Swedish Consumers' Willingness‐to‐Pay for Plant‐Based Proteins in Pasta Sauce: Preferences and Policy Scenarios

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores Swedish consumers' protein preferences by estimating the willingness‐to‐pay (WTP) for minced meat and plant‐based proteins in pasta sauce from an in‐store experiment (n = 206) and an online discrete choice experiment (n = 517). On average, the WTP was highest for minced meat.

A novel NAC transcription factor mediates negative regulation of early ethylene production and ripening in tomato fruits

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
Timely initiation of fruit ripening is crucial for improving agricultural efficiency and shelf life. While the progression of tomato ripening and the roles of ethylene and its core transcriptional controls are well established from the breaker (BR) stage

Evidence of acidic Invertase as control step of sucrose level during ripening of two diploid banana fruit [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We previously shown that diploid dessert cultivars accumulate more sucrose during ripening on plant than diploid cooking cultivars, and that Acid Invertase (AIV) might be in this case important by correlating the ratio sucrose / glucose + fructose of ...

Consumers' Willingness to Pay a Premium for Climate‐Friendly Food Production: The Role of Production Method Information and Social Norms

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether information about production methods and social norms can increase consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) a price premium for food produced using climate‐friendly farming methods. A randomized survey experiment was conducted with 1568 respondents across Denmark, Lithuania, and Spain, who were assigned to one of four ...

Ethylene and Fruit Ripening

open access: yesHortScience, 1985
Abstract An investigator commencing work on ethylene and fruit ripening is confronted by the enormous diversity among fruit. It is necessary to identify unique characteristics that differentiate fleshy plant structures from other plant parts in order to develop new treatments successfully for extending the commercial life of fruit.

Video and Text‐Based Supplemental Health Information and Consumer Willingness to Pay for Nutrient‐Enhanced Eggs

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nutritional information is very important in the food choices of consumers. However, when they are too scientific or technical, they have the potential to confuse consumers, resulting in information asymmetry and dissuading them from making beneficial choices.
