cited reference, In 1970 the need for a news and review journal directed towards extension and research workers was assessed by a survey carried out in three areas of Victoria, two of Queensland and one of New South Wales. One hundred and seven completed questionnaires, when analyzed, indicated that there was no real demand or prospective audience for such a journal. It was suggested that circulars dealing with the direct application of research results should be further developed. These should be aimed primarily at extension officers but should be freely available to professional agricultural scientists.

Online via keyword search of UI Library ecatalog., Report of newspaper reading among 241 farmers in Gujarat State, India. Findings suggested that newspapers play an important part in popularizing the agricultural practices of farmers. Author recommended that sufficient space should be given to agricultural information, and it should be published on time, more understandable, interesting, acceptable to readers, and in regional-language newspapers.
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.
