Consumers are becoming increasingly more informed about food systems and are interested not only in healthy, safe, and tasty food but also in sustainable production, animal welfare, climate changes, and food waste. Consumers are also more focused on changing their lifestyle related to improved health knowledge and nutrition education (Timmer 2005). Maxwell and Slater ( 2004) have proposed criteria to evaluate food systems, including nutrition and health, rights and influence, security, sustainability, equality, and social inclusion. The authors also point out that the primary international institutions in the food value chain are not only the Food and

The concept of work-family balance is usually defined as the act of balancing of inter-role pressures between the work and family domains that lead to role conflict. The conflict is driven by the organizations' views of the "ideal worker" as well as gender disparities and stereotypes that ignore or discount the time spent in the unpaid work of family and community. Balancing actions are mainly aimed at the change of the women's employment by more gender equity in fields of paid employment (including career and responsibilities) and family care work to achieve equal satisfaction, engagement, and good functioning of individuals in both spheres.A broader version of this concept is a work-life balance, which includes not only family, but also "everything else," the individual lifestyle (for example, leisure, health, spiritual practices, hobbies, community involvement). The main components are time, psychological involvement, and satisfaction balances between gendered work and family roles (Greenhaus, Collins, and Shaw 2003).
