“…These results may have occurred as the participants were worried about their employment or their family's employment. A study found that cultivated and plant‐based meats may affect animal farmers, including loss of income and unemployment (Morais‐da‐Silva et al., 2022), and this may explain the involved groups’ attitudes toward PBFs.…”

There is an increasing demand for plant-based alternatives by individuals living in the Western world. One of the newer plant-based alternatives is plant-based fish and seafood (PBFs). This study aimed to investigate individuals' opinions and attitudes toward PBFs, as well as evaluate the effect of involvement in the fishing industry on the participants' attitudes. Participants (n = 183) were asked to answer questions about their perceptions of PBFs. Participants believed that PBFs were environment-friendly and were interested in trying PBFs but were concerned about the taste and texture of PBFs. Although participants were likely to try PBFs, they were less likely to add them to their regular diet. After reading messages about the benefits of PBFs in this study, participants' willingness to try PBFs and add PBFs into their regular diet increased. In addition, those who worked in the fishing industry or had high food neophobic scores did not believe that PBFs would taste like conventional fish and seafood products. Future studies should investigate the attitudes of individuals living in different regions and investigate whether exposure to PBFs affects consumer perceptions of the food product. K E Y W O R D Sconsumer attitude, fish, plant-based alternatives, seafood, taste, texture Practical Application: Consumer demand for new plant-based products is increasing, but before new products can be released, participants' attitudes and perceptions need to be evaluated. Plant-based alternatives to fish and seafood are a new food product, and therefore, participants' attitudes toward them need to be investigated. It was found that the individuals were more willing to try plantbased fish and seafood. In addition, they were more likely to incorporate them into their diet after reading about the nutritional benefits and sustainability of PBFs.

“…According to Morais-da-Silva;Villar;Reis (2022), the potential of plant-based and cultivated meat production for creating new and high-skilled jobs has been highlighted. The impact of novel food production systems on employment in conventional meat production may differ for each value chain stage.…”

PRESENTATIONCollection "Agricultural sciences unveiled: exploring the dynamics of farming and sustainability": a work that has as its main focus a scientific discussion through various works that compose its chapters. The purpose of the Ebook is to explore different contents linked to environmental issues in 19 chapters, tracing a contemporary theme of sustainability and the direct action of human beings in the responsibility and creation of strategies for the development of the environment. The volume will address in a categorized and interdisciplinary way works, investigations, case reports and/or reviews that go through the various areas of the environment and sustainability.It is worth mentioning that sustainability is tied to the growing demand for global progress, with the emergence of the need to expand studies that present alternative uses of the present resources in the environment in a responsible manner, without compromising the benefits and systems involved. Seeking to minimize impacts, develop environmental responsibility and strengthen sustainable growth. Thinking about development allied to sustainability involves economic, social, and cultural aspects.In this way, the work "Agricultural sciences unveiled: exploring the dynamics of farming and sustainability"" presents the foundation of the theory obtained in practice by the authors of this e-book, several professors, academics, and researchers who have arduously developed their work that will be presented here in a manner concise and didactic. The importance of this space for scientific dissemination is evidence or commitment and the structure of Atena Editors that provides us with a consolidated and trustworthy platform for researchers to expose and disseminate their results.The authors hope to contribute with relevant content to provide technical, scientific, and constructive ass...

“…Our survey did not include non-educated respondents. Some experts believe that meat alternatives will create new job opportunities along the production chain (63)(64)(65). Others discussed the possibility of using plant ingredients as culture media instead of bovine serum (64).…”

“…Education will therefore play a crucial role in ensuring that "artificial meat" is produced on the African continent. Animal farmers, crop-growing farmers and the rural community are indeed not generally highly educated and may suffer income losses and job losses as a result of the transition to more urban meat production, as they may not be qualified (63).…”

Consumer perception of “artificial meat” in the educated young and urban population of Africa

et al. 2023

African’s population is expected to grow especially in cities to reach about 2.5 billion in 2050. This will create an unprecedented boom in the demand for animal products over the coming years which will need to be managed properly. Industry stakeholders worldwide have been touting the potential benefits of “artificial meat” in recent years as a more sustainable way of producing animal protein. “Artificial meat” is therefore moving into the global spotlight and this study aimed to investigate how African meat consumers of the coming generations perceive it, i.e., the urban, more educated and younger consumers. Three surveys were conducted with more than 12,000 respondents in total. The respondents came from 12 different countries (Cameroon, Congo, -DRC Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal South Africa, Tanzania and Tunisia). Respondents in this survey prefered the term “artificial meat”. This term was therefore used throughout the survey. “Artificial meat” proved to be fairly well known in the surveyed countries as about 64% the respondents had already heard of “artificial meat.” Only 8.9% were definitely willing to try “artificial meat” (score of 5 on a scale of 1–5) mostly males between 31 and 50 years of age. Furthermore, 31.2% strongly agreed that “artificial meat” will have a negative impact on the rural life (score of 5 on a scale of 1–5) and 32.9% were not prepared to accept “artificial meat” as a viable alternative in the future but were still prepared to eat meat alternatives. Of all the results, we observed significant differences in responses between respondents’ countries of origin, age and education level with interactions between these factors for willingness to try. For instance, the richest and most educated countries that were surveyed tended to be more willing to try “artificial meat.” A similar pattern was observed for willingness to pay, except that gender had no significant effect and age had only a small effect. One major observation is that a large majority of respondents are not willing to pay more for “artificial meat” than for meat from livestock.
