Active marketing strategies driving organic buying behaviour in EU supermarkets
Full text linkPromotes consumer awareness and demand for organic products, aligns with EU sustainability goals, provides guide for scaling organic market growth.
Practical recommendations
The following marketing strategies were found useful in increasing the demand for organic products:
Use of information labels:
· In addition to labelling organic products with the well-known EU organic label, the introduction of a prospective EU climate label could positively influence consumer demand for organic products. However, further research is needed to determine whether this climate label enhances the value proposition of organic products.
Use of nudging:
· Retailers can label organic products as “Popular Choice” or “Bestseller”, leveraging social norms to encourage consumers to change their organic buying behaviour.
Use of assortment changes:
· Expanding the assortment of organic products relative to conventional ones may be used to effectively increase demand for organic products.
Use of brand strategy:
· The introduction of premium-oriented private label brands for organic products effectively drives organic product demand, presenting a potentially impactful alternative to both conventional budget-oriented private labels and premium brands
Actors of knowledge and innovation systems (KIS) for organic aquaculture in Greece
Full text linkKIS for organic aquaculture thrives on several dedicated actors supporting the development of organic farming, providing technical support, administrative assistance, and training. Farmers seeking advice on specific topics can contact the organisations recommended in this practice abstract.
Practical recommendations
• Technical support: Support in the transition phase with a focus on professional and technical areas, and with opportunities for collaboration in co-creation, Living Labs, and on-farm experiments: Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, Hellenic Agricultural Organization-ELGO Dimitra
• Information on organic certification requirements: Certification bodies (Agrocert, BioHellas, TÜVHellas)
• Free or low-cost training programmes on organic farming at different levels of the education system: Universities (e.g., Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Agricultural University of Athens, University of Patras, University of Thessaly)
• Administrative assistance: mainly in the application process for organic subsidies: Advisors working in the network of Geotechnical Chambers of Agriculture, independent advisors

Hidden costs of the Swiss Agrifood System. Case Study to the FAO State of Food and Agriculture SOFA-Report 2024
No full textAgriculture and food systems are a central basis for our societies, providing food and a number of other services such as rural employment or landscapes with recreational value. However, global agriculture and food systems also have large environmental, social and economic impacts, contributing to biodiversity loss, climate change, water scarcity, precarious working conditions and unhealthy dietary patterns. The scale of these adverse impacts is significant. It is thus of paramount importance to support pathways towards agrifood system transformation, where these impacts are significantly reduced

Once bitten, twice shy? Direct and indirect effects of weather shocks on fertilizer and improved seeds use
No full textEvidence suggests that negative weather shocks, such as droughts, can influence input use in agriculture by reducing available income and shaping farmers’ behavioral responses. Yet, the relative importance of these two pathways remains unclear. This study proposes a method to disentangle the direct (behavioral) and indirect (income) effects of a drought shock on the use of inorganic fertilizer and improved maize seed. We employed a two-way fixed-effects regression combined with causal mediation analysis and entropy balancing to account for income endogeneity on a rich farm-level data from 6058 smallholder households in Zambia in 2012 and 2015.
Our results show that farmers who experienced a drought in the previous growing season are less likely to use inorganic fertilizer but more likely to use improved seeds. The indirect income effect accounts for approximately 10% of the total effect for both inputs, amplifying the direct effect for inorganic fertilizer while diminishing it for improved seeds. The contribution of the indirect effect increases with the severity of drought shocks, although the direct effect remains the dominant channel. We also provide suggestive evidence that changes in risk aversion drive behavioral responses, while access to credit mitigates the income effect. These results highlight how drought shocks influence the timing and type of technology adopted in agriculture. Understanding the relative importance of these direct and indirect effects offers critical insights for policies aimed at enhancing climate change adaptation and agricultural productivity in the developing world
