Assessing the socio-economic dimension of food quality and safety regulations: research challenges and recent advances

Abstract: Introduction Monitoring and Quality Assurance (MoniQA) is a multidisciplinary network of experts aiming at harmonizing worldwide food quality, safety monitoring and control strategies, dealing with socio‐economic impact assessment and working for better regulations (Poms et al., 2009). Objectives MoniQA provides support for a systematic assessment of the socio‐economic effects of new European food quality and safety regulations. Impact is evaluated in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and consiste… Show more

“…Socio‐economic impact of food safety and quality regulations is one of the most important issues covered by MoniQA (Mazzocchi et al , 2009), which aims to support systematic assessment of the socio‐economic impact of European food quality and safety regulations in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and consistency and administrative costs as well as international trade among stakeholders (e.g., consumers, industry, regulatory and control bodies) at different levels (i.e., micro versus macro).…”

“…To cope with the high degree of subjectivity in qualitative assessments of impacts, we propose the adoption of a toolbox based on the multi‐criteria analysis (MCA) approach for the impact assessment of food safety regulations. The development of such toolbox is the aim of the socio‐economic research in the MoniQA Network of Excellence (NoE) (Mazzocchi et al , 2009). The use of MCA, strictly based on a transparent scoring system, allows a comparison of policy options under uncertainty of impacts, where both qualitative and quantitative indicators can enter the analysis.…”
