Evaluation of food purchasing in the Brazilian School Feeding Programme: feasibility of the requirements and recommendations.

To analyse the purchase of food for school feeding, according to the extent and purpose of industrial processing and variety, exploring the feasibility of achieving the requirements and recommendations of the Brazilian School Feeding Programme, and the variety of unprocessed or minimally processed foods according to the purchase of ultra-processed foods. Secondary data from 2016 from the Accountability Management System of the National Fund for Educational Development, concerning the food items purchased, were used to explore the feasibility of the requirements and recommendations. The foods were grouped according to the NOVA classification system. Variety was assessed by counting different types of unprocessed or minimally processed foods. Brazil. 3698 Brazilian municipalities. Energy share from unprocessed or minimally processed foods was 44·1 % while that of ultra-processed foods was 29·9 %. The average of unprocessed or minimally processed food types purchased annually was 33·8 items. Of the municipalities, 35·8 % were within the limit established for the expenditure of funds for the purchase of processed and ultra-processed foods, while 8·7 % followed the recommendation for variety. The proportion of ultra-processed foods did not influence the variety of food items purchased. The results showed the feasibility of achieving the requirements and recommendations and underscored the importance of continued efforts to promote the inclusion of unprocessed or minimally processed foods in the school feeding programme while addressing the challenges associated with expenditure limits of processed and ultra-processed foods and enhancing variety, which is strategic to promote adequate and healthy meals.

Factors Affecting on Purchasing Decision Online Food and Beverages through Gofood

This study investigates the individual and joint influence of product quality, service quality, and consumer trust quality on online food and beverage purchasing decisions through Gofood, employing a quantitative approach. Drawing upon a population of 734 Islamic economics students, the Slovin formula yielded a sample of 90 respondents. Data collection utilized a questionnaire and analysis involved data quality assessment, classical assumption testing, multiple linear regression, and hypothesis testing using IBM SPSS 22. Findings reveal that all three independent variables, (X1) product quality, (X2) service quality, and (X3) trust quality, exert a simultaneous and significant influence on the dependent variable, (Y) purchasing decisions. This conclusion is supported by both the F-test (Fcount = 67.779 > Ftable = 3.17, p < 0.05) and individual t-tests demonstrating significant individual effects for each variable. Therefore, the study confirms that product quality, service quality, and trust quality all play independent and collective roles in shaping online food and beverage purchasing decisions through Gofood.

Vulnerability of Older Adults in the Context of Food Purchase

Despite the aging population, studies on the subject are scarce, notably focusing on the impotence experienced by older adults when purchasing food products. This research aims to analyze the vulnerability of older people during their food purchases. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted 17 telephone semi-structured interviews with people aged 60 or over, food buyers in person, identified as independent. The content analysis using the software IRAMUTEQ showed problematic packaging and labels; predisposition to repeat previous choices due to the wide variety of foods; excessive portions incompatible with the social changes experienced by older adults; reduction of commensality; physical elements of the supermarket excluding older adults; and the COVID-19 pandemic as an impediment to maximizing well-being due to changes in habits and alternative shopping modalities needs. As a contribution, we propose an empirical vulnerability model that considers the particularities of older people for the food market and other markets.

Differentiating emotions in the theory of planned behaviour: evidence of improved prediction in relation to sustainable food consumerism

PurposeThe theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and its extensions are often used to explain intentions to perform sustainable behaviours. Emotions can provide the impetus for action and should be considered in high-involvement situations, such as sustainable food purchase decisions. Therefore, the aim of this research work was to investigate whether the addition of different types of emotions (self-related, social and pro-active) to the TPB main constructs – attitude (ATT), subjective norm (SN) and perceived behavioural control (PBC) – improves the explanation of intention to make two sustainable food purchase choices: purchase Fairtrade (FT) products and purchase through solidarity purchasing groups (SPGs).Design/methodology/approachThe present investigation was conducted by two studies using online questionnaires and focussing on purchasing FT food products (Study 1) and purchasing food through SPGs (Study 2). Stepwise regression models were run to explain the intention to purchase FT products (Study 1; N = 240) and the intention to purchase through SPGs (Study 2; N = 209).FindingsResults show that emotions increase the predictive validity of the TPB model. The study also highlights the importance to distinguish between different types of emotions. Amongst those considered in both studies, only pro-active emotions play a significant role in predicting food purchasing intention. Results encourage further investigation of the role of emotions in TPB-based models for predicting sustainable food purchase choices.Research limitations/implicationsThe measurement of the three classical antecedents of the TPB model (ATT, SNs and PBC) performed by single items can be considered the main limitation of this work. In future research, instruments made up of more items measuring these three theoretical dimensions should be used. In addition, it would be important to conduct an analysis of the beliefs that determine ATTs, norms and perceived control.Originality/valueDifferent from previous studies that considered emotions in extension of the TPB model to explain sustainable behaviours, the present work separately analysed the role of three different kinds of emotions (self-related, social and pro-active) in explaining sustainable food behaviours.

식품 주구매자의 식생활 역량이 김치 구매율 간 관계에 미치는 영향: 품질민감도를 매개효과로

This study focused on the dietary life competency of the main food purchaser and analyzed the relationship between the purchase rate of kimchi and the mediating effect of quality sensitivity. As a result, first, the three sub-factors of dietary competency, healthy eating, safe eating, and traditional eating, all had a significant effect on the kimchi purchase rate. Among them, healthy eating competencies and traditional eating competencies had a negative (-) effect, and safe eating habits had a positive (+) effect. Second, the mediating effect of quality sensitivity was found to be significant in the relationship between the three sub-factors of dietary life competency and the kimchi purchase rate. In conclusion, it was found that the dietary life competency of the main food purchaser affected the kimchi purchase rate, and the mediating effect of quality sensitivity also affected.

Trends in Sugar From Packaged Foods and Beverages Purchased by US Households Between 2002 and 2020

BackgroundExcess sugar consumption is a public health concern in the United States. How sugar purchases have changed over time, whether there are disparities across subpopulations, and the contribution of various food groups are unclear. ObjectiveTo assess trends in sugar from packaged foods and beverages purchased by US households between 2002 and 2020. DesignThis is an open cohort study. Participants/SettingWe obtained data from the NielsenIQ U.S. Homescan Consumer Panel, which collects data on household purchases of all consumer packaged goods in 52 metropolitan and 24 non-metropolitan markets across the United States. We assessed data on food and beverage purchases for 1,163,447 household-years. Main Outcome MeasuresThe primary outcomes are the total sugar in grams purchased per capita per day and percentage of calories from sugar, by sociodemographic group. Statistical Analyses PerformedWe used linear regression to estimate trends in total grams of sugar per capita per day, percentage of calories from sugar, and percentage of total sugar purchases by food or beverage group. We estimated means for select years and tested for significance compared with 2002 and with the previous timepoint and calculated the overall P-value for the linear trend using time series regression. ResultsTotal sugar purchases decreased over the study period, both in absolute terms (−37.2 g/capita/day; 95% confidence interval [CI], −38.7, −35.6) and as a percentage of total calories purchased (−5.3 percentage points; 95% CI, −5.5, −5.2). Sugar purchases declined for all sociodemographic groups, but disparities have persisted or widened, particularly among individuals who are non-Hispanic Black, low-income, and with lower educational attainment. Beverages’ contributions to sugar purchases decreased 8.1 percentage points (95% CI, −8.4, −7.8). ConclusionIn the United States, purchases of sugar declined, but disparities by socioeconomic status and race or ethnicity persisted or widened. Policies to further reduce sugar consumption and the burden of diet-related disparities are needed.

Yeh Aya Hulu Dam has the potential to be developed into a natural tourist attraction in Senganan Village. The potential is inadequate, the village that still does not pay attention to this potential causes the Yeh Aya Hulu Dam to be not managed properly and the overall potential
 has not been explored. This study aims to determine the management of Yeh Aya Hulu's potential as a community-based natural tourism attraction. This research uses qualitative descriptive analysis methods, using Tourism Attraction theory 6A, Tourism Management theory and Tourism Impact theory. Data collection techniques are carried out by observation, interviews, literature studies, and documentation. The data obtained is then analyzed using three data analysis models, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. This study uses a qualitative descriptive analysis method, using the theory of Tourist Attraction 6A, Tourism Management, and Tourism Impact. Data collection techniques were collected through observation, interviews, literature studies, and documentation. The data obtained were then analyzed using three data analysis models: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing.
 The results showed that the potential of Bendungan Yeh Aya Hulu as a natural tourist attraction with the 6A theory is that attractions consist of natural, artificial, and cultural tourist attractions with good access and are easy to reach by tourists. Facilities include a parking area for two-wheeled vehicles while for four-wheeled vehicles, parking on the side of the road, toilets and changing rooms that still need to be put up to standard, and stalls. Tourists can enjoy views of the rice fields, swim, play tube tubing, and buy food. Additional services that still need to be available and tour packages will be planned in the future. The management of Bendungan Yeh Aya Hulu as a natural tourist attraction holds the concept of CBT (Community-Based Tourism) which applies the functions of tourism management, including planning, organizing, actuating, monitoring, and motivation. The impact of managing Bendungan Yeh Aya Hulu as a natural tourist attraction on the community is divided into environmental, socio-cultural, and economic impacts.

Sustainably developing great-tasting pet foods

Sustainably developing great-tasting pet foods Samantha Combe and Melissa Vanchina from Hill’s Pet Nutrition discuss the environmental impact of pet food, with a specific focus on sustainable alternatives to food palatants. The pet population has been steadily growing, resulting in a staggering estimate of more than one billion pets worldwide. Changing attitudes towards pets and their inclusion as part of the family have influenced a more conscious approach to pet care and pet food purchase decisions. (1)

Influence of emotions and inflation on food and drink purchase: An ethnography among Danish families

Abstract Background Families’ food and drink purchases are highly related to intake which affects several health outcomes. Various factors influence grocery shopping e.g., price, preferences, promotion, and availability. However, few studies have explored the relationship between these and how they are affected by major societal changes. This study aims to elaborate on perceived and observed influences on families’ food and drink purchases from a systems perspective during the inflation in 2022. Methods We performed an ethnographic study using semi-structured, shop-along, and photo-elicited interviews with families from September 2022 to January 2023. Fifteen families with children aged 0-21 participated in at least two interviews, resulting in 37 interviews for analysis. We analysed the data using the principles of abductive analysis. We focused on the unexpected research finding that a seemingly mundane behaviour - such as grocery shopping - invoked many different emotions in the participants. Findings Preliminary findings indicate that food and drink purchase is an emotional and private activity. The participants, for example, showed signs of and expressed embarrassment with their choices. Some participants expressed frustration, discomfort, and fear of being tricked concerning grocery shopping, while others associated it with joy, excitement, and inspiration, which influenced their selection of food items. Families experienced changing their shopping behaviour due to the rising inflation. Many faced the question of whether their regular choices, e.g., ecological products, were worth the extra cost. This new need for balancing personal values with economic considerations was often followed by negative emotions e.g., feeling like a bad parent. Conclusions Our preliminary findings indicate that families’ overall feeling about grocery shopping influence their purchase of food and drink items and that grocery shopping can be related to both negative and positive emotions. Key messages • Grocery shopping and deciding which food and drink to buy is an emotional behaviour. • Healthy retail intervention must account for the influence of emotions on food and drink purchase behaviour.

Sustainability of food purchases according to sociodemographic factors

Abstract While the nutritional quality and environmental impact of diets are widely assessed, different production modes (organic vs. conventional) remain understudied as for sustainability. The present study examines the associations between different dimensions of sustainability of food purchases and sociodemographic factors. Households (n = 462) were included in this cross-sectional study using quota sampling in Montpellier Metropolitan Area. Food items acquired over one month were registered in a food supply diary, and the expenditure share of each food group (including organic food) was estimated. Validated indexes estimated scores reflecting the nutritional quality and the environmental impact of food purchases according to these expenditure shares. Associations were tested for each sustainability dimension using linear and multinomial logistic regression models adjusted for sociodemographic factors (e.g. age, education, living area). The age of the household's reference person was consistently related to the sustainability dimensions of food purchases, albeit in different ways. While older age was associated with better nutritional quality (estimate for age >50 years vs. age between 30-50 [95%CI]=0.91[0.29;1.54]), it was associated with a higher environmental impact (estimate for age >50 years vs. age between 30-50 [95%CI]=1.84[0.95;2.73]). Households with a highly educated reference person (OR master's degree vs. lower education levels [95%CI]=1.59 [1.02;2.47] had a larger share of organic foods and those living around the city of Montpellier (OR vs. living in the city centre [95%CI]=0.44[0.24;0.81]) had a smaller share. Our findings highlight that sociodemographic factors relate to sustainability dimensions in different ways. In addition, we address organic food purchases, which provide insights into different aspects of sustainability. Taken together, the findings suggest that there are various levers for promoting healthy and sustainable diets at the consumer level. Key messages • Sustainability of food purchases relates to sociodemographic factors (i.e. age, education, and living location); different dimensions may be addressed. • Mode of food production (i.e., organic) may provide insights in the context of sustainable diets.

Irish consumers attitudes and behaviors to transitioning to more sustainable dietary

Abstract Background The evidence on the environmental, socio-cultural and economic impacts of current diets highlights the need for countries to develop food based dietary guidelines incorporating sustainability. This study assessed consumers current beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours to transitioning to more sustainable dietary practices. Methods An online quantitative survey was developed. An all-Island sample in Ireland, representative of national age and gender distribution was recruited by Qualtrics XM market research company. Ethical approval for the study was granted by the Social Research Ethics Committee of UCC and reaffirmed by Queens University Belfast. Data were analysed using STATA SE Version 17.0. Results Affordability, accessibility, nutrition, and health were the most important characteristics of sustainable diets reported by participants that influence food purchases. Almost half of respondents were not interested in eating less animal-based food (45%) and more plant-based foods (51%). However, 22% reported to have started reducing red and processed meat consumption ‘some of the time'. The most popular sustainable dietary behaviours that people were already engaged with are: eating more home-cooked meals (59%), reducing food waste through prevention (41%), and eating less discretionary foods (55%). Conclusions Facilitating dietary change is a critical component of the transition towards more sustainable diets. A multi-pronged strategy is needed to transition to food environments that empower people to choose healthier and more sustainable options. This includes downstream actions at the individual level, including awareness and education campaigns, but more importantly upstream where strong leadership through public policies taking a whole of population approach is imperative. Key messages • Much work has to be done to reconnect human and ecological health, building awareness and knowledge of sustainable diets, and to make the more sustainable choice the easier, and acceptable choice. • Affordability, accessibility and nutrition and health are important characteristics of sustainable diets influencing food purchases. These need to be considered in the development of key messages.

Associations between retail food environment and organic food purchases in French households

Abstract Background The aim of our study was to assess the associations between organic food purchases of French households and their exposure to food outlets that sell organic foods, including organic food stores (selling only organic products) and standard food outlets, independently from households’ characteristics. Methods This cross-sectional study included 462 households from a quota sampling survey conducted in France. Share of expenditures for organic foods over a one-month period was assessed using food supply diaries and grocery receipts. The objective retail food environment (RFE) was assessed around the home and in activity space (AS) (i.e. areas around places of main activity and commuting journeys) using geographic information systems. Associations between RFE indicators and organic food purchases were assessed using multinomial logistic regression models, adjusted for households’ characteristics. Results Households exposed to organic food outlets around their home (OR presence vs. absence [95% CI]=2.27 [1.33; 3.89]) had higher expenses in organic foods. Households exposed to organic food outlets in their AS were also more likely to have medium (OR ≥ 3 organic food outlets vs. absence [95% CI]=2.52 [1.34;4.76]) or high organic food purchases (OR [95% CI]=1.90 [1.04;3.47]). The models that included different types of organic food stores confirmed the first ones: households who were exposed to organic specialized food stores (greengrocers, bakeries and butcher's stores) around home and in their AS were more likely to have medium or high organic food purchases. In addition, the distance to the nearest organic grocery food store was inversely associated with high expenses in organic foods (OR [95% CI]=0.57 [0.41; 0.80]). Conclusions These results suggest exposure to organic food outlets and their use are related, providing knowledge for cities’ commercial planning with the aim of promoting spatial access to organic food for their inhabitants. Key messages • Exposure to organic food outlets and their use are related. • Food environment may influence consumers’ grocery shopping behaviors.

The Nutri-Score – A Quantitative Study of the Effectiveness of Visual Nudging on Consumer Behavior

Globally, unhealthy diets have a significant impact on people's risk of disease and mortality, so the German Ministry of Nutrition and Agriculture also focuses on healthier and balanced diets in its reduction and innovation strategy. By means of the Nutri-Score, the nudging principle is used to provide consumers with additional nutritional labelling and to encourage the purchase of healthier foods. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of visual nudging in FMCGs, i.e., the food industry, in the form of the Nutri-Score on consumers' purchase decisions and to validate its robustness with respect to demographic factors. For this purpose, an online survey was conducted with 294 participants leading to a total number of up to 3,528 observations regarding their purchase intention of selected products. A logistic regression analysis showed that the purchasing behaviour changed with the insertion of the Nutri-Score per se and with subjects avoiding negatively rated products and preferring positively rated ones. It was further shown that these effects persist regardless of participants’ demographics.

Economic impact assessment of public incentives to support farm-to-school food purchases

Farm-to-school projects have been widely supported by policy makers with funding provided at state and federal levels. Still, many of the outcomes of this inflow of policy and funding remain unclear, often due to insufficient data to examine them. In 2018, New York State (USA) announced the 30% NY Initiative that substantially increases school lunch reimbursements if school districts purchase at least 30% of their ingredients as New York food products. With detailed food purchasing data from the second largest school district in the state and the largest to qualify for enhanced reimbursement, we estimate the gross and net economic impacts of the policy through a customized input–output model. We observe clear shifts in food spending categories that suggest changes in what and where foods were purchased. Results demonstrate net positive value added impacts of the policy even when a negative impact is applied to account for the cost of the policy to taxpayers. For every dollar in gross domestic product lost in the state to support the program, $1.06 of gross domestic product is expected to be added. However, the results are only true to the extent that the increase in local food spending is commensurate with an expansion of the related farm and food product industries to meet that demand. Specifically, at least 67% of the growth in local food spending must contribute to new aggregate demand for the related food product industries, rather than reallocation from other local marketing channels.

Using a divider nudge in supermarket shopping trolleys to increase fruit and vegetable purchases: A feasibility study using an intervention design.

Fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption is associated with a reduced risk of developing obesity and chronic diseases: however, only one in 16 Australian adults consume F&Vs at the recommended two servings of fruit and five servings of vegetables per day. What and how much people eat is influenced by their social and physical environments. Supermarkets are a key setting influencing food purchases, and as such, they can shape consumption patterns of F&Vs. Implementing effective strategies to increase F&V intake is crucial. The objective of this research was to test the feasibility of covertly modifying shopper purchasing behaviour to purchase more F&Vs using a visual divider nudge message (prompts) covering the entire base of shopping trolleys. Placards provided a visual representation of the recommended proportion of the trolley base that should be allocated to fruits and vegetables (implied social norm). Applying an intervention research design, 30 out of ~100 trolleys were fitted with the placards and shopper purchases were measured by collecting receipts to measure the weight (kg), total spending and F&V specific spending (Australian dollars) for intervention versus control trolleys for one weekend day only. We also conducted a short intercept survey that was administered independently from the research study day on non-trial shoppers. Shoppers who selected trolleys with the divider nudge placards (n = 102) purchased equal weight of F&Vs (Intervention: mean = 6.25 kg, SD = 5.60 kg, 95% CI = 5.14 kg, 7.35 kg, vs. Control: mean 6.03 kg, SD = 5.17 kg, 95% CI = 5.01 kg, 7.04 kg, p = 0.768) and spent equal amounts on F&Vs compared to shoppers in the control group (n = 102) (Intervention: mean = $41.46, SD = $36.68, 95% CI = $34.25, $48.66, vs. Control: mean $39.85, SD = $33.30, 95% CI = $33.34, $46.39, p = 0.744). There was no difference in the total spending between groups (Intervention: mean = $135.99, SD = $90.10, 95% CI = $118.29, $153.68, vs. Control: mean $155.68, SD = $96.46, 95% CI = $136.73, $174.63, p = 0.133). The divider nudge placard did not lead to any difference in shoppers' purchases of F&Vs. However, this study demonstrates the feasibility of testing a cheap, simple and easy supermarket nutrition intervention. Larger studies are required to elucidate and confirm these findings over the longer term.
