to invest in public rice breeding. They selected, fi…

Predicting healthy eating intention and adherence to dietary recommendations during pregnancy in Australia using the Theory of Planned Behaviour
Adherence to the Australian dietary guidelines during pregnancy
Objective To assess dietary intake of pregnant women against the Australian Dietary Guidelines with respect to the Five Food Group recommendations and determine predictors of adherence to the recommendations. Design Cross-sectional web-based survey. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Setting Pregnant women living in Australia. A national sample was recruited using an online panel provider and a South Australi…
Urban Shopping Patterns in Indonesia and Their Implications for Small Farmers
In developing countries, the expansion of supermarkets and other modern food retailers has raised concerns about the potential impact on traditional retailers and fruit and vegetable farmers. Will small farmers, in particular, be squeezed out of this growing, remunerative market by the quality standards imposed by supermarkets? In an attempt to answer this question, we analyse data from a stratified random sample of 1,180 urban households in Indo…
Market-Channel Choices of Indonesian Potato Farmers
We present an empirical analysis of how buyer (and trader) attributes influence decisions of market participation and channel choice among smallholder potato farmers in West Java, Indonesia. We use a best–worst scaling experiment to evaluate the determinants of these decisions and gauge the influence of buyer attributes. Our latent-class cluster analysis reveals that producers have heterogeneous preferences for buyer attributes, which address cla…
Diet Transition and Supermarket Shopping Behaviour
Supermarkets are leading the transformation of food markets in Asia, yet few studies have examined the impact of this so-called supermarket revolution on diet transition and the related nutritional and health implications. We use data from a sample of 1,180 urban households in Indonesia to explore the relation between the increased use of modern food-retail outlets and the emergence of unhealthy dietary patterns. The results of our ordinary least…
Determinants and Effects of Small Chilli Farmers’ Participation in Supermarket Channels in Indonesia
The number of supermarkets in Indonesia is increasing, but small-scale farmers may be at risk of being excluded from these emerging marketing channels. Drawing on data from our survey of 600 small-scale chilli farmers in West Java, we examine the factors that influence farmers’ decisions to participate in supermarket channels. We use a treatment-effect model to examine the effect of supermarket participation on income, while controlling for the p…
