The Individual

It is evident that convenience plays a prominent role in the food choices of today’s consumers. A trend having begun throughout the Western world, consumer demand for convenience foods is now on the rise around the globe. The growing presence of drive-thru windows, microwave dinners, take-out meals, home delivery for groceries and internet shopping, all demonstrate the importance of convenience in determining food choices. Costa et al. have argued that convenience itself determines where, when, why, what, how, and even with whom we eat. Several studies have examined the role that convenience plays in determining food choices, in particular, studies looking at the role of convenience in relation to full meal preparation and/ or consumption.The two areas of investigation will be 1) the dimensions of convenience as a part of the meal preparation and consumption processe, and 2) the individual characteristics of consumers and how they value these dimensions.

The Cost

Inventories are important in making sales for the company to meet consumer demand, so asexpected to be able fill up market needs and utilize existing opportunities to earn income. Ownedstock company must supply the optimum value, so as to meet every demand with minimum cost.then the company can use the method of economic order quantity (EOQ) calculation of theoptimum amount of inventory. By using the EOQ method is the cost incurred for the procurementof supplies to be more minimal. The purpose of this study was to determine how theimplementation of the EOQ method and inventory costs that occurred in the company, as well as tofind out how the role of the EOQ method in the company stock cost efficiently. Research on theauthor is in the PT. Setiajaya Mobilindo Bogor. PT. Setiajaya Mobilindo Bogor is a companywhich engaged in sales, service and spareparts. The results obtained by the method of economicorder quantity (EOQ) ordering the company to find out how economical for each inventory itemand find out the frequency of bookings for a period and when ordering goods to be redone, so thedemand for goods can be satisfied in the maximum. Thus the economic order quantity (EOQ)method important to act in efficient of suppy cost in that company.

The socio-cultural system in the Belgorod region, as follows from the results of sociology research, is characterized by stability and integrity. To a certain extent, it is a result of preserving the significant share of traditionalism in public consciousness. The moral guidelines for most citizens in the region are set by prevailing norms in society, which have a high degree of rejection of various social deviations. Currently, there is a transformation of traditional values and practices in «modern» ones - with the leading role of individualism, escalating consumer demand and gradual refusal from the comprehensive state regulation. However, orientation to the stability, not to the change, is the dominant of mass consciousness.

Consumer demand for meat is constantly changing and agricultural economists have been prolifically researching this change. The purpose of this article is to give an overview of demand for meat quality attributes and it discusses implications for industry stakeholders and policymakers. Discussion focuses especially on demand for red meat quality attributes by consumers in the United States and Europe. It mentions that properly specified meat demand models require variables capturing changing consumer lifestyles and preferences for specific meat quality attributes if models are to be of value in understanding consumer behavior. It also shows the overall patterns in meat demand. It assesses how consumer demand for meat quality attributes is influencing consumer meat purchasing decisions. Numerous economic experiments and surveys reveal that consumers are willing to pay more for products they perceive possess intrinsic quality attributes they want.

Food Value

India's agri-food value chains have been evolving over the last few decades to cater to the growing consumer demand for healthy, safe, and nutritious food. These value chains are increasingly getting integrated from production to marketing to cater to such demand. While large and/or commercial farmers have easy access to such modern food value chains, small and marginal farmers in India and other developing countries alike are unable to take advantage of the same. Focusing on improving the agri-food value chains, particularly for perishables, makes a strong case in India given most Indian farmers are small and marginal farmers and are unable to take advantage of economies of scale. It is encouraging that both public and private sector entities are getting engaged in connecting Indian farmers directly to the supply chains of various crops. However, more needs to be done to make the processes, particularly in the public sector, the least bureaucratic and more farmer-focused so that small and marginal farmers in particular, benefit widely.

Hay quality and intake by dairy cows. 2. Predicting feed intake with consumer-demand models

Preference Experiment

Daily food intake is the single most important factor affecting milk production by dairy cows. However, an animal’s choice of food depends not only on the nutritional characteristics of the food in question, but also on the nutritional characteristics of other available foods. Any prediction of intake should be based on the nutritional characteristics of all foods on offer. However, when the initial food-preference experiment possesses a control-specific design (i.e. experiments that include only a limited number of control foods for comparison) it is apparent that the prediction of future food choices must include the same controls as the initial experiment underpinning the prediction model. This requirement is clearly impractical. By drawing an analogy between animal food preference and economic choice, the total and relative dry matter intake of two oaten hays was modelled on their nutritive characteristics by estimating a consumer-demand model (here a generalised additive model representation of a direct bundle good model) from experimental data offering hays to lactating cows (adj-R2 > 80%; where adj-R2 is the value adjusted for the number of predictor terms in the model). To negate the problem of control-specificity, a simplex interpolation was developed to construct and test predictions of hay intake for a second food-preference experiment (adj-R2 > 53%; correlation between predictions and actual intakes = 76%). To improve prediction accuracy and avoid control-specificity, it is recommended that future preference experiments be designed to exclude control-specificity by mimicking fractional factorial designs, supported by a two-stage approach to select a cost-effective number of comparisons. Our approach to predicting food intake may be extended to a choice between more than two foods, and to combinations of foods other than oaten hays.
