Notes:
Online via AgriMarketing Weekly. 2 pages., Brief report of research by ADM among consumers. Findings identify "six behavioral shifts that will create opportunities for food and beverage manufacturers to gain market share in an increasingly uncertain business environment."
Online from publication issue. 3 pages., Article summarizes findings of the 16th annual "Power of Meat" survey funded by the Food Industry Association (FMI) and the North American Meat Institute's (Meat Institute) Foundation for Meat and Poultry Research and Education. Focuses on beef, pork, and poultry consumption in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The aim of this paper is to present the concept of sustainable consumption, its aspects, awareness and implications for choices concerning food products. Particular attention was paid to consumer choices based on the perception of foodstuff packaging and the perception of the importance of labelling information. Empirical studies have shown that Polish consumers are increasingly more aware of the need for action on sustainable consumption, although it is not always re- fl ected in tangible activities in this area. Still for the majority of Poles it is synonymous with ecoconsumption, and engaging consumers in the concepts of sustainability is manifested e.g. in waste sorting, waste reduction, selection of organic, local products, in ecological packaging, for which they are ready to pay higher prices or search for information on sustainable products. Unfortunately, at present the scale of these activities and attitudes is still limited, thus the primary objective of the environmental, social and economic policies is to provide systematic and intensive consumer education and promote sustainable development.
Online from periodical. 2 pages., Results of BrickMeetsClick/Mercatus Grocery Shopping Survey indicated that roughly 37.5 million U.S. households (29%) used online grocery services in the month of August. That number represents a 133% increase from a year ago. "These results reinforce that grocery delivery and pickup services will continue to play an important role for both shoppers and retailers going forward."
