Abstract The repurposing of surplus food and food processing by-products is a key aspect of the shift towards a circular bioeconomy. In the Netherlands, food supply chain actors are already working towards making better use of agri-food surpluses to improve food security and resource efficiency. By analysing the experiences of these actors, this study aims to identify the current state of the sector and highlight barriers and enablers of successful food waste valorisation. Based on a phenomenological analysis of 16 in-depth unstructured interviews with participants from the Netherlands, we empirically demonstrate that supply chain actors involved in food waste valorisation consider local embedding, societal perception, and food safety to be important aspects of their work. They often grapple with legislative and logistical uncertainties and face various ethical dilemmas such as having to pay for products that were once considered waste. Building on these findings, we propose that experienced professionals with a penchant for sustainability can play the role of ‘transition brokers’ as the food system moves towards a circular way of operating. We also posit that private standards and voluntary agreements could be a way for the sector to better manage the various bottlenecks that are characteristic of food waste valorisation endeavours.
剩余食品和食品加工副产品的再利用是向循环生物经济转变的一个关键方面。在荷兰,粮食供应链行为体已经在努力更好地利用剩余农产品,以提高粮食安全和资源效率。通过分析这些参与者的经验,本研究旨在确定该部门的现状,并强调成功实现食物浪费价值增值的障碍和推动因素。基于对来自荷兰的参与者进行的16次深度非结构化访谈的现象学分析,我们实证地证明,参与食物浪费价值评估的供应链参与者将当地嵌入、社会感知和食品安全视为他们工作的重要方面。他们经常与立法和后勤方面的不确定性作斗争,并面临各种道德困境,例如必须为曾经被视为废物的产品付费。在这些发现的基础上,我们建议经验丰富、对可持续发展有兴趣的专业人士可以在食品系统走向循环运作的过程中扮演“过渡经纪人”的角色。我们还认为,私人标准和自愿协议可能是该行业更好地管理食品垃圾定价工作所特有的各种瓶颈的一种方式。

Abstract Agriculture is a major source of food and income for poor and rural households living in developing countries; yet, agricultural systems are increasingly threatened by changing climate conditions that compromise their productivity and resilience. Over time, international aid has provided support to the agricultural systems of recipient countries, though the literature is not unanimous in confirming their effectiveness. To shed light on this issue, the purpose of this work is to assess the efficacy of these aid in increasing the agricultural productivity of recipient nations, employing original approaches. First, to adopt a climate change perspective, we conduct our analysis using a recent classification adopted by the Official Development Assistance—the Rio Markers—which distinguishes aid between adaptation and mitigation to climate change. Second, taking into account that the starting conditions of recipient countries can significantly impact aid effectiveness, we classify 115 developing countries into four subgroups according to their vulnerability and readiness to climate change, as evaluated by the ND-Gain indicators. We perform a two-stage instrumental variable approach within the context of panel models to investigate the potential growth-enhancing impact that different types of agricultural aid may exert on the agriculture Total Factor Productivity in recipient countries. Our findings show that aid to agriculture, especially adaptation aid, has a positive impact on agricultural productivity growth. We also observe that countries with a higher climate readiness benefit the most from aid, whereas countries highly vulnerable and heavily dependent on the agricultural sector are less able to leverage the aid received to the same extent. Overall, our analysis confirms the importance of international aid to the agricultural sector and suggests that accurate impact assessment analyses should also consider a climate perspective to distinguish adaptation from mitigation aid.
农业是生活在发展中国家的贫困和农村家庭的主要食物和收入来源;然而,农业系统正日益受到气候条件变化的威胁,影响其生产力和恢复力。随着时间的推移,国际援助为受援国的农业系统提供了支持,尽管文献在确认其有效性方面并不一致。为了阐明这个问题,这项工作的目的是评估这些援助在采用原始方法提高受援国农业生产力方面的效力。首先,从气候变化的角度来看,我们使用官方发展援助最近采用的分类——里约标志——来进行分析,该分类区分了适应和减缓气候变化的援助。其次,考虑到受援国的初始条件会显著影响援助的有效性,我们根据发展中国家对气候变化的脆弱性和准备程度,将115个发展中国家分为四个亚组,并通过ND-Gain指标进行评估。在面板模型的背景下,我们采用两阶段工具变量方法来研究不同类型的农业援助可能对受援国农业全要素生产率产生的潜在增长促进影响。我们的研究结果表明,对农业的援助,特别是适应援助,对农业生产率的提高有积极的影响。我们还注意到,气候准备程度较高的国家从援助中受益最多,而高度脆弱和严重依赖农业部门的国家则无法在相同程度上利用所接受的援助。总体而言,我们的分析证实了国际援助对农业部门的重要性,并建议准确的影响评估分析还应考虑气候角度,以区分适应援助和缓解援助。

Abstract Meat-based diets are still the norm, and vegans and vegetarians represent only a small minority of the population. A transition, respectively, behavioural change towards a diet with less meat can only occur by adopting a positive attitude towards dietary changes based on reasons and motivations. The main aim of this study is to apply the meat attachment scale (MEAS) in Germany in order to analyse if this construct is a barrier towards a diet with less meat in this country. For this purpose, the impact of meat attachment on the trust in different protein alternatives (plant-based, insects, cultured meat) and related food processing technologies is analysed. The findings reveal that a high level of meat attachment goes along with lower trust in plant-based proteins. Similar holds for cultured meat and insect proteins. Thus it appears that, at least for the moment, cultured meat or proteins from insects are not a logical substitute for the heavily meat attached consumer. Furthermore, in the analysis, we considered if meat attachment as measured by the MEAS is correlated with other scales/preferences such as food neophobia, social trust, and attitude towards respective preference for organic products. Literature shows that all mentioned constructs impact the acceptance, preference or trust in more sustainable food product innovation, respectively, more sustainable food processing techniques. The outcome of the correlation analysis demonstrated that in particular food neophobia and meat attachment are not correlated with each other. That is, the MEAS represents a predictor for trust in food (processing) technologies as e.g. plant-based proteins or cultured meat that is independent of the neophobia construct.
以肉类为基础的饮食仍然是常态,纯素食者和素食者只占人口的一小部分。相应地,只有基于理由和动机对饮食变化采取积极态度,才能实现向少吃肉饮食的行为转变。本研究的主要目的是在德国应用肉类依恋量表(MEAS),以分析这种结构是否在这个国家成为减少肉类饮食的障碍。为此,分析了肉类依恋对不同蛋白质替代品(植物、昆虫、人造肉)和相关食品加工技术的信任的影响。研究结果表明,高度依赖肉类的人对植物性蛋白质的信任度较低。同样的道理也适用于人造肉和昆虫蛋白质。因此,至少在目前看来,人造肉或昆虫蛋白质并不能合理地替代那些严重依赖肉类的消费者。此外,在分析中,我们考虑了MEAS测量的肉类依恋是否与其他量表/偏好相关,如食物恐惧症、社会信任和对各自偏好有机产品的态度。文献表明,上述所有构式分别影响对更可持续的食品产品创新、更可持续的食品加工技术的接受度、偏好或信任。相关性分析的结果表明,特别是新食物恐惧症和肉类依恋之间不存在相关性。也就是说,MEAS代表了对食品(加工)技术的信任预测,例如植物性蛋白质或培养肉,独立于新恐惧症结构。

Abstract This study identifies changes in fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption habits during the COVID-19 pandemic in Quito-Ecuador and observe relationships regarding household income and the relevance of FV nutritional value. The study used an online survey among urban residents (n = 1093) in Quito-Ecuador, regarding FV consumption patterns during the lockdown along with household socioeconomic status. A multiple response logistic model was used to analyse changes in FV eating habits across four income categories. Income had a statistically significant effect over the healthy food consumption of FV for the low- and high-income category. Families did not change eating habits nor decide to maintain a diet based on differences of income. Further, approximately two thirds of the families increased FV consumption during the lockdown. Eating habits changed during the lockdown of urban households in Ecuador. Income explained changes in FV consumption for low- and high-income households but did not for the middle-income group. Households that purchased more FV had a higher perception of their own healthy eating habits. The consumption of FV with high content of vitamin C increased, however, families did not purchase products with the highest vitamin-C content.
本研究确定了基多-厄瓜多尔2019冠状病毒病大流行期间水果和蔬菜(FV)消费习惯的变化,并观察了家庭收入与FV营养价值相关性之间的关系。该研究对基多-厄瓜多尔的城市居民(n = 1093)进行了一项在线调查,调查内容涉及封锁期间的FV消费模式以及家庭社会经济地位。采用多反应逻辑模型分析了四种收入类别中FV饮食习惯的变化。收入对低收入和高收入人群的FV健康食品消费有统计学显著影响。家庭不会因为收入的不同而改变饮食习惯或决定维持饮食。此外,大约三分之二的家庭在封锁期间增加了FV消费。在厄瓜多尔城市家庭封锁期间,饮食习惯发生了变化。收入解释了低收入和高收入家庭FV消费的变化,但没有解释中等收入群体。购买更多FV的家庭对自己的健康饮食习惯有更高的认识。维生素C含量高的食品消费量增加,但家庭没有购买维生素C含量最高的产品。

Abstract Securing the availability of healthy food at affordable prices is of fundamental public interest. The formerly prevailing paradigm of the absolute superiority of free trade in the global food market is changing in favour of re-localization after vulnerabilities were exposed by the war in Ukraine, the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent disorder in the global food market. Re-localization of food production could also have a positive impact on the environment, public health and sustainable local development. This paper analyses the trends and current conditions in the Croatian food market regarding the potential economic benefits of re-localization of food production. The purpose of the paper is to estimate the economic benefits of food re-localization in Croatia. The method of input–output analysis is applied to test hypotheses. Direct, indirect and induced effects of re-localization of food production are estimated and the results compared with other countries. The results confirm previous findings that re-localization of food production could stimulate the domestic economy. The multipliers estimated for Croatian agricultural and food production do not deviate significantly from the results published for other economies. Output multipliers related to the Croatian food sector are slightly lower than those estimated for new European Union members, while multipliers for the Croatian agriculture sector are in line with those estimated for the same group of countries. It is found that expenditures on domestic food products induce significantly larger economic effects in Croatia than expenditures on imported food. Import substitution and re-localization would also positively affect public finances. Re-localizing 10% of imports of agri-food products could increase the Croatian GDP by 0.32%. The employment effects would be even larger since labour intensity in the food and agriculture sectors is high.
确保以可承受的价格获得健康食品是基本的公共利益。在乌克兰战争、2019冠状病毒病大流行和最近全球粮食市场混乱暴露出脆弱性之后,过去盛行的全球粮食市场自由贸易绝对优势的范式正在发生变化,有利于重新定位。粮食生产重新本地化也可能对环境、公共卫生和地方可持续发展产生积极影响。本文分析了克罗地亚食品市场关于食品生产重新本地化的潜在经济效益的趋势和现状。本文的目的是估计克罗地亚食品重新本地化的经济效益。采用投入产出分析法对假设进行检验。估计了粮食生产再本地化的直接、间接和诱发效应,并与其他国家的结果进行了比较。研究结果证实了先前的研究结果,即粮食生产的重新本地化可以刺激国内经济。克罗地亚农业和粮食生产的乘数估计值与其他经济体公布的结果相差不大。与克罗地亚粮食部门有关的产出乘数略低于欧洲联盟新成员国的估计,而克罗地亚农业部门的乘数与同一组国家的估计一致。研究发现,克罗地亚国内食品支出对经济的影响明显大于进口食品支出。进口替代和再本地化也会对公共财政产生积极影响。将10%的农产品进口重新本地化可以使克罗地亚的GDP增加0.32%。由于粮食和农业部门的劳动强度很高,对就业的影响甚至会更大。

Abstract Around 75% of tropical deforestation in the XXI century has been driven by the expansion of agriculture and forest plantations. Since 1990s, palm oil has been standing for a critical global traded product in terms of embodied deforestation. The European Union (EU) is one of the major players in terms of embodied deforestation linked to palm oil consumption. By adopting a biophysical accounting approach, the study: (1) investigated the palm oil imports between 2000 and 2020 by four EU countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea, (2) estimated the share of imports driven by the demand from the food, oleochemicals, and energy sectors, and (3) quantified land, deforestation, and CO 2 emissions associated with Land-Use Change (LUC) embodied in trade. Different trade profiles have emerged among the four importing countries. Italy and Spain showed a major direct trade link with producing countries, while France and Germany have significant connections with non-producing countries (i.e. intermediate trade partners). Overall, our results show that, following different trends, leading consumption sectors have shifted from the food towards the energy sector. Consequently, the growing demand for palm oil as a feedstock for biofuel production has determined increased environmental impacts in South-East Asia. Since 2000, the total embodied land footprint has increased four-fold, while, over the period considered, according to our second and the third attribution approaches (i.e. historical and rapid-conversion), between 5–78 m 2 of deforestation and 28–445 kg CO 2 emissions associated with LUC activities have been incorporated in the per-capita consumption of palm oil and its co-products in the leading European economies. Moreover, according to the first attribution approach (i.e. concession-level) and the allocation by sector, we concluded that, between 2004 and 2016, the German food sector is the one that embodied the larger deforestation footprint, followed by the Italian and Spanish energy sectors.
21世纪约75%的热带森林砍伐是由农业和森林种植园的扩张造成的。自20世纪90年代以来,棕榈油一直代表着一种重要的全球贸易产品,就具体的森林砍伐而言。就与棕榈油消费有关的具体森林砍伐而言,欧洲联盟(欧盟)是主要参与者之一。通过采用生物物理核算方法,本研究:(1)调查了2000年至2020年间四个欧盟国家(德国、法国、意大利和西班牙)从印度尼西亚、马来西亚和巴布亚新几内亚进口棕榈油的情况;(2)估计了食品、油脂化学品和能源部门需求驱动的进口份额;(3)量化了与土地利用变化(LUC)相关的土地、森林砍伐和二氧化碳排放。四个进口国之间出现了不同的贸易状况。意大利和西班牙与生产国有主要的直接贸易联系,而法国和德国与非生产国(即中间贸易伙伴)有重要的联系。总体而言,我们的结果表明,在不同的趋势下,主要消费部门已经从食品部门转向能源部门。因此,作为生物燃料生产原料的棕榈油需求的增长决定了东南亚环境影响的增加。自2000年以来,实际土地足迹总量增加了四倍,而在此期间,根据我们的第二种和第三种归因方法(即历史和快速转换),在欧洲主要经济体中,与土地利用和土地利用活动相关的5-78平方米的森林砍伐和28-445公斤的二氧化碳排放已被纳入棕榈油及其副产品的人均消费。此外,根据第一归因方法(即特许权水平)和部门分配,我们得出结论,在2004年至2016年期间,德国食品部门体现了更大的森林砍伐足迹,其次是意大利和西班牙的能源部门。

Moreover, according to the first attribution approach (i.e. concession-level) and the allocation by sector, we concluded that, between 2004 and 2016, the German food sector is the one that embodied the larger deforestation footprint, followed by the Italian and Spanish energy sectors.","PeriodicalId":37688,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural and Food Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134911856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract This study aims to foresee the future of organic farming in the smallholder agricultural systems of the Valencian Region (Spain), as well as to identify how different drivers of change may affect such a future. To do so, two qualitative methodologies were combined: The Delphi method and the participatory scenario development. The results estimate an upward trend for organic farming area and sales, which would contribute to a greener and more sustainable economy in the region, a slight drop in organic versus conventional food prices, the entrance of large operators and a “dualisation” of the models of production and consumption of organic food. The key role that the public sector plays for the future of organic farming is underlined by the stakeholders, who suggest that the civil society may counterbalance the lack of public support by way of collective action and an increasing awareness about health and sustainability. This study concludes by highlighting the main findings obtained, both regarding the expected evolution of organic agriculture in the region and the key factors that would influence such evolution, emphasising the applicability of the results to other similar smallholder Mediterranean farming systems.
本研究旨在预测巴伦西亚地区(西班牙)小农农业系统中有机农业的未来,并确定不同的变化驱动因素如何影响这种未来。为此,我们结合了两种定性方法:德尔菲法和参与性情景开发。结果估计有机农业面积和销售将呈上升趋势,这将有助于该地区更环保、更可持续的经济,有机食品价格相对于传统食品价格略有下降,大型运营商的进入以及有机食品生产和消费模式的“二元化”。利益攸关方强调了公共部门对有机农业的未来发挥的关键作用,他们建议民间社会可以通过集体行动和提高对健康和可持续性的认识来抵消缺乏公众支持的问题。本研究最后强调了所获得的主要发现,包括该地区有机农业的预期演变和影响这种演变的关键因素,强调了结果对其他类似的地中海小农农业系统的适用性。
