Food needs and preferences Sample Clauses

Food needs and preferences. The various groups of people with special food needs and preferences tend to be most affected by the factors that have to do with unsuitable technologies on the one hand, and accidental food contamination and food frauds on the other. The factor of unfair/reduced agricultural support also affects two important food sources for such groups: local/artisanal products and organic products. Reduced agricultural support also affects agroindustrial products which depend on them. People with special dietary needs (such as those with food allergies, for example to gluten) are affected by: unsuitable technologies adoption, impoverishment, prices levels and volatility, power/market concentration, social welfare cuts, accidental food contamination and food frauds. Local/artisanal chains are affected by unsuitable technologies adoption, unfair/reduced agricultural support and accidental food contamination. Organic consumers are affected by unsuitable technologies adoption, power/market concentration, unfair/reduced agricultural support, and food frauds. It is interesting to note that there are similarities and differences between organic and local/artisanal consumers, reflecting the fact that they cater to similar concerns about food quality and health, but the markets are often organised differently. Both are affected by unsuitable technologies adoption, unfair/reduced agricultural support and accidental food contamination. However only the organic is affected by power/market concentration. Agroindustrial products are affected by unsuitable technologies adoption, unfair/reduced agricultural support, accidental food contamination and food frauds. Vegan/vegetarian consumers and people with religious dietary restrictions are affected by food frauds. In the former case this could be due, for example, to labelled products containing animal derivatives or being processed infringing vegan requisites. In the latter case, to false packaging of products that pretend to adhere to religious restrictions (or to a lack of trust due to previous frauds). The following factors have no specific impact on food preferences and needs: Soil fertility degradation, Plant and animal diseases, Extreme weather events, Water shortages, Increasing pollutants spread, Unhealthy food commercials, and Weakening political action.
