Download or read book Functional Foods written by R. Chadwick and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Europiiische Akademie is concerned with the study of scientific and technolog ical advances for the individual, society and the natural environment. The work of the academy is interdisciplinary drawing on relevant academic disciplines so far as they can inform the debate on consequences and suggest solutions. This book is dedicated to the issue of Functional Foods, a rather topical issue with important ramifications for the overall quality of life. It is the result of the Europiiische Akademie's working group "Functional Foods" which worked from January 2001 to June 2003. Since the times of Hippocrates, we view "food as our medicine, and medicine as our food"; a view that is confirmed by nowadays science which agrees that diet is related to health, well-being and the prevention of disease. At the same time, food related diseases have reached epidemic proportions in western societies while obe sity is spreading rapidly in all parts and strata of modern society. The cost for the health system is significant while the reduction in quality of life is immeasurable.

Download or read book Handbook of Agri Food Law in China Germany European Union written by Ines Härtel and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a new and differentiated overview of Agri-Food Law against the background of national and global integration of markets, and compares for the first time important aspects of the agricultural, environmental and food law of China and Germany / the European Union. In addition to the basics, it discusses a wide range of issues, such as the respective legal regulatory structures for food security, food safety, geographical indications of origin, climate protection, fertilizers, plant protection products, genetic engineering, water protection, soil protection, land resources and organic farming. In addition, it addresses key environmental impacts and developments in order to create integrated value chains. The increasing fusion of upstream and downstream areas is becoming apparent from primary production, to the refinement and trade up level, and even to consumption. Agri-Food Law is now productively taking these important developments into account with regard to the aforementioned countries.

Download or read book Looking east looking west written by Bill Slee and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-04 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents a unique collection of European and Asian perspectives on the production, trade and consumption of high quality food. The rapidly growing demand for organic and quality food in Europe imposes new challenges on competing food value chains. Europe, as the biggest worldwide food importer, attracts many developing and developed countries in Asia. Prospering Chinese and Thai food markets offer new opportunities for European operators. Wealthy and informed consumers on both continents search for trustworthy high quality food products. Farmers, operators and retailers from distant cultures are coping with different standards, facing the ever increasing necessity for mutual understanding. This publication is the output of Bean-Quorum, a European funded Asia-Link project. Bean-Quorum represents a consolidated network of researchers working together with the business sector and NGOs to enhance European Asian understanding about organic and quality food. This book describes global trends in organic and quality food trade and connects them with recent developments in Asian and European market structures. Selected case studies illustrate the impact of organic and quality food production on topics ranging from sustainable rural development, to the potential of exotic new plant varieties to purchase decisions of European or Asian retail managers. Selected European markets are mirrored by the situation in Chinese and Thai markets. Finally, environmental issues concerning global trade of quality food are addressed.

Download or read book Preference Heterogeneity and Willingness To Pay for Organic Food Products in Germany written by Rebecca Illichmann and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2014-03-07 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade, the market for organic food products in Germany has grown steadily, as consumers become increasingly aware of credence characteristics of food products. The primary goal of this study is to integrate psychometric data into a choice experiment to examine preference heterogeneity among consumers and their willingness-to-pay for organic products. In particular, the role of trust and gender are considered in analysing both preferences and willingness-to-pay for organic products. The results of the mixed logit models reveal significant heterogeneity in preferences among consumers for the products examined. The second focus of this study is the effect of starting point bias on the willingness-to-pay estimates obtained. The use of different prices in the first choice set results in different distributions of choices and significantly different preferences and willingness-to-pay estimates in two otherwise identical choice set designs. The results of the latent class models indicate that consumers’ trust perceptions tend to significantly influence their preferences for organic food products. The findings of this study indicate that some consumer groups are willing to pay high price premiums for specific organic food products and, to some extent, for locally produced food. As there is consumer segmentation based on varying levels of trust and due to the heterogeneous preferences of the consumers, organic food marketing should increase its use of suitable communication strategies concerning quality attributes.

This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Im deutschen Lebensmitteleinzelhandel lassen sich seit einigen Jahren zwei unterschiedliche Trends beobachten. Auf der einen Seite kampft die Branche mit stagnierenden Umsatzzahlen und auf der anderen nimmt die Verkaufsflache insgesamt standig zu. Um bei dieser momentanen Entwicklung den Kunden auch zukunftig noch zu erreichen sind Produktinnovationen, Produkteliminationen und die Art der Produktprasentation von grosser Wichtigkeit. Die Anpassung des Produktes an die sich andernden Nutzenerwartungen und Verbrauchsgewohnheiten der Kunden stehen dabei im Vordergrund. Speziell am Beispiel des Biomarktes ist zu beobachten, wie sich die Mentalitat des Verbrauchers hinsichtlich des Preis-Leistungs-Verhaltnisses geandert hat. Diesen Schub verdankt der Biomarkt nicht nur allein den zahlreichen Lebensmittelskandalen, sondern auch einer Veranderung des Verbraucherverhaltens hin zu einer gesunderen Ernahrung. Hauptaugenmerk in dieser Arbeit soll die Vermarktung von biologischen Lebensmitteln in Deutschland sein."

Download or read book The Release of Genetically Modified Microorganisms REGEM 2 written by Duncan E.S. Stewart-Tull and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If ripple effect is a measure of greatness in scientific discovery then GEMMOs have a lot going for them and this book dramatically illustrates the risks associated with advances being made by researchers to mobilize and control the power of the microorganism in the world's fight to perfect nature and fmd remedies for its imperfections. In the field of genetic science it is abundantly clear that so much more can be achieved through prevention rather than cure and that the indirect kill, by reason of its logic is a much more powerful weapon for winning results. Nevertheless the dilemma facing politicians arises over whether man should tamper with something which is God-given such as Radioactivity and Genetic endowment. The Roman Catholic church fmds difficulty in accepting the proposition that what is God given can be treated as a product under human control and maybe that is why recently half a century of genetic research on a strain of bees resistant to a devastating parasite at the Buckfastleigh Benedictine Monastery has inexplicably ceased whilst verging on scientific success.(l) The Anglican Community on the other hand does not see the sacrosanctity of Radioactivity and Genetic material as a bar to man-manipulation with appropriate safeguards.
