“…Similarly, the reasons behind the consumption of more sustainable food are very complex and cannot be reduced to the adoption of environmentalist values; more generally, a "quiet" form of sustainable consumption is widespread, in which actors make positive choices and adopt positive practices with respect to a sustainability perspective, but are not guided by this goal [36,37]. This aspect is essential not only from a scientific standpoint but also from a governance perspective [38][39][40][41][42][43]. In promoting sustainability in the food sector, various global, national, and local policy strategies can be adopted.…”

Sustainable Food Consumption: Social Representations of Definitions, Drivers, and Obstacles

The topic of food is one of the main terrains of the debate about sustainability, with reference to all the components of food systems. At present, a vast body of literature exists about what can be considered as sustainable food products, as well as about drivers and obstacles connected with the consumption of these products. On the contrary, little research exists about the representations of these elements developed by potential consumers. On the basis of qualitative research in Turin, Italy, the aim of this article is to reflect upon what individuals mean by sustainable food products, what they think about the drivers at the basis of their consumption, and what, in their opinion, the main obstacles for potential consumers are in adopting these products. These are the main findings of this research. Regarding the definition of sustainability of food products, research showed that the scientific literature identifies two main dimensions, environmental and economic; in contrast, for potential consumers, the environmental dimension takes priority. Moreover, in the literature, food sustainability is mainly evaluated considering all the five phases of the food chain (production, processing, distribution, consumption, disposal); while potential consumers focus primarily on production and processing, only partly on distribution, and neglect the other two phases. Considering drivers and obstacles of sustainable food consumption, the scientific literature identifies six drivers: environment and health, the main ones, followed by human rights, taste/quality, culture, relationships; and four main potential obstacles: availability and cost first of all, and then competences and culinary habits/traditions. Potential consumers, instead, regarding drivers give priority to environment, and add fashion and identity construction dynamics; regarding obstacles, focus on cost and on competences, do not identify the products’ availability or culinary habits and traditions as relevant factors, and add a reference to the creation of social networks among consumers where information and competences are shared as potential facilitators.

Cirebon Regency is in West Java Province and it’s one of the largest rice producer in Indonesia so that Cirebon Regency has a rice surplus. West Java is included as a region with access rice availability and the source of rice comes from within the West Java region itself, so there is minimal intervention from other regions in terms of meeting rice needs. In an effort to maintain rice resilience, strategies that can be implemented by West Java Province include maximizing the availability of rice in the region to meet local needs, distributing part of its production to surrounding deficit areas, and maintaining the productivity of rice fields. The results of the review literature, food security were not realized in Cirebon Regency because exports and imports of rice production were not properly recorded, distribution of rice production was not monitored, supply stability and price affordability were not controlled, access and information to markets are limited.. The regional government is implementing an agricultural intensification policy, especially in cultivating rice considering that the amount of agricultural land is decreasing, but behind the success there is the potential for climate change which could cause a decrease in productivity. In order to support sustainable food security in Cirebon Regency, it is necessary to analyzed the availability and distribution patterns of rice from upstream to downstream. This pattern is expected to answer the uncertainty of rice availability in Cirebon Regency and its relationship in supporting food sustainability in the future. The method that will be used to answer this problem is to carry out primary data analysis at the rice mill level in Cirebon Regency. Apart from that, the rate of land conversion as a factor influencing rice production is used as analysis material for recommendations for the sustainability of food availability in Cirebon Regency. Food security and sustainability efforts can be achieved with policy changes and transformation of food system governance.
