Consumer Perception of Food Attributes
Author: Shigeru MatsumotoPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1315296209
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
Food credence attributes are food features that are difficult to verify even after consumption. Consumers, today, are concerned about many food credence attributes, including animal rights, contamination risk, fair trade practice, genetic modification, geographical origin, and organic farming. For the past several decades, many scholars have analyzed the value consumers place on credence attributes and have reported that consumers will pay a premium for foods with these desirable properties. In addition, their studies reveal that individual consumers place greater importance on some credence attributes than others. For example, some are seriously concerned about animal welfare, while others are solely concerned about food safety. One of the objectives of this book is to summarize recent empirical findings from scholarly works on how consumers value food credence attributes. Such knowledge would benefit producers, processors, retailers, and policy makers. Another objective of this book is to discuss the effectiveness of the programs that have been introduced to strengthen the relationship between producers and consumers. Many programs have been developed to more effectively inform consumers regarding food production processes.

This guidebook presents a module template for effectively including livestock in multitopic and agricultural household surveys in low- and middle- income countries. It is a practical tool for survey practitioners to collect data on the role of livestock in the household economy and its contribution to livelihoods. The data will assist in generating statistics on key features of the smallholder livestock sector - from herd size and composition to husbandry and production practices, from meat, milk and egg production to livestock income.
