“…Consumers’ preferences for locally produced foods have been growing throughout the past two decades (Adams & Salois, 2010) and are particularly evident in the increase in community‐supported agriculture organizations and farmers’ markets (Thilmany, Bond, & Bond, 2008). There is a growing literature on consumer preferences for local food (e.g., Lim & Hu, 2016; Soley, Hu, & Vassalos, 2019). Among the many reasons consumers prefer local products are the resulting support of local producers (Zepeda & Leviten‐Reid, 2004), creation of local jobs (Cooke & Watson, 2011), and quality and freshness considerations (Ahearn & Sterns, 2013).…”

This study examines preferences for local foods by two distinct consumer groups: local residents and tourists. In an incentive‐compatible framed field experiment, a series of dichotomous‐choice tasks involving oyster purchases were completed by 758 individuals: 341 local residents recruited at a Division of Motor Vehicles office and 417 tourists recruited at a beach ferry terminal. The experimental design allowed us to investigate differences in preferences between tourists and local residents for locally produced oysters. Our estimates suggest both locals and tourists are willing to pay more for local oysters than for nonlocal ones, though this result is only statistically significant among tourists. The findings from this study shed light on potential designs for labels of food products, particularly when marketed in popular tourism areas.

“…Furthermore, socio-economic characteristics are typical factors used in evaluating decision-making as this constitutes constraint attributes to respondents. This is typical to valuation and stakeholder involvement studies (Mangiafico et al, 2012;Marsh, 2014;Ureta et al, 2016;Seriño et al, 2017;Small et al, 2017;Soley et al, 2019).…”

Ecosystem services (ES), commonly defined as the benefits people get from ecosystems, are key components in improving human well-being. However, as land utilization transitions from forest and agricultural land to urban areas and industrial complexes, the continuous provision of ES is affected. To ensure sustainable development, conservation programs should be implemented that consider both the stakeholders' well-being while also maintaining ecosystem health and integrity. Consequently, to improve the strategic implementation of conservation programs, it is critical to understand stakeholders' preferences.Using an online survey, we elicited South Carolina residents' preference in prioritizing the target ecosystems and ecosystem services in the state. The results identified that the priority ecosystem service is water quality regulation. However, the residents' preference for water quality regulation does not discredit the importance of maintaining the continuous water supply provision. In terms of ecosystem preference, residents indicated that the forest ecosystem is the priority ecosystem to be conserved, particularly for younger residents, respondents with high income, and those in the midland and the upstate. This could be attributed to the forest's effect on the ecosystem services that these respondents receive, particularly towards water-related ecosystem services. Understanding the residents' preference provides information that could improve the state water plans and other potential policy implications to land use-land cover planning and landscape sustainability management.

“…According to this agreement, consumers buy some of the products via the financing of MA ponds, and this finances the farm, reduces the risk, and guarantees the products’ sale. Consumers help fish farmers at the beginning of the season by providing part of the cost of purchasing primary inputs and during the season, providing current costs (Soley et al, 2019 ). This can help improve the economic sustainability of MA operations and result in the production of MA that has a lower cost than the retail market and is healthier in terms of quality.…”

“…In this regard, community-supported agriculture (CSA) is used as one of the important forms of sustainable agriculture in MA. This approach helps to build a more indigenous and equitable agricultural system and allows farmers to focus on good farming practices while ensuring their profits at the same time (Soley et al, 2019 ). The most salient goals of CSA are to address concerns about the quality of the food supply and the survival of small farms.…”

Consumers’ attitude toward participation in community-supported aquaculture: a case of Kurdistan province in the west of Iran

Considering the increasing importance of sustainable operations in the agricultural sector and the relationship between producers and consumers, the current study was to determine customers’ attitudes on participation in community-supported aquaculture programs in Kurdistan province (in the west of Iran). The present study was a survey, non-experimental, applied, and descriptive–correlational research. Using a literature review and field studies, factors affecting consumers’ attitudes have been extracted. Then, to determine validity, the questionnaire was given to a panel of subject matter experts. Furthermore, to assess the reliability of the research instrument, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was calculated. The results showed the good validity and reliability of the research tool. Moreover, structural equation modeling was used to confirm the proposed model. The results showed that among the factors affecting the attitude of consumers, the price of aquatic products had the first place, which has been neglected in the previous studies. In this regard, it was suggested that by creating support funds and facilities for the participation of consumers in community-supported aquaculture programs, setting standards for healthy aquatic products, and producing programs related to the introduction of community-supported aquaculture programs on the radio and television, the attitude of the consumers can be improved.
