“…Different qualitative consumer research methods exist. Of them all, it is worth mentioning the free word association (WA) task, which has been widely used in different studies to understand consumers' perceptions of food (Ares & Deliza, 2010;Ares, Giménez, & Gámbaro, 2008;Esmerino et al, 2017;Pontual et al, 2017), and specifically in meat products (da Rosa et al, 2019;de Andrade, de Aguiar Sobral, Ares, & Deliza, 2016;Raggio, Gámbaro, Teresa, Ana, & Garmendia, 2014). Masson, Delarue, Bouillot, Sieffermann, & Blumenthal (2016) compared six qualitative methods to identify consumer perceptions, and concluded that WA and the sentence completion method might be one of the most comprehensive techniques to identify subjective dimensions.…”

Perception of fat and other quality parameters in minced and burger meat from Spanish consumer studies

et al. 2020

This study examined Spanish consumer knowledge and perceptions of fat content in minced meat products, as well as the most relevant aspects considered to accept or reject these products. The majority of respondents overestimated the fat content of different minced meat types. Most consumers would not detect fat variations between ±2 g fat/100 g. The word association task evidenced different perceptions of minced meat according to both meat types (beef-pork or chicken-turkey) and packaging (on trays, bulk). The colour and appearance of the products were very important for consumers, who did not attach much importance to the presence of additives. Unpackaged beef-pork meat was perceived as more natural, but fattier and less healthy. Chicken-turkey meat was associated with health and low-fat, but also with dislike. This study provides relevant information to develop or reformulate new meat products.

“…Mini-livestock meat is derived from small animals that are bred in captivity. Breeding of animals, such as rodents has been suggested to contribute to food security [67] and reduce hunting of wild animals [68]. Therefore, this section explores mini-livestock animals such as rodents and rabbits as substitutes for poultry.…”

“…Amongst the rodents, capybara is the largest (35-65 kg) with a high carcass yield, and its meat has been reported to be the most delicious [70,71]. Meat of this rodent is known be lower in cholesterol, leaner and rich in ω3 fatty acids, making it suitable for human consumption [68]. In comparison with large animals, such as ostrich, crocodile, and camel that are marketed to a niche market, rodents offer great potential in commercial production.…”

The consequences of climate change are becoming increasingly discernible everywhere, and initiatives have been taken worldwide to mitigate climate change. In agriculture, particularly meat production from the livestock sector is known to contribute to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) that drive climate change. Thus, to mitigate climate impact, strategies that include a shift in consumption patterns, technological advancements and reduction in food wastes/losses have been discussed. In this review, strategies that focus on meat consumption patterns are evaluated from the technological feasibility, environmental impact and consumer acceptance viewpoints. While plant-based substitutes have efficient nutrient conversion and lower GHG emissions, consumer perception, cost, and other trade-offs exist. Although cultured meat precludes the need of any animals and large land areas, its environmental impact is not clear and is contingent upon production systems and the achievement of decarbonization. Reducing wastes and the re-use of meat processing by-products have the potential to lower the environmental impact. Valuable proteins, heat, electricity and biofuels extracted from wastes and by-products not only reduce the disposal of wastes but also offset some GHG emissions. Perception related challenges that exist for all substitution strategies require specific consumer target marketing strategies. Policy measures such as taxation of meat products and subsidies for alternatives are also met with challenges, thereby requiring reforms or new policies.

Hunting by rural and urban populations is essential for securing access to protein and other nutrients throughout the tropics. The hunting patterns of urban hunters in Amazonia, and the similarities with those of rural hunters, are unclear, as are the social factors that influence hunting practices. We analyze the effects of socioeconomic and cultural factors on hunting frequency and composition of species hunted by urban and rural Amazonian hunters. We interviewed 49 urban hunters and 57 rural hunters within 10 municipalities in western Amazonia in Brazil. A total of 44 species were cited as hunted. Our analyses show that the probability of engaging in sport hunting (for recreation) is greater among urban hunters. Rural inhabitants, hunters with lower monetary incomes, and hunters who were non-practicing Christians and atheists hunted more frequently. The composition of species hunted was similar, regardless of the hunters’ livelihood (rural or urban) or religion. We found that hunting frequency is influenced by hunters’ socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, but these factors do not affect the composition of the harvest. This similarity between urban and rural hunters might be related to species distribution and availability and could potentially impact the most hunted species if hunting grounds overlap. Understanding hunting patterns, especially those of urban hunters, allows for more effective hunting management strategies, improvements in law enforcement against illegal hunting, as well as development of more effective and sustainable conservation actions.
