The Effect of Sustainability Information on Consumers' Preferences for Fungus‐Resistant Grape Wine

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The demand for sustainable food production is intensifying the need to reduce the environmental and social impacts of pesticide use in agriculture. In viticulture, where dependence on pesticides is high because grapevines are susceptible to fungal diseases, fungus‐resistant grape varieties (PIWI) offer a promising strategy to reduce chemical ...

Churned on the Farm, Valued by Customers: Southeast U.S. Consumers' Willingness‐to‐Pay for Farmstead Ice Cream

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Consumer demand for value‐added dairy products has grown substantially, yet consumer preferences for origin information (including farmstead) on ice cream remain underexplored. We used a stated preferences choice experiment to elicit consumers' willingness‐to‐pay (WTP) for ice cream across nine states in the Southeastern U.S.

Institutional Transition and Performance Dynamics in a Federated Agricultural Cooperative: Longitudinal Evidence From Indonesia

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural cooperatives in many developing countries have evolved under strong state involvement, resulting in changing institutional conditions and governance arrangements that may shape their organizational performance. Despite extensive research on cooperative governance and federated organizations, limited empirical evidence exists on ...

Modular design and supervisory control for enhanced economic resilience in continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Conventional continuous plants use fixed‐capacity equipment, resulting in high capital risk and suboptimal performance under fluctuating demands. To address these, this study proposes an integrated framework for modular process design and supervisory control capable of adapting to demand uncertainty for long‐term economic viability.
