Interestingly, lower-income and larger households proved more diligent at sorting. The takeaway? To fix the food waste crisis, municipalities must prioritize convenient, hyper-local infrastructure over abstract environmental messaging. 📉♻️ #UrbanPlanning #WasteManagement

How much does where you live dictate your sustainability habits? 🌍 A new study by R. Stašys & M. Fiore in Lithuania shows that household food waste sorting behavior is driven more by infrastructure than cultural attitudes.

Comparing two regions (Alytus & Telšiai), the authors found that 85.6% of respondents support food-waste separation in theory. However, apartment residents and urban dwellers face major practical barriers, like small kitchens and a lack of close collection points. 🏙️

Drawing on Collective Action & Diffusion of Responsibility theories, the authors show that low-effort, passive atmospheric cues reduce cognitive friction, significantly boosting customer emotional attachment & voluntary customer citizenship behavior. #FeministEconomics #Social

Where should restaurants position sustainability? A new 2026 study in the Journal of Foodservice Business Research explores how spatial vs. product cues drive customer outcomes. 🧵👇 DOI: https://t.co/FggMUha9RQ #ConsumerBehavior #HospitalityResearch #Sustainability

Using a 2x2 between-subjects experiment (n=403), Hossin & Chung compare "atmospheric" positioning (eco-décor, visible recycling) vs. "product" positioning (dishes made from imperfect produce). Two-way ANOVA revealed that only atmospheric positioning has a significant main effect

Ultimately, general trust transfers to a scenario-specific cognitive attitude, which powerfully predicts a willingness to pay more (WTPM) for local food. Online food ordering literacy acts as a crucial boundary capability. #Foodservice #DigitalTransformation

How do travelers perceive local cuisine from virtual-only "ghost kitchens"? A new study in the Journal of Foodservice Business Research maps the behavioral drivers of premium pricing. 🧵👇 DOI: https://t.co/dFU8X6nUsr #TourismResearch #ConsumerBehavior #Hospitality

Using structural equation modeling (SEM) via Prolific data, Shin et al. find that personal risks (like invisible food prep) & benefits (convenience) shape trust, while societal benefits drive cognitive attitude. Interestingly, societal risks had no effect. #DataScience #SEM

The study concludes with a clear, actionable policy recommendation: governments must implement reforms that grant women at least 30% of household land ownership rights to effectively combat food insecurity. #PolicyChange #Agriculture #LandRights

How does gender inequality in land ownership affect household food security? A new study from Burkina Faso uses rigorous econometrics to analyze this crucial link. 🧵👇 DOI: https://t.co/ll3Jeqgjni #FoodSecurity #GenderEquality #DevelopmentEconomics

[JFBR @jfbr66]

Using panel data from the Permanent Agricultural Survey (EPA) covering 854 households (2014–2019), the authors applied an IV/GMM strategy to fix endogeneity. The result? Land inequality between genders heavily depresses household food expenditures. #DataScience #Econometrics

Volatility is the main driver of regime shifts. Because national inflation and global food prices are so deeply linked, the authors argue for coordinated stabilization policies to prevent global price shocks. 🌍⚖️

How do the US, China, and India influence what the world pays for food? New research uses a Markov-switching model to track how national inflation triggers shifts in global commodity prices. 🌾📉

The study identifies two distinct "regimes": a stable state and a high-volatility state. Transitions between these states are sharp, showing that global prices are highly sensitive to macroeconomic shifts in these three giant economies.

Analyzing 512 consumers, researchers found that "Green Consumption Values" are the bridge between personal ethics and brand loyalty. Whether through physical experience or online activity, your values dictate which brands you trust.

The link between halal evidence and sourcing decisions is stronger in local restaurants than international chains. As diner demand for transparency rises, halal integrity has become the key to stabilizing the entire foodservice ecosystem. 🍗

A new study explores how "Halal Integrity" evidence shapes procurement decisions in Indonesia's restaurant sector. From certification to traceability, the data reveals what truly drives supplier trust.

Based on data from 296 managers, the research shows that halal documentation and standardized systems directly strengthen long-term supplier commitment. Halal integrity is no longer just a checkbox—it’s a strategic capability for lasting business partnerships.
