The negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have further exposed and exacerbated structural weaknesses inequalities embedded in global industrial agri-food system. While mainstream narrative continues to emphasise importance ensuring uninterrupted functioning supply chains counter COVID-related disruptions, has also highlighted resilience small-scale, sustainable family farming spatially soci...

Maize is one of the most important economic crops in world. The integrity maize grains directly affects value as a main commodity that depends on percentage broken (POGB) mechanized harvesting. Decreasing grain processing breakage key to achieving mechanical harvesting with high quality. It difficult ensure low POGB, because it different varieties, their moisture contents, threshing devices and...

In the hope for more sustainable agriculture and a stronger connection to their food, an increasing number of consumers participate in alternative food networks (AFNs) characterised by short supply chains. However, it cannot be assumed that AFNs inherently transform prevailing system its respective practices around food. Thus, we apply social innovation perspective enable comprehensive analysis...

Diffusion dialysis (DD) is proposed to separate and recover mineral acids transition metals from electroplating industry process waters promoting a circular approach of resources recovery. In this work, DD module with two anionic membranes (Fumasep FAD Neosepta AFN) are used for the separation H2SO4 Cu2+ containing solutions. The membrane performances sole solutions (0.2–2 M) CuSO4 (0.8–1.1 M C...

Alternative food networks (AFNs) have the potential to enhance and redistribute value in favour of producers consumers through novel ways organizing supply chain activities. What is more, AFNs are often characterized by their ‘sustainability promise’ – or idea that foster social, ecological environmental improvements over conventional networks. Based on a purposive sample 286 across five Swedis...

Purpose Sustainability labels play a crucial role in providing consumers with quick and easily accessible information to assess the environmental, social economic impacts of products. This research examines how different sustainability influence consumer perceptions assessments alternative food networks (AFNs). Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted three cross-sectional studies expl...
