“…Yet, we had then better use the term ''responsive trust.'' With responsive trust, it is no longer predictability that is central in a trusting relation, but it is the socalled ''tacit demand of trust'' (Løgstrup, 1959;Lagerspetz, 1998). The trustor presupposes that the trustee has not merely the ability to accept responsibility, but the trustee feels an obligation to respond to the trust placed in her.…”

ABSTRACT. The many well-publicized food scandals in recent years have resulted in a general state of vulnerable trust. As a result, building consumer trust has become an important goal in agri-food policy. In their efforts to protect trust in the agricultural and food sector, governments and industries have tended to consider the problem of trust as merely a matter of informing consumers on risks. In this article, we argue that the food sector better addresses the problem of trust from the perspective of the trustworthiness of the food sector itself. This broad idea for changing the focus of trust is the assumption that if you want to be trusted, you should be trustworthy. To provide a clear understanding of what being trustworthy means within the food sector, we elaborate on both the concept of trust and of responsibility. In this way we show that policy focused on enhancing transparency and providing information to consumers is crucial, but not sufficient for dealing with the problem of consumer trust in the current agri-food context.

“…In empirical research evidence has been found that decisions to trust are not always thought of as risky gambles (Eckel & Wilson 2004). From another disciplinary background, Lagerspetz (1998) has drawn similar conclusions. In his philosophical analysis he underscores that trust is something fundamentally different from risk taking.…”

“…This does not imply that one no longer runs a risk, but rather, that from the perspective of the trustor, one does not deliberately take a risk (cf. Lagerspetz, 1998). This acting ''as if'' is not an escape to a make-belief world of certainty.…”

Trust, Food, and Health. Questions of Trust at the Interface between Food and Health

ABSTRACT. The food sector and health sector become more and more intertwined. This raises many possibilities, but also questions. One of them is the question of what the implication is for public trust in food and health issues. In this article, I argue that the products on the interface between food and health entails some serious questions of trust. Trust in food products and medical products is often based upon a long history of rather clear patterns of mutual expectations, yet these expectations are not similar in both sectors. As long as the food sector and health sector remain distinct, these differences will not lead to problems of trust, yet when new products are introduced, like functional foods or personalized dietary advices, trust can be threatened. To prevent this, we need clarity with regard to what we can expect of these new products and of whom to expect what in this situation. This requires not only adequate information on operating procedures, but also a profound debate on responsibilities and the explication and interpretation of moral values and norms.
