Social and Environmental Attributes of Food Products in an Emerging Mass Market : Challenges of Signaling and Consumer Perception, With European Illustrations
This paper focuses on the environmental and ethical attributes of food products and their production processes. These two aspects have been recently recognized and are becoming increasingly important, in terms of signaling and of consumer perception. There are two thematic domains: environmental and social. Within each domain there are two movements. Hence the paper first presents the four movements that have brought to the fore new aspects of food product quality, to wit: (1) aspects of environmental ethics (organic agriculture and integrated agriculture) and (2)social ethics (fair trade and ethical trade). Then it describes how the actors in the movements producers, retailers, NGOs, and governments) are organized and how consumers perceive each of the movements. From the perspective of the actors in the movements themselves, the movements are grouped into two 'actors' philosophies' : a “radical” philosophy (the organic production and fair trade movements that arose in radical opposition to conventional agriculture or unfair trade relations) and a “reformist” philosophy (the integrated agriculture and ethical trade movements that arose as efforts to modify but not radically change conventional agriculture). From the point of view of consumers, the classification of the movements is based on perceptions of the 'domain' of the movements. That is, consumers tend to perceive as a grouping the organic production movement and the integrated agricultural movement, as they both deal with the environment. By contrast, consumers tend to group the fair trade movement and the ethical trade movement, as they both deal essentially with social ethics. Recently, key players such as large retailers and agribusinesses have adopted as part of their overall quality assurance programs both the environmental and the ethical attributes. Their involvement in and adoption of the goals of the movements have, however, generated tensions and conflicts, in particular within the radical movements, because of concerns of cooptation. The paper identifies challenges for those promoting food products with environmental and social/ethical attributes to communicate coherent signals to consumers at this crucial moment of an emerging mass market for these products.Consumer perception, Ethical trade, Fair trade, Integrated agriculture, Organic agriculture, Organization, Quality signals

Policy and governance of payments for ecosystem services in agri-food value chains
The paper examines the role of markets for ecosystem services deriving from agri-environmental and rural landscape conservation in the agri-food chain. In spite of their importance, sustainable management of agricultural biodiversity and ecosystem services conservation are only partially financed by public institutions. This paper illustrates an innovative economic tool, Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES), used as a financing mechanism to achieve positive environmental outcomes by supporting environmental friendly behavior in agri-food value chains. Our framework suggests that PES can act as a tool able to support sustainable management of agri-food value chains. In spite of financial crises, demand for ecosystem services is growing, nevertheless their supply need to be supported by innovative incentive schemes. PES could play a fundamental role in increasing ecosystem services provision. The areas for future research that seem to be the most promising include following aspects. First, we look forward to understanding the role of public intervention. Second, several insights can be gained from investigating PES implementation in agri-food value chains. The study suggests that PES schemes have a potential role to play with regards to ecosystem services conservation in agri-food value chains. The paper provides an original contribution by highlighting the role of an innovative economic instrument for financing agricultural biodiversity conservation and supporting land users for the positive externalities in agri-food value-chains
