Information economics to support sustainable and resilient agri-food systems: Special issue introduction
本特刊研究信息如何影响农民和消费者对行为框架、咨询服务、数字工具等策略的反应,发现信息单独作用有限,但与激励结合可提升效果,为政策制定提供参考。
Abstract This special issue focuses on how information influences the transition to sustainable and resilient agri-food systems. The contributions analyse farmers’ and consumers’ responses to different information strategies, including behavioural framings, advisory services, digital tools, data-sharing rules and communication around meat taxes. While the findings show that information alone may not always have a strong impact, its effectiveness can often be improved when combined with incentives. Together, the articles advance understanding of how information economics can inform policies and interventions to close sustainability and resilience gaps in agri-food systems.
