РЕСУРСНЫЙ ПОТЕНЦИАЛ И ФУНКЦИОНИРОВАНИЕ ЛОКАЛЬНЫХ РЫНКОВ ПРИГРАНИЧНЫХ РЕГИОНОВ ДАЛЬНЕГО ВОСТОКА

The article deals with the study and solution of problems of ensuring the resource potential of the Far Eastern Federal District. This is not possible without the effective functioning of the food markets and the rational organization of trade space in the border regions. The openness of economic systems at the regional level, the high intensity of interregional trade in food products, the complexity of determining the boundaries of the market space require an analysis of local markets that are united in the market space of the region. The article analyzes the resource potential of local food markets in the border regions (Amur region, Khabarovsk Territory), reveals the essence of the definition of "local market", assesses the state and trends in the development of local food markets in the Amur region and Khabarovsk Territory.

Perceptions of Arkansas Agriculture County Extension Agents Toward Urban Agriculture

As interest in local food development and urban agriculture increases, the Cooperative Extension Service is challenged to serve local and urban food communities in Arkansas. Urban farmers in Arkansas have differing motivations for operation than those in production agriculture, so understanding agricultural county agents’ perceptions of urban farmers is critical for program development and implementation in this sector and to bridge any gaps between Extension and urban producers. This study was conducted to determine the perceptions of, awareness of, ability to assist with, and barriers to working with urban farmers in Arkansas. An emailed instrument was sent to Arkansas staff chairs and agricultural county agents and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. A total of 57 agents participated in the survey. Responses from agents in more populous regions of Arkansas were comparatively analyzed to those from less populous regions. Results indicated agents infrequently interacted with urban farmers in their counties, yet believed Extension was a valuable resource for urban farmers and that more resources should be allocated to developing urban farming programming. Respondents also self-identified as having low levels of personal knowledge relating to urban agriculture, with 72% of respondents indicating they were not knowledgeable or slightly knowledgeable about urban agriculture. There was a significant difference between the responses of agents in more populous counties and those in less populous counties. Future research aims to conduct a similar survey relating to local food in Arkansas, not just urban agriculture.

Consumers in local food markets: from adoption to market co-creation?

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the consumer adoption literature on local food. This study discusses the applicability of traditional models of adoption and diffusion to understand new phenomena such as the development of local food networks.Design/methodology/approachA systematic review of the literature on the adoption and diffusion of local food systems was conducted.FindingsA total of three main challenges within the literature on the adoption and diffusion of local food are identified: the lack of a clear definition of what constitutes local food, divergent market assumptions and divergent consumer assumptions. In addition, this study points to the need for new perspectives on consumer adoption and diffusion of local food practices.Originality/valueThis paper provides an overview of current local food research streams and contributes to the literature on consumer adoption and diffusion of local food consumption.

Local foods development to achieve food security in Papua Province, Indonesia

This study describes the problem of high dependency on rice consumption in Papua while Papua has several local foods as alternative sources of carbohydrate. The study focuses on Papua province as the region that has many potential on local-non rice food like corn, cassava, and sweet potatoes, which then selected as the study objects. A ten-year series of data from 2006 to 2015 was obtained from BPS (Central Bureau of Statistics) and analyzed in this study. The results show that the development of local food was relatively slower in Papua Province compared to the national level, except for fish development. It is observed that the program to increase rice production is very intensive while the program to increase local food production has not been a concern of the local government. Programs to increase production, develop cultivation, production, and processing technologies are biased to rice production, resulting in the food diversification program trough local food development is likely difficult to be realized. Papua Province has a comparative advantage in local food because it is supported by the potential of natural resources and the culture of local community. Local food must be encouraged and promoted as–a major, healthy food source and at the same time, support the realization of food diversification programs in Indonesia.

Phenolic Compounds in Poorly Represented Mediterranean Plants in Istria: Health Impacts and Food Authentication.

Phenolic compounds are well-known bioactive compounds in plants that can have a protective role against cancers, cardiovascular diseases and many other diseases. To promote local food development, a comprehensive overview of the phenolic compounds’ composition and their impact on human health from typical Mediterranean plants such as Punica granatum L., Ziziphus jujuba Mill., Arbutus unedo L., Celtis australis L., Ficus carica L., Cynara cardunculus var. Scolymus L. is provided. Moreover, the potential use of these data for authenticity determination is discussed. Some of the plants’ phenolic compounds and their impact to human health are very well determined, while for others, the data are scarce. However, in all cases, more data should be available about the content, profile and health impacts due to a high variation of phenolic compounds depending on genetic and environmental factors. Quantifying variation in phenolic compounds in plants relative to genetic and environmental factors could be a useful tool in food authentication control. More comprehensive studies should be conducted to better understand the importance of phenolic compounds on human health and their variation in certain plants.

Effectiveness of LPK Composite Flour as an Additive in the Formula of Enteral Diabetes Mellitus on Blood Glucose Levels of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases, more than 90-95% are Type 2 DM. Commercial enteral DM formulas such as diabetasol are quite expensive and there is a need for enteral DM formulas made from local foods that have the potential to be antihyglycemic and antidiabetic. Development of local food based enteral DM formulas with the addition of composite flour Labu Kuning, Kepok Banana and Green Beans (LPK). The food has a low glycemic index so that it can be used to control blood glucose levels in DM patients. The study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of LPK composite flour in the enteral DM formula for blood glucose levels in type 2 DM patients. Quasi experimental research, with a pre-post test with control group design. The treatment group was given FDM-LPK and the control group was given diabetasol, each 60 g per serving then measured blood glucose level 2 hours postprandial. Interventions are given for 5 consecutive days. The number of research subjects was 60 people consisting of 30 treatment people and 30 control people. Blood glucose in type 2 DM patients after 2 jpp in the treatment group and the control group showed a high average value (above 200 mg / dL). The treatment group ranged from 283.83 ± 103.62 mg / dL, while the control group ranged from 359.87 ± 134.43 mg / dL. On the second day there was a significant decrease in blood glucose levels (p 0.05). The provision of FDM-LPK by adding 85 g of LPK composite flour was effective to reduce blood glucose levels 2 jpp in type 2 DM patients. Reduction of blood glucose level of 2 jpp was 18.56%.

Conceptual Logical Model of Managing the Development of Local Food Markets in the Context of Intermunicipal Socioeconomic Differentiation

The article proposes the author's conceptual logical model of managing the development of local food markets in the context of intermunicipal socioeconomic differentiation, which reflects the course of strategic decision-making in order to achieve a spatial balance of supply and demand for food products, based on the interests of the agents of the regional reproduction cycle of food products. It allows substantiating a set of strategic measures to ensure sustainable development of the region. The algorithm of strategic management of the local food markets’ development in the region has been formed, which includes three consecutive stages. The principles aimed at ensuring a balance of supply and demand of food products in modern conditions have been defined. The necessity to regulate the local food market development in the region has been justified, based on the proposed managerial tools for the development strategizing.

Pemaknaan Pelaku Usaha Dalam Pengembangan Pangan Lokal Di Kabupaten Lombok Barat

This study has the purpose to explain the meaning of business actors in the development of local food in West Lombok and explain the meaning of busines actors towards the involvement of primary and secondary stakeholders in the development of local food in West Lombok. This study used a qualitative method with phenomenological approach. Selection of a method purposive. Selection of informants using methods purposive ie businesses which process local food derived from terrestrial plant. The results showed that the meaning of efforts in the development of local food is positive as it can be an additional source of income for families, create jobs and expand social networks, but variations in the types of processed and flavor is still less diverse and less than optimal marketing. Primary and secondary stakeholders involved in the development of local food by providing assistance and motivation to constantly improve the quality and quantity of processed food products locally as well as marketing. But some stakeholders are not optimal involvement in the development of local food. The lack of optimization due to a lack of common ground between the businessmen and the stakeholders as well as between the stakeholders. Looking forward there are organizations that can coordinate and stakeholder businesses so that they can equate the views related to the development of local food and stakeholders can engage with the optimal local food development becomes more leverage.

The Evolution of Cottage Food Regulation in Illinois

Cottage food laws are state-by-state regulations intended to facilitate the development of local food and economies by reducing the obstacles small food producers face in market entry. 1 The laws are designed to exempt the sale of certain non-hazardous foods by small scale-producers from food safety regulations so that these individuals are able to market food directly to consumers.2 For example, many of the food safety laws that regulate food production were designed for large processors, whereby food is prepared in a certified commercial kitchen that has met certain requirements to ensure food safety.3 However, these requirements also serve as significant economic hurdles for small food producers seeking to make low risk (non-potentially hazardous) foods—products which do not present the same safety risks as other processed items.4

Print E-mail Barriers and Facilitators to Local Food Market Development: A Contingency Perspective

Many government and community supported programs and initiatives have been developed recently in response to social, economic, political, and environmental conditions presumed to be caused by the globalized food system. These programs are focused on building local food economies as a means to rectify these conditions and to enhance local communities. While efforts to strengthen local food systems (LFS) are increasing in number, little is known about how well these initiatives are working and what factors contribute to or limit program impact. In this paper, we report on a comparative assessment of barriers and facilitators to the development of local food markets conducted from the perspective of 11 local food coordinators in the eastern region of North Carolina. Interviews with Cooperative Extension agents were analyzed based upon the contingency perspective to assess whether the development and success of local food markets depend on local conditions. Our findings suggest that local food markets are more or less successful given certain local conditions, but that local food markets are not being developed based upon assessment and analysis of local context. Further, institutional factors (e.g., food safety policy and institutional buyer attitudes) were found to have even more impact on local food market development than local conditions (e.g., urban proximity). The information presented in this report is intended to inform policymakers, planners, and administrators regarding environmental factors that should be considered when making decisions and plans to increase viability of LFS development.

Feeding the Rural Tourism Strategy? Food and Notions of Place and Identity

The humble rural cuisine has now been thrust at the forefront of economic development strategies. This conceptual paper is a contribution to a growing critical awareness of the operations of the food industry and helps to foster a critical understanding of how, if at all, local food and its associated culture can help sustain rural tourism particularly and rural communities generally. It is inspired by literature about the international political economy of food and the many experiences of local food development, and is aware of the contrast between the structure of the industry and the hopes associated with its practice on the ground. The paper thus argues that, beyond the glamour and hype, there are those who gain, as well as those who lose, from the current food fad. While it explains the causes of the contemporary craze with food, the paper also interrogates the naïve expectations often placed in food as a motor of rural development, and as the panacea for struggling rural communities. The empirical data on which this chapter is based are drawn from 18 short chapters explaining the history of various “traditional dishes” from the islands of the broad North Atlantic that feature in a recent food publication.

Climate Change Adaptation in the Perspectives of Food, Energy Crisis and Environmental Degradation for Food Sovereignty in Indonesia

The influential factors that have been identified to influence the food crisis energy as well as climate changes are population growth, economic growth, and social conditions. Local food development and food industrialization movement is the approach to overcome food and energy crisis as well as to reduce the GHG emissions. Promoting food industrialization for food sovereignty is a strategic effort for the vulnerability in agricultural sector. Climate change due to the greenhouse effect is caused by the consumption of fossil fuel that continues to rise due to the increased use of vehicles and electrical energy driven by fuel and electricity price subsidies. Fossil fuel subsidy amounting to 19 % of total government spending was mostly or about 84 percent of total subsidies enjoyed by 40 % of high level income of fossil fuel consumers. Approximately 10 % of richest fuel consumers consumed nearly 40 percent of the total subsidized fuel. In contrast, less than 1 %t of the total subsidized fuel used by the poor. There was about 30 % of the fuel consumed is not efficient because of congestion on roads due to the increasing number of vehicles, damaged roads, and urbanization. In addition, the use of energy subsidy inhibits the programs of alternative energy diversification and the investment for renewable energy. Fossil fuel subsidies should be removed and transferred to food subsidy to encourage the increase of local food production that supports diversification and food sovereignty.

RESPONSE OF VILLAGE COUNCILS TO THE FOOD DIVERSIFICATION OF TUBERS FLOUR IN BANTUL DISTRICT

This research was done in Bantul district. The purposes of this research were to find out the response rate of village councils to the food diversification of tubers flour and the factors influencing, to find out the influence of village councils response through development of the local food process, and also to find out the influence of local food development process through the result. This research basically applied analytic descriptive method and used purposive method for sub-district and villages sampling. It took 10 village councils from each village by using simple random sampling,s o there were 60 village councils as sample in total. Data analysis has been done by proportion test, multiple regression analysis, and simple regression analysis.The result shows that mostly village councils in Bantul district have a high response on the food diversification. Government policy and motivatin on food diversification have positive influence to the response of village council. Meanwhile, age, level of education, experience, and perception do not influence to the response of village councils. The response of village councils positively influences to local food development process, and local food development process positively influences ton the result of local food development.
