Download or read book Market analysis of organic foods in the Nordic and Baltic countries written by Anna Pekala and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The project was initiated in March 2019, deriving from a request from The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration who handles the project management on the Nordic-Baltic project ”Nordic Nutrition the Green Way”. The project is funded by the Nordic Working Group for Diet, Food & Toxicology (NKMT) under the Nordic Council of Ministers. The purpose of this report is to provide an overall picture of the organic food and beverage market in the Nordic and Baltic countries. This includes a review of historical developments within the sales of organic foods and beverages across the main sales channels, imports/exports and organic agricultural production. Furthermore, we give an overview of political incentives in the area of organic food, consumer profiles and attitudes, and provide an outlook on the future trends and expected developments within the Nordic countries. The report also includes an outlook for the Nordic region and globally towards 2030. Lastly, the report includes a link between organic food and the UN’s 2030 sustainability agenda and how the individual countries incorporate organic into their national strategies towards 2030. The market analysis covers the following countries: • Nordic countries: Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland • Autonomous areas: The Faroe Islands, Åland Islands and Greenland • Baltic countries: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania The market analysis is part of the project ”Nordic Nutrition the Green Way”, which aims at bringing together the Nordic and Baltic authorities and relevant private stakeholders in the field of organic production and consumption. The project addresses the idea of a sustainable and healthy diet for the population and strengthening the Nordic-Baltic identity on sustainability and branding of a greener and more organic Nordic-Baltic region.

This book was released on 2005-06-02 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report contains the conclusions from the project "Development of the Nordic/Baltic Market for Organic Food" in which public authorities and NGO's from Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden have participated. The objective of this project was to elaborate a joint project proposal in order to promote the development of the Nordic-Baltic market for organic products. The project identifies and describes a range of barriers for a market driven development of the organic sector, including lack of consumer awareness, deficient market data, different standards and labelling, lack of marketing channels, lack of processing and innovation and high prices. Against this background the project points out a range of potential cross-border activities, including an information campaign to raise awareness and induce consumers' trust in organic products, construction of a common information system on the rules and procedures, promotion of the EU-logo and national logos, collaboration between retail chains and representative organic organisations and finally alternative distribution channels. In order to enable the implementation of one or more of these potential activities the project has identified relevant funding opportunities. The most relevant funding opportunity has been identified as the EU promotion scheme (Commission Legislation (EC) 94/2002 of 18 January 2002), which is therefore described thoroughly.

Download or read book How climate policies impact gender and vice versa in the Nordic countries written by Lander Svendsen, Nina and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2022-01-24 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2022-507/ The Nordic countries have a progressive gender policy, and requirements to ensure gender equality and balance are laid down in laws and national strategies. However, the knowledge on the links between gender and climate change has been lacking documentation and has not been shared with relevant Nordic stakeholders and policy makers. The report seeks to close this knowledge gap. It provides a comprehensive understanding of how climate change policies affect gender and vice versa, and it is clear evidence of the importance of- and need to engage women and minorities in climate policy making. This is an important step towards implementing a climate change policy without negative effects on gender. The study gives an overview of existing and lacking sex-disaggregated data as well as a status regarding gender equality in decision-making related to climate policy in the Nordic countries.

Download or read book The Handbook of Organic and Fair Trade Food Marketing written by Simon Wright and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The markets for organic and fair trade food are growing rapidly. Although there are some important differences, both seek to address the consumer desire for “better” food: fair trade because it offers economically disadvantaged producers a better financial return; organic because it is perceived to be a more sustainable system delivering better-tasting, healthier and safer food than that produced by non-organic methods. The Handbook of Organic and Fair Trade Food Marketing provides a practical guide to successful marketing in these two dynamic sectors, underpinned by case-histories and lessons from companies that have been successful in these areas, including Green & Black's, Yeo Valley and Duchy Originals. It includes a review of the international markets for organic and fair trade food and drink; an analysis of organic and fair trade consumers; a review of successful retailing practice and a section on organic and fair trade divergence and convergence. Chapters are also included on perspectives from the USA, Germany and Italy. The book is written by industry experts, augmented by academic contributions where appropriate, offering for the first time the practical marketing advice required by companies in this sector.

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 2023-10-06 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2023-530/ Consumer-citizens are concerned about food sustainability. However, there is a gap between the degree of concern and the rate of choices for relatively more sustainable food products. Funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers, a representative consumer-citizen survey study across eight Nordic-Baltic countries about sustainability understanding in the food context was conducted in summer 2022 by the MAPP Centre at Aarhus University, Denmark, with the contribution of a steering committee consisting of representatives from each country.The report provides research insights, which allow decision makers to know where consumer-citizens are in their current understanding of food sustainability. This serves as an important input for discussing an efficient design of and communication about a future sustainability labelling framework empowering consumer-citizens to make informed food choices.

Download or read book Influence of health consciousness and food safety concerns on consumer attitudes towards organic food written by Pia Weiler and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2015-11-04 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, ( Middlesex University in London ), language: English, abstract: This dissertation analyses the specific role of the two factors health consciousness and food safety on consumer attitudes and their purchase intentions in relation to organic food. The investigation will deliver evidence from the Generation Y from two of the major countries consuming organic products: Germany and United Kingdom. Until now there have not been sufficient studies about organic foods in relation to health consciousness and food safety, so the aim of this study is to fill this gap. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate how health consciousness and food safety affects consumer attitudes and purchase intentions towards organic products. This will be done through a review of previous secondary literature as well as a questionnaire distributed online via e-mail and Facebook. The total number of respondents was 203. Researchers suggested several new approaches on how to deliver a more precise outcome on organic consumption. These recommendations were taken into consideration and a new methodology was developed. An online questionnaire was distributed in order to answer the hypotheses and find out what drives the Millenials to buy organic, as they seem to have different consumption patterns than previous generations. To observe the desired results, the Theory of Planned Behaviour by Icek Ajzen (1985) was extended with self-identity concepts and moral norms, items that were found by previous researchers to have a significant influence on intentions to purchase organic foods (Aertsens et al., 2009; Arvola et al., 2008; Dean & Shepherd, 2012; Hagger & Chatzisarantis, 2006; Sparks & Shepherd, 1992; Zanoli & Naspetti, 2002). The results support the assumption, that Germans prefer organic produce over the British participants. In the UK, there is a gap between the non-consumers and the consumers of organic foods. As previous studies stated, they question organic regulation standards and production methods more than the Germans, who mostly trust in their organic production chain (Gerrard et al., 2013; Zander, 2014). Moreover, both parties believe in health supporting attributes of this style of farming, which can be named as a reason for the steady growth of organic demand.
