The halal food industry is no longer underrated. Since consumers became very concerned about their daily consumption considering the hygiene that should be maintained. This research was aimed to measure the Indonesian consumers’ willingness to buy halal food, especially meat products, based on trust, awareness, packaging information, and food safety. However, Indonesian consumers’ demand for halal food is not proportional comparing to a large number of the Muslim population. Contrast to previous similar studies that adopting the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) or Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) that focused more on halal awareness and halal labels, this study was adopting Hedonic Theory. This research using 186 data that were collected by online questionnaires. Data then analyzed using multiple linear regression and Ordinal Least Square (OLS). Results showed that only halal awareness and food safety are proven to have significant positive effects on willingness to buy. Regardless of Muslim and non-Muslim, halal awareness and food safety attract consumers’ willingness to buy halal-labeled meat products. To increase the willingness to buy halal meat products in Indonesia, the government and producers must be able to encourage awareness of the importance of eating halal food. Furthermore, they also must ensure the safety of that food. Hopefully, these findings can become input for stakeholders.

<p><em>This study aims to determine the effect of attitudes, subjective norms, zakat institution system and government support in influencing the interest of the government and private officers to pay zakat. This study also aims to determine the extent of muzakki’s knowledge of zakat in improving attitudes, subjective norms, zakat institutional systems and government support in the interest of the government and private officers to pay zakat. Respondents in this study are 402 respondents consisting of 154 government officers and 248 private officers who live in 6 big cities in Java, such as Jakarta, Serang, Bandung, Semarang, Yogyakarta and Surabaya. This research uses the Partial-Least-Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis technique with the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) model. The finding reveals that attitudes, subjective norms, zakat institutional system, and government support affect the government and private officers' interest in paying zakat. Meanwhile, knowledge as a moderating variable does not strengthen the influence of attitudes, zakat institutional systems and government support. Still, it reinforces the subjective norms of government and private officers in influencing intention to pay zakat. BAZNAS can collaborate with educational institutions, professional institutions, community institutions and utilize social networks to increase public knowledge about zakat. Hence, knowledge about zakat supports subjective norms and attitudes, zakat institutional system, and government support. </em></p>

AbstractIndonesia is densely populated country with majority of Musims. One of the obligations of a Muslim is to eat halal food. Various food products cause various problems. One of them is the presence of a mixture of haram substances into food products. So it is necessary to have halal certification for the product before it is marketed to the public. Including cut meat products, it must be ascertained whether the slaughter is in accordance with Islamic law or not. Most of the cut meat that is scattered in various regions in Indonesia comes from the slaughterhouse services. The number of slaughterhouses scattered in Indonesia is not balanced with the implementation of halal certification. Even though the existence of halal certification provides legal guarantees and protection. Based on this, it is necessary to enforce halal certification law by the community, business actors and also the government. Keywords: Halal Certification; Consumer Protection; Slaughterhouse.AbstrakIndonesia merupakan negara dengan padat penduduk dengan mayoritas beragama Islam. Salah satu kewajiban seorang Muslim adalah mengonsumsi makanan yang halal. Produk makanan yang beragam menimbulkan berbagai permasalahan. Salah satunya adalah adanya campuran zat haram ke dalam produk makanan. Sehingga diperlukan adanya sertifikasi halal terhadap produk sebelum dipasarkan kepada masyaakat. Termasuk pula produk daging potong, harus dipastikan apakah penyembelihannya sudah sesuai syariat Islam atau belum. Daging potong yang tersebar berbagai wilayah di Indonesia sebagian besar berasal dari jasa Rumah Potong Hewan. Banyaknya Rumah Potong Hewan yang tersebar di Indonesia, tidak diimbangi dengan pelaksanaan sertifikasi halal. Padahal dengan adanya sertifikasi halal memberikan jaminan dan perlindungan hukum bagi konsumen. Pelanggaran terhadap sertifikasi halal termasuk bentuk pelanggaran terhadap perlindungan konsumen. Berdasarkan hal tersebut diperlukan adanya penegakan hukum sertifikasi halal oleh masyarakat, pelaku usaha dan juga pemerintah.Kata Kunci: Sertifikasi Halal; Perlindungan Konsumen; Rumah Potong Hewan.

Purpose of the study: This examination means to inspect the impact of locus of control on the reception of dysfunctional behaviour in auditing and to accountants’ professional commitment. We test the impact of accountants’ professional commitment to the reception of dysfunctional behaviour in auditing. We also dissect how work environment spirituality would moderate them. Methodology: The population was public accountants in Indonesia, selected using convenience sampling method due to the uncertainness of the population. Partial Least Square and WarPLS 6.0 were utilized to break down the information. The use of data collection methods in the form of online questionnaires directly addressed to all Indonesian accounting firms e-mail addresses. Main Findings: Locus of control proved to have positive effects on the behavioural dysfunctional audits reception and auditors' professional commitment. Professional commitment is not proven to harm the reception of dysfunctional behaviour in auditing. Work environment spirituality is not proven to moderate the relationship between professional commitment and reception of dysfunctional behaviour in auditing. Applications of this study: The more bound an auditor is to his profession, also makes him take actions that are less ethical, justifying any means so that his business can continue to run. Auditor's attachment to his profession gives an adverse impact. They need to develop themselves, switching to other professions, such as being an Accountant Educator, Management Accountant, or entering the public sector. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study combines reasoned action and contingency theory. It also connects locus of control and professional commitment. We also adopt work environment spirituality in the model of reception of dysfunctional behaviour in auditing that researchers have never used before. We also integrate extrinsic/environmental factor as a moderating, not as an independent variable. We also utilized online questionnaires.

In 2016-2017, foodborne outbreaks in Indonesia were mostly due to foods from households and street food vendors, indicating that people do not understand and apply food safety practices properly. In 2015, the government of Indonesia initiated a community-based food safety empowerment program to increase food safety knowledge, attitude and behavior of selected communities. Knowledge, attitude, and behavior are variables which can appropriately be analyzed by multivariate analysis. This study aimed to determine the characteristics and relationships of food safety knowledge, attitude and behavior in the intervened communities using the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The study used purposive method to establish the respondents and developed a questionnaire to collect the responses. A total of 254 respondents were obtained from 9 urban areas in DKI Jakarta Province. Analysis using PLS-SEM concluded one statement for knowledge, three statements for attitude, and six statements for behavior as the statement characteristics for food safety. Results of this study suggest that knowledge affects food safety attitude and behavior significantly, but attitude does not influence behavior significantly. These results indicated the need to improve food safety knowledge in order to improve food safety attitude and behavior of the communities. However, it is important to realize that the transformation of attitude into behavior requires other factors such as environmental support and ease of the application of the principle of food safety.

This paper examines the problem of food security in the Republic of Kazakhstan over the past 10 years. Based on statistical data, an assessment was made of the prevalence of malnutrition among the population of the country, including children under 5 years of age. There has been a trend towards for an improvement in the nutrition of the population for a few indicators; however, further optimization of food security indicators is required to achieve the goals of sustainable development (SDGs) of the FAO WHO Agenda for the period up to 2050 in Kazakhstan and in its individual regions. The paper reflects data on demographic changes over the past 10 years and its self-sufficiency in basic foods for 2019. A high degree of self-sufficiency in meat products (117.6%) is revealed in the population of the Republic of Kazakhstan. However, self-sufficiency in dairy products is at an extremely low level (0.1%). Camel breeding has been successfully developing in the country over the past 10 years. However, the number of camels in the country is still at a low level. Camel milk can be considered as a great source of macronutrients, its daily consumption partially facilitates the problem of Food Security in Kazakhstan.

Establishing a blockchain food traceability system (BFTS) is increasingly important and urgent to resolve the contradiction between consumers’ intention regarding safe food selections and the spread of polluted foods. Using the advantages of blockchain, such as immutability, decentralization, openness, and anonymity, we can build trusted food traceability systems based on these important characteristics. With reliable information, traceability from production to sales can effectively improve food safety. In this research, multiple models, namely, the information success model (ISS) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) are formed into a conceptual integrated framework to study the intentions’ influenced factors of BFTS technology for Chinese consumers to help ensure food safety and the quality of Chinese organic food products. A face-to-face questionnaire survey with 300 valid responses was analyzed by Partial Least Square from the Chinese consumers focusing on the organic food products. This study found that the attitude and perceived behavioral control qualities significantly and positively affect the usage intention in adopting BFTS, while the subjective norms are positively but not significantly correlation with the usage intention in using BFTS. The above results will inform suggestions for productors and academics along with implications to promote BFTS’ usage intention.

Food is the most basic material conditions of survival and development of human society, its security situation is relation to the health and safety of consumer directly. This paper analyze the reasons of causing problems of food quality and safety in the agricultural products supply chain from the perspective of the game theory as well as the government incentive and regulatory mechanisms affect the decision-making of farmers and food producers respectively. In the game between crop growers - farmers and food producers, the government play the outsider role and should give farmers subsidies to encourage them to grow high-quality green crops, as far as possible to ensure food safety from the source. In the game between producers and regulators, the government, as the game participant, should be asked to improve the supervision efficiency and the control ability to prevent unqualified food products entering the market.
