“…Authors such as Greene (2010), Regattieri et al (2007), Siena et al (2008) and Verbeke (2001) agree that a traceability system has various facets to address when it is implemented, such as unique identification of an animal and meat products, processing information, animal movements and animal health. Figure 3 below is a summary of the goals of a traceability system, as illustrated by Greene (2010) where the animal health is monitored by combining certain criteria, and together with the movements, ensure safe meat to export markets.…”

Namibia expanded its livestock traceability system to include data of the Northern communal farmers, with ear-tagging starting in 2010, and full functionality added in 2014. The new technology enables them to export safe meat products to previously-excluded overseas markets. In this article, the complexities of a livestock traceability system are explained to provide one with a sense of the lengths countries like Namibia went through to successfully implement such a system. Next, a new framework is proposed to apply to agricultural development projects, called the Impact-for-sustainable agriculture framework, with all the facets of the framework explained. Finally, the framework is applied to the Namibian Livestock Identification and Traceability System (NamLITS), with the focus on the Northern Communal Areas (NCAs). NamLITS is an example of a successful agricultural development project, and it is hoped that this new framework can be applied to other agricultural initiatives.

“…Consumer demand and growing consumer concerns about food safety are often brought up as the major reasons for the recent interest in traceability systems (Verbeke, 2001). However, despite acknowledging this there is not much empirical research on real consumer demand and consumers' view of traceability.…”

“…However, some authors (Gellynck & Verbeke, 2001;Verbeke, 2001) have brought up the role of the retail industry as a gatekeeper in traceability. Retailers are largely concerned about traceability because they are concerned about market shares and have financial responsibilities to their shareholders.…”

“…The importance of effective communication with consumers is recognized as a central issue (Brooker, 2003;Verbeke, 2001), but research on consumer use of food labels is limited (Wang et al, 1995). Today European consumers are more educated and demand more information.…”

“…Traceability is seen to have the potential to fulfil the need for trustworthy information by serving as the basis for reliable communication with customers and consumers (Verbeke, 2001). Food businesses need verification and traceability to be able to label accurately, to substantiate marketing claims and to inform consumers about credence quality attributes.…”

Homepage: www.norden.org Nordic Council of Ministers Nordic Council Consumer Co-operation in the Nordic CountriesThe aim of the co-operation in the Nordic Committee of Senior Officials on Consumer Affairs is to promote consumer safety, protect their financial and legal interests, inform consumers and promote their education, and promote consumer influence in society. Exchange of information, reports, and research will contribute to the Nordic consumer policy and provides a platform for joint Nordic presentation in international contexts. Nordic co-operationNordic co-operation, one of the oldest and most wide-ranging regional partnerships in the world, involves Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland. Cooperation reinforces the sense of Nordic community while respecting national differences and similarities, makes it possible to uphold Nordic interests in the world at large and promotes positive relations between neighbouring peoples.Co-operation was formalised in 1952 when the Nordic Council was set up as a forum for parliamentarians and governments. The Helsinki Treaty of 1962 has formed the framework for Nordic partnership ever since. The Nordic Council of Ministers was set up in 1971 as the formal forum for cooperation between the governments of the Nordic countries and the political leadership of the autonomous areas, i.e. the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland.Political Consumerism: Its motivations, power and conditions ... Late modern consumers do more than just think about their own wellbeing when doing their daily shopping. Increasingly, consumers express non-economic values through the market arena, especially with regard to such issues as human rights, animal rights, global solidarity and environmental responsibility. What we see in the Nordic countries and elsewhere is that people are active in boycotting and "buycotting" (i.e. positively choosing) products and producers for ethical and political reasons. Old and new civil society actors also shoulder responsibility for problems earlier considered exclusively a state concern. They initiate and participate in the development of new consumer-oriented policy instruments such as eco-or fair trade labels. New social movements are mobilized with new "cultural jamming" tactics; i.e. directly targeting and making ridiculous the names and logos of transnational corporations. The concept of political consumerism draws on the observation that consumer choice and the rising politics of products is an increasingly important form of political participation that exists parallel to conventional party-centered and national state level politics Sø-rensen 2004). Political consumerism has formally been defined as consumer choice of producers and products with the goal of changing objectionable institutional or market practices. It...
