This document summarizes a study comparing prices at farmers' markets and grocery stores in Florida. The study found that prices for most products were lower at farmers' markets, with an average price difference of $2.00/lb. The study surveyed producers and consumers at 25 farmers' markets across 14 Florida counties. Results showed that most producers were unaware of marketing strategies and many consumers were looking for cheaper food alternatives. The conclusion was that farmers' markets provide both economic and community benefits for producers and consumers.
This document outlines a presentation about supporting farmers and farmer organizations through agritourism in Papua New Guinea. It discusses how agritourism can benefit farmers by providing new market opportunities and improving the local economy. It identifies the key actors in the agricultural supply chain, including smallholder farmers, farmer organizations, traders, hotels and restaurants. It stresses that farmers lack production skills and the ability to meet market demands consistently. The presentation recommends capacity building for farmers and farmer organizations through nutritional cooking classes, farm training, field trips, and partnerships between farmer groups and hotels/restaurants.
This document discusses challenges and opportunities around food in the region. It notes that while food is important for health, culture, and enjoyment, many residents face issues with access, cost, and dietary behaviors. Only 27% eat the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables. Over 60% of adults are overweight or obese. The document also analyzes demographic trends, food spending as a percentage of income, limited supermarket access in some neighborhoods, and the role of food assistance programs. It proposes next steps like identifying suitable farmland and increasing local food production and distribution to improve food security.
This document summarizes a presentation about the future role of farmers' markets in expanding the local food movement. It provides an overview of national farmers' market statistics and changing consumer preferences. While farmers' markets have grown rapidly, some data shows a slowing in new market growth. Barriers include markets being labor-intensive and not very profitable. Potential drivers of future demand include expanded nutrition assistance programs at markets, USDA local food initiatives, and growing numbers of winter markets and markets at healthcare facilities. Farmers' markets will continue playing an important role in providing entry points for small farms, though their role may evolve as producers access larger wholesale channels.
This document summarizes research on consumers' perspectives on local food in Michigan. It includes the following key points:

The markets vary in size, funding, and success reaching low-income customers. Recommendations focus on outreach, incentives, and partnerships to build awareness and patronage.
The document summarizes what has been learned from building a local food system in northeast Iowa. It found that over $915,000 was directly sold to consumers from farms in the region. Organic food sales generated $3.5 million, with one county ranking first and another ranking second in the state for organic sales. The number of restaurants and institutions serving local food increased as did farmers markets and food-related businesses. State codes and regulations as well as higher prices were found to be barriers to institutions purchasing more local food, though many expressed willingness to pay more once barriers were removed. The document outlines opportunities and support for continuing to develop the local food system.
This document summarizes a study that analyzed the effects of pricing on demand for fresh fruits and vegetables in Detroit, Michigan. The study examined retail scanner data from 2009-2010 from Peaches & Greens, the only fresh produce retailer in the Piety Hill community of Detroit. Regression analysis was used to analyze the relationships between quarterly produce quantities (Q1, Q2, Q3) and prices (P1, P2, P3). While regression analysis was unsuccessful for grapes due to lack of price variation, the study found grapes had consistent demand and prices throughout the year at Peaches & Greens. The conclusion determined Peaches & Greens understands its customers well through consistent pricing that benefits both customers and the retailer.
This document summarizes a study that surveyed grocery store customers and state fair attendees about their organic food preferences and sources of food knowledge. The survey found that respondents generally prefer organic produce because they perceive it as local, fresher, and healthier, while those not consuming organic cited higher expense and lack of concern. The results indicate opportunities for conventional producers to appeal to beliefs driving organic purchases. More research is needed on consumer knowledge of food production and access to factual data on organic and conventional practices.

This document discusses consumer behavior and how marketers influence consumers. It provides examples of how consumers selectively pay attention to, remember, and interpret information in ways that confirm their existing beliefs. It also gives examples of how the presentation or "framing" of choices, like food portion labels or drink sizes, can influence consumer decisions and perceptions without changing the actual options. The document warns that consumers should be skeptical of product claims that have not been scientifically proven or validated by organizations like the FDA.
This document provides background information on consumer behavior and discusses various influences on consumer decision making. It covers key topics like the definition of consumer behavior, influences from different behavioral science disciplines, why studying consumer behavior is important, factors that influence buying behavior like culture, social factors and personal factors, and consumer decision making models. It also discusses research approaches to study consumers, different demographic and psychographic variables, and the relationship between involvement levels and decision making types.

Are Fruits and Vegetables Made of Cells?punxsyscience
Fruits and vegetables are made of cells, according to a student report. The students examined cells from cheek, onion, banana, and celery under a microscope. They found that the plant cells had similar rectangular shapes and structures like cell walls, nuclei, and cytoplasm. Although the animal cheek cell had a different irregular shape since it lacked a cell wall, all samples contained identifiable cell structures. Based on this evidence and their background knowledge that all living things are made of cells, the students concluded that fruits and vegetables are composed of cells.

Food Systems Review: Fruits & Vegetables in South Dakota Chris Zdorovtsov
Insufficient fruit and vegetable consumption contributes to rising health issues in South Dakota. Surveys of producers, grocers, and consumers in the state found that while the production, sales, and consumption of fruits and vegetables have increased in recent years, opportunities remain to further increase consumption. Key findings included conflicting preferences between grocers and consumers on marketing strategies, and that a lack of time and knowledge in preparing produce presents a barrier to consumers eating more fruits and vegetables. The data is being used to support programming to boost local fruit and vegetable production and intake in South Dakota.

It also gives an overview of direct farm marketing statistics and looks at the USDA Census of Agriculture on local food.
The Eastern Ontario Local Food Conference (EOLFC 2013) provided a great opportunity to share information, learn about success stories and gather information on innovative local food businesses, projects and best practices. The conference was organized by KEDCO (Kingston Economic Development Corporation) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and the Ministry of Rural Affairs. The theme of the conference was Innovation Driving Local Food and it was held December 3, 2013 at the Ambassador Hotel in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Jim Slama of Familyfarmed.org keynote presentation on Good Food = Good Business.

Earlier this year the Frontenac Community Futures Development Corporation in partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, and the Ministry of Rural Affairs, The Kingston Immigration partnership and the other local organizations, began a pilot project to determine the market demand for ethno-cultural food and emerging food. Learn more about the consumer and business survey results as well a the strategy to transfer this demand side data to local producers and processors to create new market opportunities.
The Indiana APA Fall Conference was held on October 21, 2011. It focused on understanding local and regional food systems in Indiana and discussed developing a network-based approach to building stronger local food economies. Scott Hutcheson from Purdue University presented on tools and strategies for analyzing assets, linking stakeholders, and creating network hubs to support local food producers and businesses. He provided resources on their website for communities interested in taking this approach.
This document summarizes a research study that analyzed differences in price and quality of foods between full-service supermarkets and convenience stores in Cleveland, Ohio. The researcher visited 10 stores (5 convenience stores and 5 supermarkets) and recorded price and quality data for 38 grocery items. Results showed foods tended to be more expensive at convenience stores, and supermarkets offered a wider selection and more organization. The study highlights lack of affordable, healthy food options in inner-city Cleveland neighborhoods.
The Good Food Market at George Brown College's St. James campus provides community members access to affordable, fresh produce and aims to be a community hub. Run by student interns and volunteers, it sources fresh foods from local farmers and FoodShare to sell at low prices on Thursdays. FoodShare partners with the market to improve food access and literacy while supporting local food systems and farmers.
The document summarizes changes in organic food marketing over time. Traditionally, organic producers sold directly to consumers or through small health stores and co-ops, but since the National Organic Program, marketing has expanded. Most organic food is now sold through large supermarkets, and organic sales have increased 20% annually. Exports are also a growing market, particularly to Canada. The typical organic consumer is hard to define but purchases organic occasionally, and education and income influence purchasing more than other factors. Major organic crops include fruits/vegetables, milk, and cereal products.
Canadian retail food sales amounted to C$93 billion in 2016, a 3.5% increase over 2015. Major retail chains have consolidated, acquiring regional grocers and drug stores. Demographic trends influencing the Canadian food market include an aging population seeking healthier options, more single-person households demanding convenient portions, and a growing ethnically diverse population. Canadians prioritize taste, price, nutrition, appearance, and safety when choosing foods. Health and convenience remain important factors as Canadians consume more snacks and prepared meals.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

4. What is a farmers’ market?
■ A place where local farmers gather on a recurring basis to sell
fresh fruits, vegetables, and other farm products directly to
consumers (Farmers Market Coalition, 2016).
Adapted from Lexington Farmers’ Markets (2014), and CityTalk (2012).
5. Numbers of farmers’ markets in the US increased over
300% in past two decades.
■ 1,755 in 1994 →
8,476 in 2015 (USDA,
2015).
■ Reflect increasing
demand for:
– local food products
– Better freshness &
quality
– support for the local
economy
(Martinez et al, 2015)
6. Farmers’ Markets and Fruit &Vegetable Intake
■ Inverse association between low intake of fruits and vegetables and
high risks for chronic diseases and obesity (Boeing et al., 2012).
■ Lacking affordable sources of fresh produce may contribute to poor
nutrition, especially in low-income populations.
■ CDC and the USDA recommend increasing access to farmers’
markets (Cole et al, 2013).
– Cost effective

16. Background in Kentucky
■ Fruit & vegetable consumption remains low in KY (CDC, 2013).
– 45.9% and 25.2% reported consuming fruits & vegetables, respectively, less
than once a day.
– Median intakes of fruits and vegetables in Kentucky were 1.0 and 1.7 times
per day, respectively.
■ Findings from Perkins’s thesis (2013) and Jilcott Pitts et al (2014):
– Consumption of fruits & vegetables was positively associated with use of
farmers’ markets among Kentucky customers.
– Some barriers hindered shoppers’ utilization of farmers’ markets.
• “Out of way” and “market days and hours”
17. Background of farmers’ markets inTaiwan
■ Not a strategy to facilitate consumption of fruits & vegetables.
– Marketing channels for small farmers, especially organic farmers,
benefiting from directly selling their products to customers (Lin and Wang,
2014).
■ Difficulties developing farmers’ markets (Huang, 2014).
■ Seniors aged 65+ had 3.2 to 3.5 servings of vegetables and 1.5
servings of fruit daily in the 2005-2008 NAHSIT (Wu et al, 2011).
18. Gaps
■ Although evidence has shown a positive association between
increased FV consumption and regular shopping frequency at
farmers’ markets,
– Limited studies specifically target older adults aged 55+
• Consumption of fruits & vegetables?
• Their perception regarding their health and diet?
• Any association between the FV intake and farmers’ markets?
– No known studies in Taiwan investigated farmers’ markets from a
nutritional or health standpoint.
19. Research Objectives
1. Determine the general characteristics of farmers’ markets shoppers and
their perceptions regarding the markets in both locations.
2. Compare the amount of fruit and vegetable consumption and shopping
behaviors between older and younger shoppers.
3. Identify common barriers that affect Kentucky residents shopping at
farmers’ markets in Lexington, Kentucky.
4. Compare similarities and differences in three farmers’ markets in
Lexington, Kentucky and three farmers’ markets inTaipei City,Taiwan.

44. Limitations
■ Cross-sectional design
■ A convenient sampling method
■ Association, not causation
■ Non-response bias
■ Limited number of older participants
■ Limited generalization
45. Implications
■ Inadequate consumption of fruits & vegetables, regardless of
age, health consideration, and country.
■ Low SNAP redemption
■ Farmers’ markets inTaiwan are probably not suitable for
encouraging fruit and vegetable consumption
46. Recommendations for Future Studies
■ what causes a gap between the attendance of farmers’ markets
and the consumption of fruits and vegetables?
■ Why the redemption of SNAP benefits remains extremely low at
farmers’ markets in Lexington, Kentucky?
■ Include more farmers’ markets across various regions and more
participants aged 55 and over.
■ inTaiwan, what motivates older adults spending more money
than their younger peers at farmers’ markets?
