“…Literature suggests that the majority of consumers have a positive attitude towards organic food, but few purchase it on a regular basis due to the price premium attached to it (Aertsens et al, 2009;Magnusson, 2004;Nguyen et al, 2019;Raza et al, 2019). Several studies (for instance, Marian et al, 2014;Melovic et al, 2020;Paul & Rana, 2012;Pawlewicz, 2020;Shafie & Rennie, 2012;Stolz et al, 2011) have observed that price premium is one of the main obstacles in the purchase of organic food, while the studies of (Aguilar & Vlosky, 2007;Dipeolu et al, 2009;Govindasamy et al, 2006;Obayelu et al, 2014;Owusu & Owusu Anifori, 2013;Saphores et al, 2007) argued that consumers are willing to pay more for organic food to some extent.…”

Giving the rising interest in naturally grown foods; several studies have contrasted various features of organic and conventionally grown foods in relation to consumer attitudes, perceptions, and preference for organic foods. This paper aims to explore consumers' willingness to consume organic foods; the extent and attributes of consumer knowledge and awareness about organic food as well as consumer attitudes and preferences for organically grown foods. Articles from different peer review journals were used to develop this paper. The findings of this paper show that human health, food safety, attitudes and perceptions and willingness to pay for a price premium are some of the factors influencing consumers' willingness to consume organic foods. Therefore, there is a need to create more awareness in the food industry relating to the health benefits of consuming organic foods.

“…Under the same conditions of soil, slope, and vegetation cover, Avanzi [86] reported that a more concave slope could concentrate the runoff flow leading to a greater erosion rate. These changes can significantly affect the further purpose and use of land, especially in the future agricultural and overall economic development [87].…”

Land use change in all river basins leads to changes in hydrologic response, soil erosion, and sediment dynamics characteristics. Those changes are often viewed as the main cause of accelerated erosion rates. We studied the impact of land use changes on soil erosion processes in one of the watersheds in Montenegro: the Miocki Potok, using this watershed as a pilot river basin for this area. We simulated responses of soil erosion processes by using a process-oriented soil erosion Intensity of Erosion and Outflow (IntErO) model, with different settings of land use for the years 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020. The model provides fast, effective, and affordable insight into the effects of land use change on soil erosion processes. Testing of the applied procedures was important for the further establishment of watershed management methodologies at the national level, for the other 300 river basins of Montenegro. For the current state of land use, calculated peak discharge for the Miocki Potok was 364 m3 s−1 (2020)–372 m3 s−1 (1970) for the incidence of 100 years, and there is a possibility for large flood waves to appear in the studied basin. Real soil losses, Gyear, were calculated at 13680 m3 year−1 (2020) and specific 333 m3 km−2 year−1 (2020). A Z coefficient value of 0.439 (2020) indicated that the river basin belongs to destruction category III. The strength of the erosion process was medium, and according to the erosion type, it was mixed erosion. According to our analysis, the land use changes in the last 50 years influenced a decrease in the soil erosion intensity for 14% in the Miocki Potok River Basin. Further studies should be focused on the detailed analysis of the land use changes trends with the other river basins at the national level, closely following responses of soil erosion to the changed land use structure, and effects of plant-and-soil interaction on soil erosion and sediment dynamics.

“…Guzy [5] found that 94% of public is aware about the organic food but lack of interest is developed due to non lebling and high price. Melovic et al [10] analyse that price, food quality, distribution system and modern media as a promotional tool is the best factor to impact on consumer buying behaviour, Muttalageri and Mokshapathy [11] explored that in the Balgavi district that there is lack of govt. support for farmer consumers are not getting enough organic food in market, another factor is premium price of the product is also a factory for low market growth and less active behaviour of consumers.…”
