The role of governments in sustainable consumption: the perception of Brazilian experts

Socioeconomic Importance of the Small-Scale Mud Crab Fishing (Scylla Serrata, Forskall 1775) in the Bons Sinais Estuary—Mozambique

“…Mud crab fishing has distinct characteristics compared to other types of fishing activities. There is no involvement of women in the entire production chain, as usually recorded in other fisheries, where women participate in fishing/shellfish, processing, commercialization, and fish marketing [50][51][52][53]. The absence of women can also be associated with the working conditions since fishing takes place either in the estuary bed, using a rowing boat, or in the mangrove with soft muddy substrate using the excavation technique, which is much more difficult than extracting mangrove bivalves/gastropods.…”

“…The absence of women can also be associated with the working conditions since fishing takes place either in the estuary bed, using a rowing boat, or in the mangrove with soft muddy substrate using the excavation technique, which is much more difficult than extracting mangrove bivalves/gastropods. Some authors [53] found that the working conditions during crab fishing, namely physical effort required and job insecurity, are the main aspects that constrained the effective participation of women in this fishing activity. The commercial value chain assessment showed that crabs are sold by men also because most catches are preliminarily sold under pre-agreements established between fishers and traders.…”

“…that place them in unfavorable conditions, such as the lack of basic services such as electricity, drinking water, and access roads, which can favor the self-development of small fishing villages. This also limits the investment capabilities and initiatives of fishers since, in these conditions, the challenges become even greater [35,53]. Therefore, implementing public policies that aim to promote the self-development of small fishing communities is a crucial factor as it would enable the standard of social dignity to be raised as well as reduce the existing inequalities [35,53].…”

Influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the use of social media on awareness' socio-environmental and sustainable consumption: Consolidating lessons from the pandemic

“…For the keywords “Environmental awareness and Sustainable consumption awareness and Brazil”, only one article was found, published by De Oliveira et al (2020) , which analyzed the roles of governments in promoting sustainable consumption before Brazilian specialists. According to the authors, environmental inspection is favorable to the sustainability of consumption practices, which should be used as an instrument to promote greater consumer awareness, as well as in the use of public purchases, as sustainable for society actions.…”
