📢 New paper out! “Right to Adequate Food, Food Losses and Waste, and Gender. Overlapping Issues: conflicting solutions?” (in Spanish - peer-reviewed in Revista Economía y Política) With Mariano G. Valentini, we explore regulatory initiatives to address unhealthy diets, food loss and waste and gender in Colombia, Chile and Argentina, to assess whether the legal response to these intersecting conflicts are cohesive or contradictory - both within national borders and according to international human rights standards. Constructive comments welcome and appreciated ! https://lnkd.in/evdymKrV

📢 Publication 📢 I'm thrilled to share our latest publication in the journal of International Management with René Díaz Pichardo ICN Business School . Our research explores the dual impact of socially responsible business communication (SRBC) on consumer behavior. While SRBC can enhance perceptions of corporate ethics and influence purchasing decisions, it can also be misinterpreted as greenwashing. Using signaling theory, we investigated how membership in alternative food networks (AFNs) moderates the impact of SRBC on brand trust. Through a cross-sectional experimental design and Likert-type scales with structural equation modeling, we discovered that individuals in AFNs develop higher brand trust when exposed to SRBC signals. This study advances our understanding of consumer transformation towards sustainable consumption, highlighting the importance of credible SRBC in building brand trust. Read the full study to dive deeper into our findings and their implications for marketers and businesses committed to sustainability. 🌱📊 Montpellier Business School and Chaire COAST | Montpellier Business School (in memory of Helen Etchanchu) DOI: https://lnkd.in/gCCFGmkR  #CSR communication #engagement #Sustainability #BrandTrust #SocialResponsibility #AFNs #ConsumerBehavior #AcademicPublication #ManagementInternational

Today marks the beginning of a new training journey focused on Multilateral Organizations, this time in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). I'm embarking on a course specifically tailored to "Governance of Trade, Food Security, and Nutrition" for the Latin America and Caribbean Region. This course delves into the policy space for food security within the multilateral trading system and emphasizes coherence between national and global policy processes. Its aim is to enhance capacities in Latin America and the Caribbean to formulate and implement evidence-based policies, considering sustainable development needs and structural transformation, alongside food security and nutritional challenges. ## Hoy comienzo un nuevo proceso de formación relacionado con Organizaciones Multilaterales, esta vez de la mano de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO) en un curso enfocado en la "Gobernanza del comercio, la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición”, para la Región de América Latina y el Caribe. Este curso examina el margen de acción en materia de políticas para la seguridad alimentaria en el sistema multilateral de comercio, y la coherencia entre los procesos políticos a nivel nacional y mundial. Con el mismo se pretende fortalecer las capacidades en América Latina y el Caribe, para desarrollar e implementar políticas basadas en evidencia teniendo en cuenta necesidades de desarrollo sostenible y transformación estructural, así como su seguridad alimentaria y los retos de nutrición.

🌍 **Exploring the Impact of Carbon Labels on Consumer Choices** 🌍 Carbon labels are back in fashion. In this 2013 paper by Vincenzina Caputo, Achilleas Vassilopoulos, and Rodolfo M. Nayga Jr., we delve into the comparative effects of carbon labels and food miles—one of the main drivers of carbon emissions—on consumer welfare. 🔍 **Study Overview:** - **Location:** Naples, Italy - **Participants:** 200 consumers - **Focus:** Preferences for fresh tomatoes under different labelling scenarios. **Key Findings:** - Both carbon labels and food miles labels can enhance consumer welfare, with the label detailing time and distance travelled showing a slightly greater positive impact. This study significantly contributes to our understanding of how such labels influence consumer behaviour and welfare in the context of sustainable food consumption. For more in-depth insights, check out our full paper: Caputo, V., Vassilopoulos, A., Nayga, R. M., & Canavari, M. (2013). Welfare Effects of Food Miles Labels.

A nivel global, millones de personas aún enfrentan inseguridad alimentaria debido a factores como el cambio climático, conflictos armados y políticas ineficaces. 🌍 Por ello, en el #DíaMundialDeLaAlimentación, celebrado cada 16 de octubre, reflexionamos sobre la importancia de garantizar la seguridad alimentaria y el derecho a una alimentación adecuada, reconocidos en instrumentos jurídicos internacionales como el PIDESC y la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos. 🌱🌾 En #México, el artículo 4° de la Constitución, junto con leyes como la Ley de Desarrollo Rural Sustentable y la Ley General de Salud, respaldan el derecho a una alimentación nutritiva y de calidad. Además, México refuerza su compromiso con un desarrollo agrícola sostenible al participar activamente en acuerdos internacionales. 🤝 🔗 Lee la nota completa en el enlace: https://lnkd.in/erb3v8Hv

📜 #FOODPathS and its Advisory Board Members have signed a pivotal declaration urging EU #policymakers and food system stakeholders to prioritize working towards future #sustainable #foodsystems. This comes at a critical time as the composition of the new European Commission is yet to be determined. The declaration outlines the essential steps the EU must take to uphold the Farm to Fork (F2F) strategy, a cornerstone of the Green Deal. Addressing the environmental, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability is crucial to ensure food and #nutritionsecurity for future generations. 🌱 Key elements highlighted in the declaration include: ✅ Inclusive Governance: Effective governance at local, national, European, and global levels is vital due to the complexity and interdependence of food systems with societies, economies, cultures, and landscapes. ✅ Food System Approach: Adopting a food system approach is essential for the sustainability transition. ✅ Progress Monitoring & Indicators: Implementing sustainability indicators and monitoring progress is crucial for resource efficiency and institutional trust. Hugo De Vries, Research Director at INRAE and project coordinator of #FOODPathS, eloquently stated: 🗣 “An orchestra may play a symphony if all musicians play harmonically; similarly, a food systems’ partnership reaches sustainability if all its actors (inter-)act sustainably.” This declaration, signed during the second annual FOODPathS meeting in Finland, represents a collective call to action for all food system actors. Waiting is no longer an option – we need action today❗ Learn more about the FOODPathS Finland Declaration and our ongoing efforts towards sustainable food systems on our website 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e-vhm3vC
