And Behavior

The development of increasingly sophisticated internet technology makes the spread of information faster, this makes it easy for people to know many things, one of which is the danger of the "industrial food system" for climate and human health. Industrial food uses fossil fuels that are post-use harmful to our atmosphere and lack nutrition in industrial food. this made people aware, especially millenials, of consuming more organic food than baby boomers. The highest population in this era is millenials, it can be concluded that the demand for organic food will increase. This phenomenon opens opportunities for farmers and entrepreneurs to do business, but cities are growing and land for farming is also decreasing. Edu-Agriculture in Cengkareng is a place for farmers and millennial generation entrepreneurs to learn about agriculture both in production, technology / research, and learning about the business of the agricultural model itself. with the approach of paying attention to millennial characteristics and behavior for this case is a way of learning. so that it produces space programs that are in accordance with the characteristics and behavior of millenials. The presence of this project is expected that cities can continue to develop without having to disrupt the power of food production, urban farmers can maximize their production on limited land. entrepreneurs can maximize market potential in this field, and are expected to cultivate a "real food" system that is good for the environment, farmers and consumers.AbstrakPerkembangan teknologi internet semakin canggih membuat penyebaran informasi semakin cepat hal ini membuat orang mudah mengetahui banyak hal, salah satunya adalah  bahaya nya “industrial food system” bagi iklim maupun kesehatan manusia. Industrial food menggunakan bahan bakar fosil yang pasca penggunaannya berbahaya bagi atmosphere kita serta kurangnya gizi pada makanan industrial food. hal ini menyadarkan masyarakat khususnya millenials sehingga lebih banyak mengkonsumsi makanan organik ketimbang baby boomers. Populasi tertingi di jaman ini adalah millenials, dapat disimpulkan demand makanan organik akan semakin meningkat. Fenomena ini membuka peluang bagi para petani dan entrepreneur untuk berbisnis, namun kota semakin berkembang dan lahan untuk bercocok tanam semakin berkurang juga. oleh karena itu perlu adanya teknologi di bidang agrikultur seperti teknologi vertical farming, pencahayaan buatan, nutrisi, dan sebagainya  untuk mengatasi perluasan wilayah kota tanpa menggangu daya produksi pangan. dengan demikian diperlukan wadah untuk mengedukasi  petani/masyarakat yang mayoritasnya millenials untuk menangapi peluang tersebut. baik secara bisnis model maupun teknologi seputar agrikultural. Edu-Agrikultural di Cengkareng merupakan wadah bagi para petani dan para entrepreneur generasi millenial untuk belajar seputar perihal agrikultur baik secara produksi, teknolgi/riset, hingga pembelajaran mengenai bisnis model agrikultur itu sendiri. dengan pendekatan memperhatikan karakteristik dan tingkah laku millenial untuk kasus ini adalah cara belajar. sehinga menghasilkan program ruang yang sesuai dengan karakteristik dan tingkah laku millenials. Hadirnya proyek ini diharapkan kota dapat terus berkembang tanpa harus mengganggu daya produksi pangan, urban farmers dapat memaksimalkan hasil produksinya di lahan yang terbatas. para entrepreneur dapat memaksimalkan potensi pasar dibidang ini, serta diharapkan dapat membudayakan “real food” system yang baik bagi lingkungan, petani, serta konsumen.

The 1960S

Modern agriculture is heavily dependent on fossil resources. Both direct energy use for crop management and indirect energy use for fertilizers, pesticides and machinery production have contributed to the major increases in food production seen since the 1960s. However, the relationship between energy inputs and yields is not linear. Low-energy inputs can lead to lower yields and perversely to higher energy demands per tonne of harvested product. At the other extreme, increasing energy inputs can lead to ever-smaller yield gains. Although fossil fuels remain the dominant source of energy for agriculture, the mix of fuels used differs owing to the different fertilization and cultivation requirements of individual crops. Nitrogen fertilizer production uses large amounts of natural gas and some coal, and can account for more than 50 per cent of total energy use in commercial agriculture. Oil accounts for between 30 and 75 per cent of energy inputs of UK agriculture, depending on the cropping system. While agriculture remains dependent on fossil sources of energy, food prices will couple to fossil energy prices and food production will remain a significant contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Technological developments, changes in crop management, and renewable energy will all play important roles in increasing the energy efficiency of agriculture and reducing its reliance of fossil resources.

The Impact

The first purpose of this chapter is to highlight the impact of the food system on environmental and human health. The delivery of secure affordable food is a political imperative. Unfortunately, the food system that delivers it is environmentally blind. Food prices do not effectively reflect the value of food and often seriously mislead on the costs and impacts of food production. For example, actual food production takes place in a failed market—the value of environmental services such as water and the supporting ecosystems are not taken into account. The second purpose is to summarize and expose the political economy of the different ‘market’ modes of the food system. It is shown that there are weak players such as underrewarded and undervalued farmers who support society by producing food and stewarding our unvalued environment. The inadequacies of accounting systems are also critiqued.

Depth Interviews

The restriction measures linked to the COVID-19 shock suddenly highlighted the vulnerability of most socioeconomic systems, including the food sector. In a context in which the limitation to the movement of people and goods has put the longer and more structured supply chains in serious difficulty, many experiences and initiatives have emerged as viable alternatives. The aim of the research was to understand if and how the Solidarity Purchasing Groups (SPG) of Rome have contributed to the resilience of the food system of the metropolitan city during the lockdown. The research was based on the results of a questionnaire administered to the SPGs of Rome during the first period of the pandemic (April–July 2020), enriched by some in-depth interviews carried out by the authors. What emerged was that, despite the limited extent in terms of products conveyed within the whole food system, the SPGs represented an important food supply channel during the lockdown period, for two main reasons: a greater flexibility and agility in moving and in handling goods and the possibility of remunerating local farms, contributing to the resilience of the local agri-food fabric. The analysis of the results confirms the strong vitality of such Food Movements in Rome and, at the same time, allows for the identification of a series of interventions that the institutions could adopt to favor the spread of a food environment more compatible with more sustainable and fairer forms of food production and distribution.

Energy Return On Investment

The projected increase in the world’s population requires an increase in the production of edible energy that would meet the associated increased demand for food. However, food production is strongly dependent on the use of energy, mainly from fossil fuels, the extraction of which requires increasing input due to the depletion of the most easily accessible deposits. According to numerous estimations, the world’s energy production will be dependent on fossil fuels at least to 2050. Therefore, it is vital to increase the energy efficiency of production, including food production. One method to measure energy efficiency is the energy return on investment (EROI), which is the ratio of the amount of energy produced to the amount of energy consumed in the production process. The literature lacks comparable EROI calculations concerning global food production and the existing studies only include crop production. The aim of this study was to calculate the EROI of edible crop and animal production in the long term worldwide and to indicate the relationships resulting from its changes. The research takes into account edible crop and animal production in agriculture and the direct consumption of fossil fuels and electricity. The analysis showed that although the most underdeveloped regions have the highest EROI, the production of edible energy there is usually insufficient to meet the food needs of the population. On the other hand, the lowest EROI was observed in highly developed regions, where production ensures food self-sufficiency. However, the changes that have taken place in Europe since the 1990s indicate an opportunity to simultaneously reduce the direct use of energy in agriculture and increase the production of edible energy, thus improving the EROI.

AbstractIncreasing concerns for climate change call for radical changes in food systems. There is a need to pay more attention to the entangled changes in technological development, food production, as well as consumption and consumer demand. Consumer and market interest in alternative meat and milk products—such as plant based milk, plant protein products and cultured meat and milk—is increasing. At the same time, statistics do not show a decrease in meat consumption. Yet alternatives have been suggested to have great transitional potential, appealing to different consumer segments, diets, and identities. We review 123 social scientific journal articles on cell-based and plant-based meat and milk alternatives to understand how the positioning of alternatives as both same and different in relation to animal-based products influences their role within the protein transition. We position the existing literature into three themes: (1) promissory narratives and tensions on markets, (2) consumer preferences, attitudes, and behavioral change policies, (3) and the politics and ethics of the alternatives. Based on our analysis of the literature, we suggest that more research is needed to understand the broader ethical impacts of the re-imagination of the food system inherent in meat and milk alternatives. There is also a need to direct more attention to the impacts of meat and milk alternatives to the practices of agricultural practices and food production at the farm-level. A closer examination of these research gaps can contribute to a better understanding of the transformative potential of alternatives on a systemic level.

AbstractIn Australia, the retail value of organic food production was estimated at A$250 million, with farm-gate value at around A$90 million and exports at around A$40 million, in 2002. The current share of organic sales in total food sales in Australia is about 1%. The growth rate in organic production was forecast to continue at 10–30% per annum. Despite the positive outlook, there are consumer concerns about product recognition and product integrity. To understand how demand for organic products is changing, it is important to investigate consumer attitudes and knowledge about these issues. The objective of this study was to identify issues that may hinder or promote demand. Given the qualitative nature of these issues, we used a focus group study to probe consumers. While focus group results are a qualitative approach and not intended to be generalizable, the results suggest directions for future research. The participants raised concerns about the use of chemicals, the treatment of farm animals and the environmental impact of food production. Organic food consumers were found to be more knowledgeable about organic foods, as well as being more tolerant of higher prices and inaccessibility. The results also suggest that increasing consumers' awareness of organic farming and certification, as well as the availability of organic foods, may be the most effective way of moving organic foods into mainstream.

Organic agriculture, based on natural production technologies, obtains a great potential for reversing humanity to a healthy diet and living in harmony with nature by improving the state of the ecosystem. The share of organic food products in the market of the developed countries is already quite high; and various institutional systems of the industry have been introduced and are being improved in the leading countries of the world. Domestic agribusiness is currently lagging behind in these matters, but the situation should be significantly changed by the adopted law and state standard regulating the requirements for the organic sector. In this regard, an objective need arose to substantiate the capabilities and the resource potential of the Saratov region in this sphere. Within the framework of the presented research, an interdisciplinary fundamental platform to develop the theory of the organic food products market was formed. As a result, the elements of the scientific methodology (theories, principles, factors, methods) of its functioning were identified, which made it possible to substantiate the potential capacity of the regional consumer market for organic food. The calculation was made taking into account the rational norms of food consumption that meet modern requirements for a healthy diet, the heterogeneity of consumer preferences, the price gap for the main conventional and organic products in retail and the dispersion of prices for the latter, the implementation of state policy to protect and improve the health of certain population groups. This study is intended for the state management bodies of the agro-industrial sector, the leadership of agricultural, processing and marketing enterprises, the structures of wholesale and retail food products trade and branch research institutions.
