“…Therefore, an evaluation for those types of SFSCs can provide more understanding for requirements, concerning traceability. In addition, as Kalfagianni and Skordili (2018) state one of the main challenges in SFSCs is the difficulty in proving the origin of foodstuff due to a lack of awareness concerning traceability. Therefore, more development in this area is required for SFSCs.…”

“…There is a need for consumers to make a valued decision when buying food, which can be supported in shorter, more local food supply chains. Challenges facing SFSCs include demonstrating the locality of food due to issues with traceability, and the governance of products (Kalfagianni & Skordili, 2018). Aggregation of producers and products, in addition to appropriate information flow, are needed to overcome the challenges and create successful SFSCs (McLaughlin & Shermain, 2014).…”

Perceptions towards unsustainable supply chain practices in global, mainstream food systems are motivating a shift towards short food supply chains. Short food supply chains are developed to remove the physical and social distances between producer and consumer. Advances in digital technologies offer promise for short food supply chains, including platforms that can enable real-time data flow, create visibility, and support sustainable practices. This research aims to prioritise attractive quality requirements of short food supply chain digital platforms. The methodology consists of a literature review and Kano analysis for requirements prioritisation. The results show that the requirements span across the four Kano categories, attractive quality encompassing the largest number of requirements. The attractive quality requirements identified offer increased levels of satisfaction when present and have limited negative impact when missing. Therefore, they are considered exciting for potential users of a system. The limitations of the research and areas of future work are presented.

“…Due to their economies of scale and scope, large corporations can be able to supply food products at lower prices (Jarzebowski et al, 2020). However, if these companies had to pay for the negative environmental effects, their food prices would increase consumers' costs by between 12 and 28% (Kalfagianni and Skordili, 2018) and would put SFSCs in a more competitive position, in terms of price.…”

Frontiers Research Topics

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.

Consumption:the elephant in the room

The consumption of goods and services is an understudied key contributor to the climate and environmental crises. In this dissertation we investigated how to change and reduce consumption for sustainability, from a broad multi-disciplinary perspective. First, based on a ten-discipline review of what influences consumption, we present a framework emphasizing that consumption, much more than driven by “consumers”, is a complex phenomenon that arises from the (inter)actions of multiple agents and contexts. Governments, businesses, marketers, producers, and media are some of these actors. They influence and are influenced by social, cultural, geographic, infrastructural, technological, political, institutional, economic, and historical contexts. Historical research indicates that the shift to a consumer society was a deliberate process set with the intention of stimulating the growth-economy. As a next step we investigated what it takes to reduce consumption. We concluded that it requires abstaining from consumption, but also consuming differently (e.g., second-hand, good-quality, non-disposable), engaging in low-consumption practices (e.g., sharing, repairing, self-provisioning) and contexts that enable low-consumption living. The remaining chapters of the dissertation focused on how to change food systems for sustainability, by investigating in detail actors and contexts of Alternative Food Networks (AFNs). We interviewed organisers of AFNs in three countries (Portugal, Poland, and the Netherlands) to understand the factors that support or hinder the development of diverse types of AFNs. Finally, in a case-study of a non-profit food co-op supermarket we studied how food waste is managed (quantitatively and qualitatively) and showed how it differed from conventional retail.
