- NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CAPACITIES IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT OF SCHOOL MEALS PROGRAM: AFOOD VARIETY-BASED ANALYSIS.Deatri Arumsari Agung,Dan Li,Rodney Asilla,Adrino Mazenda,Sari Ni Putu Wulan Purnama,Minh-Hoang Nguyen &Quan-Hoang Vuong -manuscriptBackground: The school meals program has multiple objectives of education, nutrition, and value transfer. To ensure achieving the goal, total quality management (TQM) is implemented in the school meals program. Supply chain issues pose significant challenges to TQM implementation in the program execution. Aim: This study aims to examine national and international capacities in supply chain management by analyzing the variety offood items delivered through the school meals program. Methods: The Bayesian Mindsponge Framework, combining the reasoning strengths of (...) Mindsponge Theory and inference advantages of Bayesian analysis, was employed on a dataset of 126 government representatives who manage large-scale school meal programs in 126 different countries. Results: Findings showed that the method of obtaining supplies, whether through in-kind donations from local, regional, national sources, or nationalfood reserves and purchasing from neighboring or distant countries, had a significant positive association with the variety offood items included in school meals or snacks. Conversely, obtaining supplies in-kind from neighboring or distant countries had a significant negative association with thefood variety. Additionally, purchasing supplies from local, regional, or nationalfood reserves had an unclear association with thefood variety. Conclusions: Findings underscore the importance of supporting the World Bank and WorldFood Programme’s recommendation to rely more on local resources and capacities. Enhancing supply chain management at the national level is crucial for developing a long-term and sustainable school meals program. (shrink)

- Credibility Engineering in theFood Industry: Linking Science, Regulation, and Marketing in a Corporate Context.Bart Penders &Annemiek P. Nelis -2011 -Science in Context 24 (4):487-515.ArgumentWe expand upon the notion of the “credibility cycle” through a study of credibility engineering by thefood industry. Research and development (R&D) as well as marketing contribute to the credibility of thefood company Unilever and its claims. Innovation encompasses the development, marketing, and sales of products. These are directed towards three distinct audiences: scientific peers, regulators, and consumers. R&D uses scientific articles to create credit for itself amongst peers and regulators. These articles are used to support (...) health claims on products. However, R&D, regulation, and marketing are not separate realms. A single strategy of credibility engineering connects health claims to a specific public through linking that public to a health issue and afood product. (shrink)

- A Cultural Journey to the Agro-Food Crisis: Policy Discourses in the EU.Feliu López-I.-Gelats &J. David Tàbara -2010 -Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics 23 (4):331-344.The agro-food domain in Europe is characterized by the appearance of recurrent unwanted surprises. These events, although causing obvious physical consequences, in essence depart from the expectations of the society. We argue that this unstable situation is best understood as an identity crisis of agriculture rather than as a contingent crisis of a specific economic sector. Thus the present agro-food crisis is in fact a crisis of identity. This is clearly reflected by the cohabitation within the agro-food (...) policy domain of different, often contradictory, policy discourses, namely: free tradism, multifunctionality, and agroecology. All of them try to impose their particular visions. All of them struggle to issue the policy measures they conceive as appropriate. (shrink)
- Transitions toFood Sustainability with Intergenerational and Ecological Justice.Claudia Patricia Alvarez-Ochoa,Jaime Alberto Rendón Acevedo &Yenny Naranjo Tuesta -2024 -Food Ethics 9 (2):1-6.The negative impacts of agriculture on the environment and the inequity that limits access to healthyfood for the entire population impede sustainable development. This article reflects contributions tofood security and alternatives for transitioning to sustainablefood systems. It is concluded thatfood, as a human right, is a complex and transdisciplinary issue, which must be integrated as a transversal axis in the economic, social, environmental, governance, and cultural dimensions to contribute to sustainable development and (...) therefore the convenience of making the transition from the concept offood security to that offood sustainability.

- Effect of social media use onfood safety risk perception through risk characteristics: Exploring a moderated mediation model among people with different levels of science literacy.Jie Zhang,Hsi-Chen Wu,Liang Chen &Youzhen Su -2022 -Frontiers in Psychology 13.Food safety risk is becoming a vital issue for public health, and improving public awareness of FSR through social media is necessary. This study aims to explore specific mechanisms of FSR perception; it first categorizes 19 risk characteristics into two variables, dread and efficacy, and then examines how social media use affects perceived FSR through both variables. Additionally, the study explores the moderating effects of source credibility and science literacy on the mechanisms of FSR perception. Based on a nationwide (...) online survey of more than six salientfood safety issues in China, the study found that exposure tofood safety risk information on social media can help improve perceived FSR based on the proposed “dread–efficacy processing model”, where dread stimulates perceived risk, while efficacy suppresses risk perception. Moreover, source credibility intensifies the effect of social media use on efficacy appraisal, whereas science literacy exerts a “double-weakening” influence on dread appraisal. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed. (shrink)

- Farm workers’food security duringfood price hikes: a political economy of landless rice-wheat farm labourers in Pakistan’s Punjab.Khadija Anjum &Leonora Angeles -forthcoming -Agriculture and Human Values:1-18.Proponents of rising agricultural prices argue that enhanced farm profitability from higher commodity prices could generate positive spillovers for farm labourers by creating greater demand for their labour at higher wages overtime. We studied 75 households of fulltime and seasonal farm labourers engaged in rice-wheat production in Mandi Bahauddin district, Punjab, Pakistan, using cross-sectional survey data and interviews to examine how farm labourers’food security and livelihoods have evolved amid rising market prices of rice-wheat crops and generalized inflation. For (...) a holistic analysis, we combined political economy framework and structural class analysis to unveil the contradictory role of non-market transfers of informal credit, and gifts extended by capitalist farmers in at once enhancing the farm labourers’ short-termfood security while undermining their long-runfood security. The latter occurs through informal credit mobilization, where growing indebtedness among farm labourers leads to wage squeezes. Structural capitalist farmer-labourer class exploitation combines with weak farmgate price response to undermine prospects for a positive trickle-down effect of higherfood prices in the form of higher wages for farm labourers. We interpret these findings in the context of ongoing debates on the welfare implications of risingfood prices for the poor in Global South countries. We propose policies including redistributive land and housing reform, minimum wage regulation, consolidation of public and civil society safety nets, and the creation of alternative low-and-semi-skilled livelihood opportunities.

- “It’s hard to be strategic when your hair is on fire”: alternativefood movement leaders’ motivation and capacity to act.Lesli Hoey &Allison Sponseller -2018 -Agriculture and Human Values 35 (3):595-609.Despite decades of struggle against the industrialfood system, academics still question the impact of the alternativefood movement. We consider whatfood movement leaders themselves say about their motivation to act and their capacity to scale up their impact. Based on semi-structured interviews with 27food movement leaders in Michigan, our findings complicate the established academic narratives that revolve around notions of prefigurative and oppositional politics, and suggest pragmatic strategies that could scale up the pace (...) and scope offood movement impacts. In contrast to the apolitical perspective some scholars see guiding alternativefood movements, local leaders we interviewed see thefood system from a structural-political lens. Though some see strength in fragmentation, most are not under the illusion that they can work alone and aspire to build their collective strength further. Concerns about organizational survival and conflicting views about the goals of thefood movement, however, present ongoing challenges. Ultimately, we argue that there is a middle groundfood movement leaders can walk between prefigurative and oppositional politics, one that still attempts to intentionally change the state, while also maintaining the inventiveness that can come from autonomous, grassroots initiatives. Specifically, interviewees suggested that increased strategic capacity around policy advocacy, criticalfood systems education, and negotiation could help them extend cross-movement networks and mainstream more equitablefood policies, while continuing to experiment with customized solutions.

- How DigitalFood Affects Our Analog Lives: The Impact ofFood Photography on Healthy Eating Behavior.Tjark Andersen,Derek Victor Byrne &Qian Janice Wang -2021 -Frontiers in Psychology 12.Obesity continues to be a global issue. In recent years, researchers have started to question the role of our novel yet ubiquitous use of digital media in the development of obesity. With the recent COVID-19 outbreak affecting almost all aspects of society, many people have moved their social eating activities into the digital space, making the question as relevant as ever. The bombardment of appetizingfood images and photography – colloquially referred to as “food porn” – has become (...) a significant aspect of the digitalfood experience. This review presents an overview of whether and how the viewing, creating, and online sharing of digitalfood photography can influence consumer eating behavior. Moreover, this review provides an outlook of future research opportunities, both to close the gaps in our scientific understanding of the physiological and psychological interaction between digitalfood photography and actual eating behavior, and, from a practical viewpoint, to optimize our digitalfood media habits to support an obesity-preventive lifestyle. We do not want to rest on the idea thatfood imagery’s current prevalence is a core negative influence per se. Instead, we offer the view that active participation infood photography, in conjunction with a selective use offood-related digital media, might contribute to healthy body weight management and enhanced meal pleasure.

More specifically, I explore the vibrancy of these (...) different components that co-create the overall soundscape offood that as such becomes the conductor of Sri Lankan life.Food shapes domestic life by way of its preparation and consumption, and through its cultivation also conducts the collective rhythms at the village level. The conceptualization offood as an assemblage seeks to develop it as a methodology that opens up for a holistic integration and interdisciplinary collaboration. (shrink)
- Farmer satisfaction and shortfood supply chains.Stevens Azima &Patrick Mundler -2023 -Agriculture and Human Values 40 (4):1531-1536.In response to a commentary on our research article (Azima and Mundler in Agric Hum Values 39:791–807, 2022), we address the argument that increased reliance on family farm labor with low or no opportunity costs leads to higher net revenue and greater economic satisfaction. Our response provides a nuanced perspective on this issue in the context of shortfood supply chains. We also examine the share of total farm sales from shortfood supply chains in terms of its (...) effect size on farmer job satisfaction. Finally, we emphasize the need for further research into the sources of occupational satisfaction among farmers involved in such marketing channels. (shrink)

- Exploring power dynamics in afood bank in Bolivia. A case study during the Covid-19 pandemic.Galindo Darío,Gruberg Helga &Dessein Joost -2024 -Food Ethics 9 (2):1-30.Hunger reduction, a universal goal, is often pursued through the concept offood security, which partially shifts the responsibility from national states tofood banks. However, the active involvement of various stakeholders infood banks is frequently overlooked. The first waves of the COVID-19 pandemic prompted the High-Level Panel of Experts onFood Security and Nutrition of the Committee on WorldFood Security to acknowledge the necessity of stakeholders´ participation in achievingfood security. Despite (...) the significant influence of power relations on the operations of afood bank, there is a shortage of evidence on the role of power relations among stakeholders infood banks, particularly in developing countries. Therefore, this paper delves into the power dynamics among actors in afood bank in a metropolitan region in Bolivia (Plurinational State) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and their impact on thefood sovereignty of the actors and the region. Our research was guided by an analytical framework based on Gaventa’s Power Cube and the definition offood sovereignty from the Declaration of Nyéléni. We employed rigorous qualitative research methods, including participatory observation and semi-structured in-depth interviews, over three months in an iterative process. Our findings reveal that power relations can enhance thefood distributed by thefood bank, but they can also limit the agency of actors, particularly the most vulnerable, such as women and children, leading to constraints infood access. These power relations were influenced by trust among actors, their motivations and needs, cultural and spiritual values, and their presence in social media. (shrink)No categories
- Responding to the problem of ‘food security’ in animal cruelty policy debates: building alliances between animal-centred and human-centred work onfood system issues.Brodie Evans &Hope Johnson -2020 -Agriculture and Human Values 37 (1):161-174.Research on ethical issues withinfood systems is often human-centric. As a consequence, animal-centric policy debates where regulatory decisions aboutfood are being made tend to be overlooked byfood scholars and activists. This absence was notable in the recent debates around Australia’s animal live export industry. Using Foucault’s tools, we explore how ‘food security’ is conceptualised and governed within animal cruelty policy debates about the live export trade. The problem offood security produced in (...) these debates shaped Indonesians as ‘victims’ offood insecurity due to the nation’s inability to produce sufficient quantities of protein. This understanding of the problem reproduced the dominant framing offood security as a problem for developing countries addressed by increasing globalfood production. The underlying premise uncritically accepted in Australia’s debates on live export trade was that intensive animal agriculture, and Australia’s live export trade specifically, were essential to alleviating globalfood insecurity. Drawing on our findings, we show how dominant representations of ‘food security’, and related regulatory and technological trajectories, flourish where alliances between animal andfood activists, scholarship, and movements are weak. Accordingly, we argue for agri-food scholars to take up opportunities to contribute to the policy discussions about the treatment of animals to effectively expand the kinds of problems, solutions, and strategies of resistance produced in the discourses surroundingfood system issues.

- Optimal Financing Decision in a ContractFood Supply Chain with Capital Constraint.Ying Luo,Tianyu Deng,Qiang Wei,Guoan Xiao &Qihui Ling -2021 -Complexity 2021:1-17.To solve the financing problem of thefood producers, we consider a two-echelon contractfood supply chain composed of a family farm with capital constraints and afood processing enterprise. With no capital constraints as the benchmark model, we analyze optimal decisions of the family farm and thefood processing enterprise in the case of bank financing with bank participation only and bank financing with “government, bank, and insurance” coparticipation. Then, we discuss how the risk of (...) yield uncertainty influences the optimal decisions and profits of the family farm and thefood processing enterprise under different financing situation. Meanwhile, the reason why the government subsidizes agriculture is explored, and the policy of minimum purchase price of thefood is initiated when the market price is too low. Finally, the numerical examples and sensitivity analysis are presented. The results show that the bank financing with “government, bank, and insurance” coparticipation improves the welfare of supply chain members more obviously than the bank financing with bank participation only; when the rice price is too low, the policy of minimum purchase price offood is initiated, which increases the revenue and the growing enthusiasm of the family farm; the profits of the family farm and thefood processing enterprise will decrease as the risk of yield uncertainty increases in the case of bank financing, and the risk of yield uncertainty will be reduced for the family farm when bank financing with “government, bank, and insurance” coparticipation.

- The Power and Politics of Disgust: Toward a Critical Theory ofFood.Andrew J. Pierce -2014 -Social Philosophy Today 30:131-143.This essay argues, drawing from both philosophical and scientific work on disgust, that since disgust is a universal human emotion with roots in evolutionary adaptation, and since capitalism inevitably produces disgustingfood, a critique of capitalism based upon the category of disgust and centered on thefood system may be more practically effective than traditional critiques of capitalism. This critique forms the basis of what I call a critical theory offood.

Using Charles Sanders Peirce’s famous essay on The Fixation of Belief (1877), this paper examines whatfood habits we hold with tenacity, which beliefs about what to eat are imposed on us by authority, when our choices are based on a priori reasoning, and where we rely on scientific logic when we chooseNo categories
- Dirty Bread, Forced Feeding, and Tea Parties: the Uses and Abuses ofFood in Nineteenth-Century Insane Asylums.Madeline Bourque Kearin -2020 -Journal of Medical Humanities 43 (1):95-116.Nineteenth-century psychiatrists ascribed to a model of health that was predicated on the existence of objective and strictly defined laws of nature. The allegedly “natural” rules governing the production of consumption offood, however, were structured by a set of distinctively bourgeois moral values that demonized over-indulgence and intemperance, encouraged self-discipline and productivity, and treated gentility as an index of social worth. Accordingly, the asylum acted not only as a therapeutic instrument but also as a moral machine that was (...) designed to remake lazy, indolent transgressors into useful, “decorous” citizens. Because the theory and mechanics underlying this machine seemed straightforward and self-evident to psychiatrists, they were confounded when the asylum failed to translate its ideals into reality. While psychiatrists tended to blame this failure on the intractable immorality and weakness of individual patients, particularly paupers and immigrants, a review of the various meanings and uses offood in the hospital reveals the fault lines that ran through the asylum’s ideological structure.
