- James F. Evans Collection, Ham, Mimeographed, 1994. 1 p. Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., Food-borne illnesses caused by improper food handling in the home is a major food safety concern. To determine what consumers know about food safety, and food handling practices, a survey was developed, piloted and mailed to 1,003 randomly selected residences throughout the state of Idaho (return rate = 52%). Food safety knowledge and food safety practice items that were part of the survey included: food preparation (cooking raw eggs), food storage (leaving poultry out for long periods of time), environmental concerns (pesticide residues), and food preservation (canning green beans). Results indicate that younger consumers and those with less education knew less about food safety and safe food handling. Information regarding these results will help nutrition educators target food safety education to populations that are at higher risk for having a food-borne illness because of lack of knowledge and poor food handling practices.

- James F. Evans Collection, Ham, Mimeographed, 1994. 1 p. Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., To develop a nutrition education program that will result in behavior change, one must know the current food intake behavior and nutrition knowledge base of the consumer. This descriptive study assessed the current nutrition knowledge base of consumers concerning fiber food sources and fiber-health relationships and food intake reflective of fiber sources. A survey was developed, piloted and mailed to 1,003 randomly selected households using a modified Dillman method. The survey included knowledge questions and food frequency and demographic information. A total of 466 usable surveys (52% usable return rate) and analysis of variance, form the basis of the following results. Sixty-six percent of the respondents were female and 34% were male. The majority were over the age of 30 (88%) and 66% had more than a high school education. Consumers with vocational training and come college education (mean +or- SD, 4.1 +or- 1.6) had a significantly higher knowledge score (score range 0-7) concerning food sources of fiber and fiber-health relationships than those who had a high school education (3.9 +or- 1.6) (p < 0.05). There was a trend of more fiber containing foods being consumed as the age of the consumer increased (p=0.057). When looking at food intake by food group, females consumed significantly more fruits and vegetables than males (p<0.05). From this information it should appear that extension nutrition about food sources of fiber and fiber-health relationships should target younger, non-college educated consumers and especially men.

- Notes:
- James F. Evans Collection, Ham, Mimeographed, 1994. 1 p. Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., A telephone survey of a national sample of American consumers is being conducted in the spring of 1994 to provide baseline data on food label use and to provide insights into consumer use and understanding of labels. Results will guide education initiatives to help consumers use the new food label to achieve healthier diets. The survey examines overall label use, specific purposes for using the label, and use and understanding of critical label information, including serving size, nutrient claims and health claims. Current label use will be examined in terms of key demographic and dietary management characteristics (e.g., gender, education, health status). Major implications of the findings for food label education will be presented.

- 5 pages., 2018 5th International Conference on Power and Energy Systems Engineering, CPESE 2018, 19–21 September 2018, Nagoya, Japan, via online journal., Agriculture plays an important in providing food security and sustainability for the people in any country. However, lack of funding and limited distribution channels to reach customers are frequent problems faced by farmers to meet the level of sustainability. Agriculture’s sustainability can be strengthened by allowing an innovation of services such as Financial Technology (FinTech), and digital marketplace. Digital marketplace with Fintech enabled might transform agriculture’s business process into more sustainable in term of funding and distribution. FinTech offers farmers convenient ways of getting sources of funding through crowdfunding and digital payment system. Thus, digital marketplace can act as a platform for FinTech to integrate the innovative financial solution into broader agriculture’s ecosystem. The study proposes a modelling digital marketplace with FinTech enabled especially crowdfunding and payment system in order to support agriculture’s sustainability. The model connects all actors (farmers, landowners, investors, and consumers) into a platform that can promote transparency, empowerment, resourcefulness, and public engagement in agriculture.
