“…These consumers better understand the benefits and significance of organic food for health and environmental protection, which increases their willingness to purchase organic beef. This result is in line with the study conducted by Guanqi, Z.; Husnain, M. et al [ 50 ]. Similarly, consumers with a stronger health belief exhibit a higher sense of moral responsibility and are more likely to overcome barriers such as convenience in purchasing organic food [ 43 , 57 ].…”

“…The government can provide relevant financial support and reduce or waive relevant taxes and fees, etc., to reduce the cost of building a digital agricultural product traceability system for agricultural product production enterprises and encourage more enterprises to join the ranks of digital management (3). Actively guide consumers' understanding of the quality and safety traceability of agricultural products and teach them to inquire about product origin and quality information through the traceability system (55,56). Advocating that priority be given to agricultural products with digital quality and safety traceability marks to increase consumers' confidence and sense of security in purchasing.…”

The quality and safety of agricultural products are related to people’s lives and health, economic development, and social stability, and have always been a hot issue of concern to the government and society. The rapid development of digital traceability technology in the digital environment has brought new opportunities for the supervision of agricultural product quality and safety, but the frequent occurrence of agricultural product safety incidents in recent years has exposed many problems such as the lack of governmental supervision, unstandardized production process of enterprises, and weak consumer awareness. To improve the cooperation efficiency of stakeholders and ensure the quality and safety of agricultural products, this paper proposes a dynamic model based on evolutionary game theory. The model incorporates the government, agricultural product producers, and farmers, and evaluates the stability and effectiveness of the system under different circumstances. The results of the study show that there are multiple evolutionary stabilization strategies in the tripartite evolutionary game model of agricultural product quality and safety supervision, and there are corresponding evolutionary stabilization conditions. There are several factors affecting the stability of the system, the most important of which are government regulation, severe penalties for agricultural product producers, and incentives. When these factors reach a certain threshold, the stakeholder cooperation mechanism can establish an evolutionarily stable strategy. This study contributes to the understanding of the operational mechanism of stakeholder cooperation in agricultural product quality and safety regulation in the digital environment and provides decision support and policy recommendations for stakeholders to promote the sustainable development and optimization of agricultural product quality and safety regulation.

“…The high purchasing pattern is determined by an increased level of consumer awareness of safe food and health concerns ( 5 , 6 ). The demand for nutritious organic food is based on its quality ( 7 , 8 ). While the demand for organic food is increasing, the popularity of organic food is not widespread and consumers’ perception of organic food is varied ( 9 ).…”

IntroductionThe popularity of organic food is in increasing trend due to the increased existence of synthetic food worldwide. Hence it is very important to know the knowledge level of city dwellers regarding various aspects of organic food and factors associated with their awareness level.ObjectivesThe primary objective of this research study is to develop a standardized knowledge test to assess the knowledge level of respondents regarding organic food and find out the factors behind elevated knowledge levels.MethodsA standardized knowledge test was developed comprising 26 knowledge items and pilot tested on 42 individuals. Difficulty index, discrimination index and point biserial correlation coefficient were calculated; only 21 knowledge statements were selected out of 26. The reliability coefficient and validity were checked and found satisfactory. The final knowledge test containing 21 knowledge statements was administered to 1050 respondents from various locations of the National Capital Region (NCR)-Delhi, India. After getting the knowledge score from each individual, it was classified as very low, low, medium, high and very high knowledge level. For determining factors contributing towards enhanced knowledge level, the correlation coefficient was calculated between independent socio-economic variables of each individual and their corresponding knowledge score. Regression analysis was also performed and developed a model to depict a relationship between the dependent variable i.e. knowledge level and independent variables.ResultsStandardized knowledge test depicted that a major portion of respondents (62.0%) possessed very low, low and medium levels of knowledge, whereas 23.5 and 14.5% of respondents had high and very high levels of knowledge regarding organic food. Independent variables like gender, education, family size, family income, internet, mass media exposure and social participation had a positive relationship with the knowledge level of respondents. The results of regression analysis show that education (X2), total annual income (X3), gender (X6), participation in various organizations like the club, societies, etc. (X8), health consciousness of individual (X11), perception of organic food (X13); could explain the major share of ~62.1% of the variation in dependent variable i.e. knowledge level.ConclusionThe developed standardized knowledge test for the present study was found valid and appropriate research tool for evaluating the knowledge level of urban citizens regarding organic food. The majority of respondents had a positive attitude towards organic food but possessed low to medium knowledge levels regarding organic food. Occasional awareness campaigns and capacity-building programs regarding various aspects of organic food in educational institutes, residential societies and through mass media can be beneficial to society.
