Meat Consumption Patterns and Intentions for Change Among Finnish Consumers
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)

During the past few decades, meat has increasingly become a subject of controversies relating to health and safety, environment, and animal welfare. Even though these changes in perceptions of meat are not yet visible in aggregate consumption figures, they can be observed in individual consumption patterns and as intentions to change the consumption. In this study, we examine changes in meat consumption among the Finnish consumers taking into account both stated changes in the past and intended changes in the future. Based on these changes, we identify consumer segments and investigate in which ways these segments differ from each other socio-demographically and with respect to current meat consumption and the stated reasons for the change. The latent...

CONSUMER INTENTIONS OF BUYING POULTRY MEAT UNDER PERCEIVED BIOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL OR TECHNOLOGICAL RISK IN FINLAND
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Heikkila,   Jaakko; Pouta,   Eija; Forsman-Hugg,   Sari; Makela,   Johanna.
The study focuses on various types of food safety risks: biological (zoonoses), chemical (chemical treatment of the meat) and technological (use of genetically modified feed). The emphasis was on how the perceived risks affect the purchase intentions in the case of broiler meat. In the case of each risk products the attitude-level variables had importance in explaining the buying intentions. The heterogeneity of the respondents regarding the purchase intentions of risk products was analysed by latent class logistic regression that included all three risk products. About 60% of the respondents belonged to the group of risk avoiders in which the purchase intention of risk food was significantly lower than in the second group of risk neutrals in which 64% of...

Consumers' choice of broiler meat in Finland: the effects of country of origin and production methods
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Pouta,   Eija; Forsman-Hugg,   Sari; Heikkila,   Jaakko; Isoniemi,   Merja; Makela,   Johanna; Paananen,   Jaana.
Among consumers there is an increasing interest and concern about the ways food is produced. This calls for the poultry industry to differentiate their products and production methods to directions valued by the consumers. In this study we use choice experiment to analyse the importance of broiler production method and the country of origin for the Finnish consumers. In the experiment, we offer several alternatives for regular broiler, including products that have been produced using organic methods, as well as products produced by emphasising animal welfare or consumer health aspects. The conditional logit model of consumer preferences for broiler meat in Finland revealed the very strong positive perceptions of domestically produced broiler products....

Economics of invasive alien species: pre-emptive versus reactive control
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Heikkila,   Jaakko.
The expanding global economy presents various challenges to production and environmental systems worldwide. Biosecurity provides a framework for managing the risks presented by different types of diseases and species spread by globalisation. One element of biosecurity is protection against invasive alien species (IAS). These are species spread by human actions outside their natural zones of dispersal. IAS present a threat to biological diversity at all levels and may have a negative impact on the goods and services provided by ecosystems. IAS may result in non-production and production costs. The first category includes physical impacts materialising as environmental, health and cultural costs, whereas the second category includes the subsequent economic...

Agricultural Production with Change and Uncertainty: A Temporal Case Study Simulation of Colorado Potato Beetle
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Heikkila,   Jaakko; Peltola,   Jukka.
Changes in climatic and policy environments combined with uncertainty related to stochastic environmental fluctuations make design of invasive pest policy challenging. These external changes are often exacerbated by changes in the species characteristics. We discuss facing local change and uncertainty when deciding ex ante on a specific policy strategy. Our empirical case deals with an invasive agricultural pest, Colorado potato beetle, and agricultural production in Finland. Invasions are modelled as temporally random events and stochasticity in key variables is built into the analysis. The viability of two specific policy options is evaluated given uncertainty and local change.

An integrated simulation model to evaluate national policies for the abatement of agricultural nutrients in the Baltic Sea
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hyytiainen,   Kari; Ahtiainen,   Heini; Heikkila,   Jaakko; Helin,   Janne; Huhtala,   Anni; Iho,   Antti; Koikkalainen,   Kauko; Miettinen,   Antti; Pouta,   Eija; Vesterinen,   Janne.
This study introduces a prototype model for evaluating policies to abate agricultural nutrients in the Baltic Sea from a Finnish national point of view. The stochastic simulation model integrates nutrient dynamics of nitrogen and phosphorus in the sea basins adjoining the Finnish coast, nutrient loads from land and other sources, benefits from nutrient abatement (in the form of recreation and other ecosystem services) and the costs of agricultural abatement activities. The aim of this study is to present the overall structure of the model and to demonstrate its potential using preliminary parameters. The model is made flexible for further improvements in all of its ecological and economic components. Results of a sensitivity analysis suggest that...

The Costs of Biosecurity at the Farm Level: the Case of Finnish Broiler
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Siekkinen,   K.-M.; Heikkila,   Jaakko; Tammiranta,   N.; Rosengren,   H.
In the European Union, the animal health and food safety strategy includes managing biosecurity along the entire production chain. Farm-level biosecurity provides the foundation for this. However, the farm-level costs of preventive biosecurity have rarely been assessed. Yet many risk management practices are in place constantly regardless of whether there is a disease outbreak or not. We contribute towards filling this information gap by studying the costs incurred in preventive biosecurity by the Finnish poultry farms. In a preliminary analysis, we find that the cost of biosecurity is some 3.55 cents per bird for broiler producers and 75.7 cents per bird for hatching egg producers. The results indicate that work-time devoted to biosecurity represents some...

Fair policies for the coffee trade - protecting people or biodiversity?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kitti,   Mitri; Heikkila,   Jaakko; Huhtala,   Anni.
We investigate the role that economic instruments can play in the eradication of poverty and preservation of biodiversity in agroforestry management in coffee production. Most of the world's coffee producers live in poverty and manage agro-ecosystems in regions that culturally and biologically are among the most diverse on the globe. Despite the relatively recent finding that bees can augment pollination and boost coffee crop yields substantially, the short-term revenues to be had from intense monoculture drive land-use decisions that destroy forest strips serving as habitats for pollinating insects. Our study investigates the possibility of multiple equilibria in the adoption of technology in coffee production; farmers specialize in environmentally...
