Would Functional Agricultural Foods Improve Human Health?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Traill,   W. Bruce; Arnoult,   Matthieu H.; Chambers,   Stephanie A.; Deaville,   E.R.; Gordon,   Michael H.; John,   P.; Jones,   Philip J.; Kliem,   K.E.; Mortimer,   S.R.; Tiffin,   J. Richard.
Concern over diet-health relationships has moved to the forefront of public health concerns in the UK and much of the developed world. It has been estimated, for example, that obesity costs the UK National Health Service up to £6b per year (Rayner and Scarborough, 2005), but if all consumers were to follow recommended healthy eating guidelines there would be major implications for food consumption, land use and international trade (Srinivasan et al, 2006). This is unlikely to happen, at least in the short term, but it is realistic to anticipate some dietary adjustment toward the recommendations, resulting in an improvement in diet quality (Mazzocchi et al, 2007). Although consumers are reluctant to make major changes to their diets, they may be prepared to...

Calories, Obesity and Health in OECD Countries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mazzocchi,   Mario; Traill,   W. Bruce.
Theoretical models suggest that decisions about diet, weight and health status are endogenous within a utility maximisation framework. In this paper, we model these behavioural relationships in a fixed-effect panel setting using a simultaneous equation system, with a view to determining whether economic variables can explain the trends in calorie consumption, obesity and health in OECD countries and the large differences among countries. The empirical model shows that progress in medical treatment and health expenditure mitigates mortality from diet-related diseases, despite rising obesity rates. While the model accounts for endogeneity and serial correlation, results are affected by data limitations.

A structural model of wealth, obesity and health in the UK
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mazzocchi,   Mario; Traill,   W. Bruce.
Based on a household health production framework, this paper exploits the combination of socioeconomic, health and nutrition information from the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey to analyze the endogenous relationship among wealth, nutrition, weight and the final health outcomes. Results show that higher wealth determines lower weight and better health as expected, but through a better diet rather than extra exercise or lower calorie consumption.

Reformulation for healthier food: a qualitative assessment of alternative approaches
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Traill,   W. Bruce; Bech-Larsen,   Tino; Gennaro,   Laura; Koziol‐Kozakowska,   Agnieszka; Kuhn,   Sofia; Wills,   Jo.
Many prepared and take‐away foods contain high levels of ‘unhealthy’ nutrients such as salt, trans and saturated fats and sugar. As diets have developed to include higher proportions of these products, consumers intakes have grown beyond World Health Organisation recommended maximum levels. Countries have responded by regulatory action (Denmark’s banning of trans fats) or collaborative (voluntary) measures with industry. This paper presents findings from case study research in Denmark, the UK, Italy and Poland and at the EU level to address the research questions: Have reformulation actions been effective and cost‐effective? Is collaborative action between government and industry more likely to be effective than industry acting alone? Are there...

Modelling the likely impact of healthy eating guidelines on agriculture in England and Wales
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Arnoult,   Matthieu H.; Jones,   Philip J.; Tranter,   Richard B.; Tiffin,   J. Richard; Traill,   W. Bruce.
Household food consumption data is used to estimate likely changes in diet under healthy eating guidelines, and the consequences this would have on the agricultural sector in England and Wales. The first step entails imposing nutrient restrictions on food consumption following dietary recommendations. The resulting diet is then used as a proxy for demand in agricultural commodities, to test the impact of such a scenario on agricultural land use and production. Results of the diet optimisation indicate a severe drop in foods rich in saturated fats and sugar, essentially cheese and sugar-based products, along with lesser cuts in fat and meat products Conversely, consumption of fruit &amp; vegetables, cereals, and flour would increase to meet dietary fibre...

Food Scares and Consumer Behaviour: A European Perspective
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mazzocchi,   Mario; Lobb,   Alexandra E.; Traill,   W. Bruce.
In this paper a consumer food choice model based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) is extended to account for risk perception and trust. The data are from a nationally representative European survey of 2 725 respondents from five countries, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The model relates the intention to purchase chicken in an extended TPB framework, which incorporates risk perceptions, and trust in alternative sources of food safety information. This model was run for two behaviours of interest: the standard likelihood of intention to purchase and the likelihood of intention to purchase conditional on news about a salmonella incident. The model has good predictive power and shows distinct country differences. Only in...

THE SPARTA Model: An Econometric Analysis of Consumer Behaviour under Risk
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mazzocchi,   Mario; Lobb,   Alexandra E.; Traill,   W. Bruce.
This paper explores the role of trust in food safety information in determining consumer choice in relation to socio-demographic effects and other determinants. The complexity of factors influencing the way a consumer processes food safety information makes it difficult to develop adequate risk communication strategies. This is, however, a priority for current European policy and this paper tries to answer some key questions: (1) can the consumer be segmented into socio-demographic groups in relation to their trust in food safety information? (2) are country and cultural differences relevant in the way food safety information is processed? (3) how do risk perception and trust in food safety information influence food choice in relation to other...

Risk perception and chicken consumption in the avian flu age -– a consumer behaviour study on food safety information
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lobb,   Alexandra E.; Mazzocchi,   Mario; Traill,   W. Bruce.
As the avian flu pandemic threatens Europe, consumer awareness of the ‘theoretical’ possibility of contraction of the avian flu virus through consumption of chicken saw a decline in demand at the end of 2005, with peaks between 40% - 50% in Southern European countries such as Italy whilst having little impact on demand in Northern countries like the UK.  Such food scares, coupled with an increasing awareness of food safety issues by the general public, highlight the importance of evaluating the perceived risks associated with food purchasing and consumption are paramount in order to provide effective policy communication in this area.    There is considerable empirical evidence that different consumers respond to food risk communication in different ways....

OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE KNOWLEDGE: IMPACTS ON CONSUMER DEMAND FOR GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE EUROPEAN UNION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: House,   Lisa; Lusk,   Jayson L.; Jaeger,   Sara; Traill,   W. Bruce; Moore,   Melissa; Valli,   Carlotta; Morrow,   Bert; Yee,   Wallace M.S.
In the growing body of literature on consumer acceptance of genetically modified (GM) foods, there are significant differences on the impact of knowledge on acceptance of GM foods.  One potential explanation is the manner in which knowledge is measured.  The goal of this study is to differentiate and examine the impact of both subjective and objective knowledge related to acceptance of genetically modified foods.  Data from surveys collected in the United States, England, and France is used.
