An Exploratory study of factors related to Consumer Behaviour towards purchase of Fruits and Vegetables from different Retail Formats

The purpose of this study is to identify the variant consumer behaviour aspects in purchasing of the perishable products especially like fruits and vegetables in context with Asian consumers keeping the main focus towards developing retail markets especially in Indian context. Different channels of retailing and their formats with Foreign Direct Investment will help the global retail giants to enter the markets by identifying diverse purchasing factors related to fruits and vegetables as it forms the staple product of consumption irrespective of the demographical, physiological, socio – economic variables across the countries or their individual states.

Toward accounting for ecoclimate teleconnections: intra- and inter-continental consequences of altered energy balance after vegetation change

Context Vegetation is projected to continue to undergo major structural changes in coming decades due to land conversion and climate change, including widespread forest die-offs. These vegetation changes are important not only for their local or regional climatic effects, but also because they can affect climate and subsequently vegetation in other regions or continents through ‘‘ecoclimate teleconnections’’. Objectives We propose that ecoclimate teleconnections are a fundamental link among regions within and across continents, and are central to advancing largescale macrosystems ecology. Methods and results We illustrate potential ecoclimate teleconnections in a bounding simulation that assumes complete tree cover loss in western North America due to tree die-off, and which predicts subsequent drying and reduced net primary productivity in other areas of North America, the Amazon and elsewhere. Central to accurately modeling such
