European Union legislation on macroalgae products

2021

AbstractMacroalgae-based products are increasing in demand also in Europe. In the European Union, each category of macroalgae-based products is regulated separately. We discuss EU legislation, including the law on medicinal products, foods including food supplements and food additives, feed and feed additives, cosmetics, packaging materials, fertilizers and biostimulants, as well as biofuels. Product safety and consumer protection are the priorities with any new products. Macroalgae products can be sold as traditional herbal medicines. The novel food regulation applies to macroalgae foods that have not previously been used as food, and organic macroalgae are a specific regulatory category. …

Insights into food system exposure, coping capacity and adaptive capacity

2017

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to consider the concepts of exposure, coping capacity and adaptive capacity as a multiple structure of vulnerability in order to distinguish and interpret short-term coping responses and long-term strategic responses to food system vulnerability. Design/methodology/approach This paper applies an abductive approach for qualitative analysis of data, which were collected through 18 semi-structured interviews among Finnish food system actors. Findings The findings suggest that coping capacity and adaptive capacity are indeed two different concepts, which both need to be addressed in the examination of food system vulnerability. Public and private food syste…

Food Security Is None Of Your Business? Food Supply Chain Management In Support Of A Sustainable Food System

2017

Food security is the principal outcome of any given food system and it can be defined in terms of a sustainable food system where the core goal is to feed everyone sustainably, equitably and healthily. A sustainable food system addresses needs for availability, affordability and accessibility, is diverse, ecologically-sound and resilient, and builds the capabilities and skills necessary for future generations. This paper identifies the essential elements of food supply chain management in support of a sustainable food system, which ultimately enhances food security. The existing food supply chain and food system literature is synthesized in order to study the correspondence between public i…

Pienten länsieurooppalaisten maiden elintarvikejärjestelmien vertailu

1992

Tämä julkaisu on Suomen elinkeinotuotannon järjestelmä ja Euroopan integraatio -tutkimushankkeen osaraportti, jossa esitellään ja analysoidaan projektin aikana kerättyä, pienten länsieurooppalaisten maiden elintarviketuotannon järjestelmiä koskevaa tilastoaineistoa. Tutkimuksessa etsitään teoreettisia lähtökohtia elintarvikejärjestelmän kokonaisvaltaiselle ymmärtämistavalle. Itse tutkimuskohdetta lähestytään kokeilevalla, kuvailevalla, kuvallisella, kartografisella tutkimusotteella.

Risupartoja vai markkinamiehiä? : tapaustutkimus Etelä-Pohjanmaan luomutuottajista

1996

Julkaisu on loppuraportti syksyllä 1994 Chydenius-Instituutissa käynnistyneelle tutkimusprojektille Ympäristöeettinen yritystoiminta suomalaisella maaseudulla. Raportti on syntynyt kolmen tutkijan yhteistyönä, ja aihetta lähestytään monitieteellisesti sosiologian, taloustieteen, filosofian ja maantieteen näkökulmista.

Is there a convincing case for climate veganism?

2020

AbstractClimate change compels us to rethink the ethics of our dietary choices and has become an interesting issue for ethicists concerned about diets, including animal ethicists. The defenders of veganism have found that climate change provides a new reason to support their cause because many animal-based foods have high greenhouse gas emissions. The new style of argumentation, the ‘climatic argument(s) for veganism’, may benefit animals by persuading even those who are not concerned about animals themselves but worry about climate change. The arguments about the high emissions of animal-based food, and a resulting moral obligation to abstain from eating such products, are an addition to t…

Participation for just governance of food-system transition

2022

Sustainability transitions governance needs to be inclusive and participatory and the question of justice is crucial for making effective and acceptable changes possible. But how do we ensure adequate participation in governance processes and enable reconciliation between competing goals in relation to sustainability transitions? Transition management highlights the need for participatory and reflexive governance processes to enable sustainability transitions. However, due to participant selection and limitations in chosen approaches, deliberative and participatory forums may have difficulties ensuring justice and legitimacy. A systemic and practice-oriented perspective on deliberation poin…

Reilu ruokamurros : Polkuja kestävään ja oikeudenmukaiseen ruokajärjestelmään

2022

Ruokajärjestelmämme kärsivät monista yhteen kietoutuneista kestävyysongelmista. Ongelmia ei korjata yksittäisillä teknologisilla ratkaisuilla, vaan muutoksia tarvitaan läpi koko ruokajärjestelmän. Muutosten laajuuden vuoksi on syytä puhua järjestelmän perustavanlaatuisesta muuttamisesta eli ruokamurroksesta. Tässä julkaisussa tarkastelemme, miten ruokajärjestelmän ilmastopäästöjä voitaisiin vähentää Suomessa siten, että ruokaturva ei vaarannu. Arvioimme ilmastotoimien toteutusta eri murrospoluilla, jotka keskittyvät maankäytön, ruokavalioiden, maatalous- ja ruokateknologioiden muutoksiin. Arvioimme eri murrospolkujen vaikutuksia maatalouteen eri alueilla ja eri väestöryhmien ravitsemukseen.…

Vapautuksen ekologia : ympäristöeettisen maaseutupolitiikan peruslähtökohtia

1994

In Environmentally ethical rural policy we have sought to find a solid ethical as well as aesthetic basis from ecological food production for securing the life and vitality of rural life in Finland. Liberation ecology combines the approach used by liberation theology with ecology. A decision made by an individual farmer could be the start of a new rural policy based on environmental ethics. At the same time, it could help people to free themselves from the "straightjacket" of the market economy through increased ecological awareness. The environmentally ethical viewpoint is always a human viewpoint. Although we can artificially isolate in our mind some absolute values in nature, this valuat…
