11 pages., via online journal., Pick a better snack™, a multicomponent social marketing intervention to promote fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption, develops children’s ability to ask their parents for F&V. This study’s purpose was to understand this “pester power” from the child’s perspective. Pester power is leveraging children’s ability to convince their parents to purchase items in the store that they normally would not have considered buying. Focus groups were conducted with third-grade program participants (n = 30) and involved a traditional discussion format, a drawing activity, and role-playing. Most of the communication participants described involved straightforward requests, although a few children described behaviors such as whining. Most reported their parents responded affirmatively to requests, and some described a positive emotional response from parents. Parent denials were typically related to concerns about cost or the child not eating the item after purchase. Findings pointed to high self-efficacy and response efficacy among these children, although role-playing of effective asking strategies and addressing reasons why parents deny requests could enhance the program. Social marketing efforts including children should consider how pester power may play a role in moving adult behavior.

Notes:
2 pages, The objective of this study was to assess the possibility of mobile phone use by vegetable farmers for dissemination of agricultural extension services in the South Gezira Locality. Descriptive approach was used and 280 farmers are selected from 1025 farmers in South Gezira Locality. A close ended questionnaire was constructed to collect primary data from 280 vegetable farmers in three units in the South Gezira Locality in April 2019. The collected data were coded, fed to computer and statistically analyzed using SPSS to show frequency distribution and chi-square to test the postulated hypotheses. Results showed that the majority of respondents (92.2%) were males, middle in age and literate, 70% of the farmers had an experience in the cultivation of vegetables more than ten years. The majority of respondents possess normal and smart mobile phones 81% of the farmers had an experience in the use of mobile phones, 81% used mobile phone for both social contact and collection of information. About 53.1% of the respondents used mobile phone for access of the internet. Chi-square test showed a significant association between having a mobile phone, mobile type, use of a mobile and benefits obtained from using a mobile and some personal characteristics of respondents. From this study, it can be concluded that it was possible to use mobile phone in the delivery of agricultural extension services to vegetable farmers in South Gezira Locality. The study recommended that farmers families should be encouraged to use mobile phones by supporting them financially and materially by governments and private sector. More awareness and training of both farmers and extension agents on the effective and efficient use of mobile phone facilities are recommended.

Notes:
Online via AgriMarketing Weekly. 2 pages., Findings of a survey of more than 1,000 U.S. adults commissioned by Proagrica indicated that 39% of U.S. consumers considered going vegetarian or vegan since the COVID-19 pandemic began. These attitudes were apparent in relation to both grocery shopping and eating out. Health was cited as the main reason for considering changes in diet, followed closely by the cost of meat.
25 pages., Online via UI e-subscription., Researchers investigated consumer attitudes toward vegetarianism, using two studies involving interviews with vegetarians and meat eaters. Text analysis revealed that "emotionally calibrated consumers were 'moral vegetarians' who find meat repulsive and make ethical food choices." Cognitively calibrated consumers were found to be 'health vegetarians' who "scanned the nutrition information, avoided meat due to health restrictions, and embraced vegetarianism for healthy life." Findings prompted suggestions for promoting vegetarianism.

Online via the publication. 3 pages., Findings of a poll by The Packer indicated that "properly administered social responsibility programs
do exactly that, or at least can be a significant factor in helping accomplish that goal." They can help ensure that workers are treated well according to health and safety standards and compensated fairly. Such programs also provide to the wider company a greater sense of purpose that workers' jobs
contribute to something greater than profits.

14 pages, We conducted a survey to characterize certified California farmers markets (FMs) regarding location, seasonality, size, product, product labeling, advertising methods, postharvest practices, regulations governing vendors, training offered, and training interests. Data obtained from the survey highlight the need for improvement regarding food safety and can serve as a basis for development of collaborative education by Extension educators, regulatory agencies, and FMs. Extension professionals can play a proactive role in such training opportunities, focusing outreach efforts for training according to applicable findings and including online training venues to maximize reach to stakeholders.
