“…In both retail outlets (C 1 50.53% and C 2 55.56%), the most dominant view was that "safety from abattoir to retail outlet". The term "meat safety" should be viewed from a supply chain perspective that begins with production on the farm, slaughtering of the animal, primary production, and manufacturing and ends with storage and distribution, which includes retail [43]. It is crucial to manage the primary production chain up to the plate of a consumer in a manner that ensures food safety [44].…”

This study was conducted at two different restaurants of Raymond Mhlaba Municipality (Alice), Eastern Cape, South Africa, to determine consumers' social representations of meat safety. A total number of 251 people were interviewed in focus group discussions, each comprising 4-6 interviewees were conducted. Each focus group consisted of university students and staff, and members of rural communities surrounding the town of Alice. A semi-structured questionnaire comprising both closed-ended and open-ended questions was used to collect data. Consumers were concerned about the hygiene at the place of purchase and the freshness of meat. Moreover, they revealed that they were always worried about the risk of food-borne diseases. Although food-borne diseases were not cited as a significant problem, related ideas such as "washing of hands before preparation of food to minimize food-borne diseases" were important to consumers. Consumers indicated that meat safety at the abattoirs should be thoroughly managed given that "hygiene during meat processing is important to prevent the occurrence of food-borne diseases". Consumers in both retail outlets have shown to have a limited understanding of meat safety. Thus, consumers' social representations, perceptions, and knowledge are complex and dynamic with respect to meat safety.

“…Stringer and Hall [11] defined food value chains as a set of material flows calling on the involvement of numerous economic actors with complementary and interdependent functions. In other words, several actors (constituent elements) are intended to interact together to ensure that product development is in line with consumer expectations.…”

Systemic Sustainability of the French Organic Rice and PGI Einkorn Value Chains: A Preliminary Assessment Based on Network Analysis

et al. 2018

Public authorities and consumers increasingly support food value chains that are more environmentally friendly. However, these value chains are faced with technical, economic and institutional limitations, calling into question their long-term viability. Based on two case studies of alternative food chains in France, namely einkorn (Triticum monococcum) in Haute Provence and organic rice in the Camargue, we evaluated their capacity to remain both viable and environmentally, economically and socially sustainable. After assessing the traditional economic, social and environmental performance of their sustainability, we performed a network analysis to determine the survivability of the systems. The combined use of the traditional pillars of sustainability and the network analysis forms what we term the systemic sustainability. Results suggest that the einkorn value chain is characterised by a high degree of centrality represented by a producers' association, although the systemic sustainability of the chain is reduced by its dependence on a leading processor. As for the organic rice value chain, centralised power is exerted by three companies embedded in a strong network of actors characterised by diversified connections. The paper concludes by highlighting the potential interest of conducting a network analysis to better determine the sustainability of food value chains.

“…The require various procurement and sourcing, inventory management, warehouse management, packaging and labeling system and distribution system (Georgiadis, Vlachos, & Iakovu, 2005).The supply chain of food products is more complicated compared to the traditional supply chains as there will be issues related to handling, storage time, delivery efficiency which leads to the requirement of advanced modeling techniques (Lütke Entrup, Günther, van Beek, Grunow, & Seiler, 2005). The aspects such as safety, quality and efficiency are considered by some authors in the food supply chain (Minegishi & Thiel, 2000); (Stringer & Hall, 2006); (Van der Vorst, Beulens, & van Beek, 2000); (Van der Vorst, Tromp, & van der Zee, 2005). Supply chain is defined as a network of interrelated organizations through upstream and downstream links that produce value in the form of products and services to clients in different business processes and activities (Christopher, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, 1992).…”
