Regardless of the potential economic and environmental benefits associated with plastic biodegradable mulch (BDM) use in fruit and vegetable production, BDM adoption among U.S. farmers remains relatively low. One of the factors influencing low BDM adoption is its cost. Using a 2019 Tennessee fruit and vegetable farmer survey, the contingent valuation method, and a probit regression, this study evaluates farmers’ preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for BDM. Results suggest price, on-farm income, and familiarity with BDM are factors influencing farmer adoption of BDM. However, results suggest producer WTP for BDM is below current BDM market prices.

This study analyzes the factors influencing consumers’ self-reported expected food waste when preparing a meal at home versus buying the meal already prepared. Results show that far-off expiration dates are expected to generate less food waste—particularly for fresh produce used in larger quantities and chicken. The Ready to Heat meal generated the lowest expected food waste. Convenient meal alternatives have the potential to reduce organic food waste, aside from any potential packaging waste, by facilitating the handling of products in transit, improving logistics, and reducing organic food waste.

The Mississippi River transportation system provides relatively low transportation costs for bulk commodities, enhancing U.S. competitiveness in the world soybean market. The Mississippi River’s urgency to change course and disrupt barge travel to the New Orleans Gulf Port Region puts this advantage in jeopardy. Using transportation costs of specific modes and routes to port of import destinations, we determine that a change in the river’s course would lead to an overall 27.27% increase in total costs of shipping soybeans to Shanghai, Rotterdam, and Veracruz.

This study explores opportunities for increasing access to fresh produce by the emergency food system. Results of extensive interviews of managers of farming operations, food bank distributors, food banks, and food pantries were analyzed using thematic analysis to gain insights into the major challenges to increasing access to fresh produce by the emergency food system. The principal recommendations focus on the need to increase the availability of fresh produce in order to meet expected future growth in demand, better utilizing and communicating grower tax incentives, and investing in building the capacity of the food bank system.

This article provides early insight into the effectiveness of advertising posters designed to promote new cuts of lamb meat with a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) and investigate consumers’ perceptions of them; focus group techniques were utilized as part of the research. Lamb meat is associated with festive consumption and tradition. Regarding the advertising poster and its effectiveness, the majority of participants stated that they were unaware of the new lamb cuts and did not remember the advertising posters. Samples of the new cuts were presented to participants, and they perceived the new cuts to be innovative.

Using a nationally representative survey of U.S. consumers, we analyze demographics, food shopping behaviors, and stated preferences and use logistic regressions to further explore local food preferences and perceptions of farmers’ markets. When asked the definition of “local,” the largest percentage of respondents (28%) selected that local meant “in their county of residence.” Respondents assigned various qualities to farmers’ markets, including freshness, healthiness, tastiness, and locally produced. Having higher income, the presence of a child in the household, reading packaging information, shopping for local food at the supermarket, and closer definitions of local all increased the probability of shopping at the farmers’ market.

We fit a family of differential demand systems to Danish organic food data and use the selected model’s parameters to calculate conditional expenditure and price elasticities for five organic food groups (cereals, meats, dairy products, fruits and vegetables, and other organic foods) to evaluate the implications of the Danish Organic Land Subsidy Scheme for organic farmers. Simulations indicate that, without conversion subsidies, producers of the five organic food groups would have experienced disproportionate changes in revenues due to higher nonsubsidized organic food prices. Producers of meats and other organic foods would lose most in revenues, followed by fruit and vegetable producers.
