“…The finding that diet diversity improves with increasing level of income is consistent with the theoretical assumptions on consumer behavior previously formulated by Dorce et al [ 152 ], Panait et al [ 153 ], Chandra et al [ 154 ], and Qiu et al [ 43 ]. People who feel increasingly food secure due to a higher purchasing power are more certain about their ability to obtain higher-quality and more nutritious foods.…”

Over the past decades, both the quantity and quality of food supply for millions of people have improved substantially in the course of economic growth across the developing world. However, the number of undernourished people has resumed growth in the 2010s amid food supply disruptions, economic slowdowns, and protectionist restrictions to agricultural trade. Having been common to most nations, these challenges to the food security status of the population still vary depending on the level of economic development and national income of individual countries. In order to explore the long-run determinants of food supply transformations, this study employs five-stage multiple regression analysis to identify the strengths and directions of effects of agricultural production parameters, income level, price indices, food trade, and currency exchange on supply of calories, proteins, and fats across 11 groups of agricultural products in 1980–2018. To address the diversity of effects across developing nations, the study includes 99 countries of Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa categorized as low-income, lower-middle-income, and upper-middle-income economies. It is found that in low-income countries, food supply parameters are more strongly affected by production factors compared to economic and trade variables. The effect of economic factors on the food supply of higher-value food products, such as meat and dairy products, fruit, and vegetables, increases with the rise in the level of income, but it stays marginal for staples in all three groups of countries. The influence of trade factors on food supply is stronger compared to production and economic parameters in import-dependent economies irrelevant of the gross national income per capita. The approach presented in this paper contributes to the research on how food supply patterns and their determinants evolve in the course of economic transformations in low-income countries.

“…Awan et al [33] emphasized that consumer perceived knowledge driving the activities have a positive effect on the corporate improvements. Perception motivates the consumption towards sustainable products due to the personal gains such as health and the environmental protection [10,11,34]. Moreover, Thomas et al [12] suggested that SC is enhanced by positive consumer perceptions of sustainable information which influences their preferences toward the product.…”

“…Moreover, according to Rondomi and Grasso [40], there is a lack of clear understanding on consumer behavior toward SC due to many attributes influencing that behavior. For example, Dorce et al [11] claimed that even consumers with sustainable intentions do not always result in having a sustainable behavior. Therefore, consumer behavior remains in question to impact and enhance SC.…”

et al. 2021

Sustainable consumption has been addressed in the literature in recent years, especially in relation to changing from a traditional consumption to sustainable consumption. Reducing environmental impacts from waste generation has been the focal point of sustainable consumption. However, a large number of attributes has caused a complexity in understanding which attributes effectively enhance the consumption. In particular, sustainable consumption has been facing a negative trend due to low levels of knowledge about packaging’s environmental impact, failed communication which leads to misperception and irresponsible behavior. This study contributes to proposing a set of attributes for enhancing sustainable consumption in the Indonesian food industry, to fulfill the lack of understanding of the attribute interrelationships using qualitative information. This study proposes a set of attributes to enhance sustainable consumption with qualitative information by assessing the interrelationships among the attributes employing the Delphi method and fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory method to provide causal and effect relationships. As a result, corporate communication, consumer perception, consumer behavior, and product packaging are major aspects for sustainable consumption enhancement. Corporate communication becomes a major driver to affect perception and behavior. This study proposes a managerial insight for the packaged food industry on improving several criteria including green marketing, green consumerism, verbal features, and importance of information.

“…The TPB model has been used and validated in other studies to analyze an individual's behavioral intention [22,[37][38][39][40][41][42]. According to Ajzen (2011) [43], adding new variables to the theory of planned behavior model should improve the prediction of intention and behavior, as there is a gap between intention-behavior, and the model by itself is not capable of predicting behaviors that are not driven by intentions such as habits and impulsive purchases [44].…”

The present research aims to determine which factors of the theory of planned behavior most influence the intention to watch Mexican movies, and, at the same time, to measure the impact of eWOM and the level of audience involvement in the intention. For this purpose, an online questionnaire was applied through social networks, obtaining a sample of 334 Mexican people over 18 years old. The data were analyzed using a partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM). The results confirmed that the variables that explained the intention to watch Mexican movies were attitude, perceived purchase control, and involvement, with the latter being the attitude variable the one that contributed the most to intention. The present research contributes to the literature on movie consumption in Mexico with an empirical perspective from the marketing field.
