Progress in science, technology, and industry has changed human lifestyle and especially food consumption habits. For many families, especially in large urban centers, fast food consumption has become routine. To determine factors affecting the frequency of fast food consumption, this study surveyed 396 families using Poisson and negative binomial regression models. The main reasons that households consume fast food are a shortage of time and for entertainment. Policy makers could use social marketing tools to control the growing trend of fast food consumption.

Organic wheat production is generally profitable in the West, but farmers considering organic conversion or maintaining current organic fields face uncertainty due to significant price variations over time. The ability to predict price movements in this market is complicated by the limited availability of pricing data as well as missing observations. This study evaluates three methods to impute missing price observations. Additionally, we investigate short- and long-run relationships between organic and conventional wheat prices to understand whether conventional prices can help to predict organic wheat prices. Results indicate that conventional wheat prices influence organic prices, but only in the short run.

As fresh produce growers look to expand their markets to include lower-income consumers, they must overcome consumer perceptions that direct markets, such as farmers’ markets, are expensive and elitist. The absence of pricing data makes comparisons very difficult, which perpetuates misconceptions. This study uses fresh produce pricing data collected at farmers’ markets and grocery stores in northern Utah in Summer 2016 to illustrate actual pricing differences across outlets. Results show that, on average, farmers’ markets are more expensive, but location and produce item greatly influence price, especially for organics. Locally owned grocery stores were less expensive than national brands.

The United States is a major supplier in the world pecan market. Using grower-level pecan price data from the 2005–2016 seasons, we estimate pecan market integration patterns among Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, and Louisiana using causality structures identified through cutting-edge machine-learning methods. Current pecan price received by growers in Texas is a direct cause of those in Oklahoma, Georgia, and Louisiana. Past-period grower-level pecan price in Georgia either directly or indirectly influences the current price in other states. These findings are useful for businesses and the government in order to price and promote marketing of pecan.

Demand for goat meat currently depends on foreign-born immigrants, but current U.S. immigration policies may have negative impacts on immigrant populations, which may affect the meat goat industry. Data from a consumer survey conducted in Georgia was used to determine the potential domestic market for value-added goat meat products among foreign- and nativeborn Americans. About 56% of participants who had never tasted goat meat expressed willingness to taste if the grocery stores gave out goat meat samples. Current goat meat consumers were more willing to pay for locally grown, grass fed, and organic goat meat.

The paper examines the importance of including specialty and ethnic food stores in defining and identifying food deserts in a multi-ethnic suburban neighborhood. The paper uses an in-store food availability survey and GIS techniques to test the hypothesis that the availability of healthy and affordable food options will be considerably under-reported when not accounting for ethnic and specialty food stores in food desert analysis. Although a relatively large portion of the study area remains a food desert, ethnic and specialty food stores significantly offset the lack of supermarkets and grocery stores in providing healthy and affordable food options.

Agriculture accounts for 17% of total Bangladeshi GDP. Bananas represent 20% of all fruits crops produced in Bangladesh, with a domestic market share of 36%. This study analyzes banana production, marketing, distribution, and value chain functions and relationships. The study focused on the major banana producing area of Bangladesh. Our results show that the major problems are lack of good agricultural practices, which affects overall quality, distribution, and marketing of this important fruit.

For the past ten years, the National Restaurant Association’s “What’s Hot” Culinary Forecasts have placed local and hyper-local produce, meat, and seafood near the top of the list. As a result, serving “local food” has become a necessity for many restaurants. The two major supply chain channels from local farms to chefs are direct connections, with a farm delivering to a restaurant or chefs shopping at a local farmers market, and through distributors. This research compares fresh produce supply chain relationships, efficiency, and value to chain members when local farm products travel from farms directly to chefs or via produce distributors. Existing research on the farm-to-restaurant supply chain has been confined to understanding chefs’ perceptions (Murphy and Smith 2009), but the entire supply chain and the value for chain members derived from intra-chain information exchange and collaboration must be considered (Dunning 2016; Kwon and Suh, 2004). Our research consists of first-person interviews with chefs, farmers, and a collaborating food service distributor as well as observations of meetings between these three groups of actors over a one-year time period. Additionally, we collect the post-harvest costs and returns to farmers for each distribution channel. The aims of the research are to understand what factors influence chefs in selecting direct versus intermediated local products and under what circumstances direct versus intermediated supply chains most benefit small and mid-scale producers.
在过去的十年里，国家餐馆协会的“什么是热门”烹饪预测将本地和超本地的农产品、肉类和海鲜放在了列表的前列。因此，供应“本地食物”已成为许多餐馆的必需品。从当地农场到厨师的两个主要供应链渠道是直接连接，一个是农场送货到餐馆或厨师在当地农贸市场购物，另一个是通过分销商。本研究比较了新鲜农产品供应链的关系、效率和供应链成员的价值，当当地农产品从农场直接到厨师手中或通过农产品分销商。现有的关于农场到餐厅供应链的研究仅限于了解厨师的看法(Murphy and Smith 2009)，但必须考虑整个供应链以及链内信息交换和协作为链成员带来的价值(Dunning 2016;权、徐，2004)。我们的研究包括对厨师、农民和合作食品服务分销商的第一人称访谈，以及对这三组参与者在一年时间内的会议的观察。此外，我们为每个分销渠道收取收获后的成本和农民的回报。研究的目的是了解是什么因素影响厨师选择直接与中间的本地产品，以及在什么情况下直接与中间的供应链最有利于中小型生产者。

Declining real farm income, increased development, and loss of government agricultural programs have created pressure for smaller-scale farms to enhance farm income, often through diversification into agritourism. This study examines farm shops as a farm diversification strategy by investigating farm shop managers as entrepreneurs and highlighting the strategies and skills required for success through interviews with farm shop owners in the UK. Results of the qualitative analysis show that agricultural entrepreneurs must create a unique identity or brand for their operation, build networks, develop knowledge and talent, and build business acumen in order to creatively overcome obstacles and manage diverse operations.
