Stakeholder‐Driven Food Policy and Multilevel Governance for Agri‐Food Systems Resilience
Climate‐resilient food systems require simultaneously addressing climate mitigation, food security, and biodiversity conservation. Yet most policy frameworks treat these interdependent goals as separate challenges, fragmenting action across sectors. This study examines how diverse food system actors (producers, policymakers, civil society, consumers) reach consensus on integrated resilience strategies and governance architectures. A two‐round Del…
Reassessing the economic implications of environmental protection measures
Environmental spending should not be assessed solely on the basis of implementation cost. • Comprehensive approaches are needed when assessing the induced economic effects of Green Payments. • Green Payments help enhance economic growth and maintain social stability in rural regions. • Results demonstrate that, besides playing a key role in sustainable agriculture, Green Payments are cost-neutral investments. • Evaluating the actual and multiface…

This article investigates smoker's profile by addressing the determinants of cigarette demand and providing a circumstantial exposition of the psychosocial characteristics that differentiate smoking patterns. At the same time, the impact of tobacco control policies on smoking rates and their effectiveness on decreasing cigarette consumption are also analyzed. Consumers are distinguished in four smoking groups in concurrence to smoking status, and…
