Founded in 2016, the Mato Grosso Meat Institute is an autonomous social service formed by representatives of the farm production sector, of the industry, of society and of the state government to promote the meat produced in the state of Mato Grosso, one of the most important states for Brazilian agriculture and livestock production. Despite several promising projects in the pipeline on the topics of information sharing, sustainable insertion of smallholders and other, IMAC still has not reached a protagonist role in Mato Grosso beef chain. With several changes and trends emerging in consumer food behavior, its president (Caio Penido), is still looking for the best strategies to improve Mato Grosso’s competitive advantage and align all the agents involved to fulfill IMAC’s “vision for the chain”.

A recent publication reports that the number of active Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) in self-custodial wallets has grown exponentially in the past years across several industries. This study analyzed 65 token-based use cases in the wine sector. It was found that most current applications revolve around the downstream part of the supply chain. The research has also demonstrated that the various solutions involving fungible tokens and NFTs can be classified into three categories. Consequently, a taxonomy has been introduced. Furthermore, it was identified that digital tokens can solve current challenges in the wine industry related to provenance, proof of origin, authenticity, and fraud prevention. At the same time, the utilization of tokens enables an extended consumer interaction with the product. Managers potentially considering connecting their physical products and services with digital tokens can obtain insights towards their use in the web3 economy.

This paper theoretically models and empirically assesses the sociotechnical transition process experienced by a group of producers in southern Bahia State (Brazil). Driven by the search for economic sustainability in cocoa production, this group has achieved full sustainability through production chain upgrading, enabling the agroforestry system’s (cabruca) continuity in their properties. In order to understand how and why this process happened, our conceptual model advances on the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) framework, as it is an applied way of analyzing different niche transformations within the same regime, a typical situation in agrifood systems in emerging markets. Our analyses and empirical evidence suggest that interpersonal relationships play a crucial role in this process, particularly developing concepts and strategies, and in establishing operational structures. Rules and structure formalization may replace interpersonal relationships, as observed when the transition goes forward. Our findings evidence knowledge gathering, cooperation among actors, and information and support exchanging as critical factors to trigger the niche transition process.

Farmer cooperatives represent a vertical coordination strategy aimed at reducing transaction costs and facilitating the adoption of technologies among farmers. In their roles, cooperatives undertake internal coordination of activities which may include enforcement measures, provision of quality inputs, internal control, and negotiation of favourable terms of exchange with buyers. However, limited attention has been given to understanding how cooperatives’ performance in the internal coordination of activities either promotes or hinders the continued adoption of agricultural technologies among cooperative members. We conducted a case study of the dairy sector in West Java, Indonesia, and utilised a mixed-method approach combining insight from dairy cooperative board members and dairy farming households. Our results suggest that the dis-adoption of dairy technologies is rooted in weak or non-existent monitoring and enforcement mechanisms to ensure input and output quality, the absence of price incentives, and inadequate provision of extension services. Furthermore, the lack of tight monitoring and control mechanisms reduces the cooperatives’ bargaining power with input providers and milk buyers. Unless these issues within the cooperatives are addressed, continued adoption of recommended dairy farming practices by smallholder farmers will not be sustained.

Agritourism is considered an effective strategy for revitalizing traditional agriculture, enhancing rural economics, and achieving sustainable livelihoods. While the processes of how the conventional agrarian industry has taken up diversified management and affiliated with the creative supply of tourist services remain unclear, the theoretical interpretations of the diversification processes have yet to be articulated. This study explores agritourism innovation and proposes a conceptual framework of agritourism diversification built upon the connotations of integration of production sectors and the multi-functionality of rural and land resources. Different styles of agritourism innovation detail the progress of agritourism diversification and how various functions of farm resources are initiated and capitalized upon. Results show that diversification through agritourism has brought considerable economic returns to farms, and increased their resilience in the face of possible business challenges.

Indoor agriculture is an innovative and environmentally sustainable approach to high-quality food production, utilizing advanced technology to reduce water usage by 95% and achieve a 100-fold increase in production per unit of land compared to conventional farming systems. These enclosed systems provide year-round production of pesticide-free fresh food, even in cities with less favourable climates, addressing food deserts and creating employment opportunities in urban areas. However, the industry faces significant challenges, primarily stemming from substantial investment and operating costs, exacerbated by a limited understanding of the input-output relationship within these systems. This study employs a bioeconomic framework to establish a foundational production function based on growth cycle duration (time) and required growing area (space). Through a partial budget analysis, a 19-day production schedule was identified to provide the highest contribution margin to profits. Results set the minimum size of this hypothetical lettuce indoor farm at 273 m2, rendering it suitable for installation in urban areas. The farm harvests 118 kg per day, within an 800 m2 growing area distributed across four vertically stacked shelves. Estimates of economic output sensitivity to exogenous factors in the US context are also presented, along with a comparison between cost-minimizing and revenue-maximizing strategies.

The beekeeping sector plays an important role in maintaining biodiversity and the ecosystem, in addition to its production function. The European beekeeping sector is facing a number of constraints that make it difficult to operate, and the Covid-19 pandemic has posed new challenges for beekeepers. The purpose of the study is to examine the resilience of beekeeping businesses to the most important problems affecting beekeepers and the Covid-19 pandemic. The research analyses the role of marketing and profitability and how they influence the resilience. Variables obtained from online questioning of a representative sample of Hungarian beekeepers (N = 297). Cluster analysis was used to validate the results. Using a Two-step clustering model, three clusters of beekeepers were identified: a non-resilient; a resilient, but not proactive and not very profitable and a resilient, proactive and profitable cluster. According to the research, the resilience of beekeepers is shaped by several factors. Well-trained, long-established beekeepers who seek to differentiate their products from their competitors’ overcome the difficulties caused by the pandemic and other beekeeping problems much more easily. Very important factors resulting in remarkable business resilience are the number of used subsidies and the number of cooperations.

The packaging practices of HelloFresh have come under scrutiny in recent years as a result of the company’s remarkable expansion success. Customers have cancelled their meal-kit subscriptions due to the excessive use of plastic packaging for ingredients. In response to these events, HelloFresh began to seek alternatives to replace plastic packaging for its ingredients, but ultimately found that the currently available packaging technology makes it impossible to eliminate plastic completely. HelloFresh is therefore looking for ways to communicate with customers about its sustainability message and their actions to be cost-effective, retain food-safety, and foster sustainability with regard to packaging while making innovative changes in its packaging processes. In the current stage of the sustainability transition for packaging materials in which no ready-at-hand solutions are available, it is crucial for HelloFresh to strike a balance between converting its packaging practices to be more sustainable and communicating this message effectively to its customers.
