Social Marketing of a Fortified Staple Food at Scale: Generating Demand for Fortified Rice in Brazil

ABSTRACT

This paper describes the social marketing strategy implemented by PATH and GAIN to create a sustainable market for rice fortification in Brazil and develop a replicable model relevant to other geographies. It draws on market research on consumer attitudes and practices, as well as key demand and consumer metrics before and after execution of the social marketing campaign in Brazil. This marketing endeavor succeeded in establishing the viability of introducing fortified rice in a country through a purely market-based approach. Whereas social marketing is vital to the introduction and scale-up of fortified staple foods through commercial markets, it is not sufficient to achieve meaningful scale and sustainability. Engagement from the public and social sectors, clear governance, and other factors are critical to substantial and long-term impact. Lessons from this first attempt to introduce a fortified staple food through a market-based approach are relevant to similar initiatives elsewhere.     

食品安全检测技术对食品质量安全的影响

食物的品质安全是保证人们生命健康的关键因素,是人们赖以生存与发展的最主要的前提条件.而随着社会主义市场经济的日益发展,人们的生活水平也在逐步改善,对食物的安全品质问题也越来越关注.目前,在我国的食品安全监督管理检验中,不论是在技术上,还是在产品质量安全监督管理方面,都仍面临着许多不足和问题,并不断影响检验技术的深入发展与完善.因此,本文重点对食品安全监督管理检验技术进行了论述与研究,期望可以通过了解该技术进展状况,为我国食品领域发展提出合理的指导意见,实现我国食品安全监督管理检验技术水平的进一步提高,进而促进我国食品领域的健康发展.     

Russian agriculture during Putin’s fourth term: a SWOT analysis

Russian agriculture is coming off a successful period under Minister Alexander Tkachev. Despite his successes, new agricultural leaders were named in May 2018 to guide agriculture during Putin’s fourth term. The article analyses the condition of and prospects for the agricultural sector during 2018–2024, using a SWOT framework (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats). The analysis examines four strengths, six weaknesses, four opportunities and three threats.     

着力提升产业链供应链韧性和安全水平

着力提升产业链供应链韧性和安全水平,是推动高质量发展的基本要求。基于现有研究,可以将产业链供应链韧性界定为面对重大突发事件或外部冲击时,产业链供应链免于断裂并能较快恢复原状的能力。产业链供应链韧性往往与产业链供应链安全问题息息相关。要用中国式现代化的理念和政策思维,科学把握提升产业链供应链韧性和安全水平的方法论,找准提升产业链供应链韧性和安全水平的着力点,注意发挥深化产业融合的赋能作用,培育提升产业链供应链韧性和安全水平的兴奋点。     

我国粮食安全模式探析

基于我国土地和水资源状况和我国农业投入成本和效益分析,我国未来粮食的自我保证能力有限。同时分析世界粮食的供求、我国外汇能力和我国粮食进口对世界粮食市场的影响,目前国内粮食生产的成本已经很高,粮食进口尚有一定的上升空间。因此结合我国的特殊国情,我国的粮食保障应选择适度进口的“双保险”粮食安全模式。     

Pricing dynamics in US fresh produce channels: new empirical evidence

Despite many valuable contributions, prior research has not completely explained retail pricing behavior. This study employs scanner data for 36 fresh produce items analyzing the relationship between costs of goods sold and retail prices to provide further insight into retail pricing behavior. Implications include: (1) where ‘natural’ variation in produce prices do not already exist from the supplier, retailers appear to introduce the variation themselves, independent from shipping point price; and (2) to the extent that supplier-retailer contracts for fresh produce develop, the resulting stabilizing influence on costs may have the preserve effect of increasing retail price variability to consumers.     

一损俱损：食品安全、企业的社会责任及市场反应--以“塑化剂”事件为例

本文以酒鬼酒“塑化剂”事件为案例,运用事件研究和双重差分的方法,研究该食品安全事件对酒鬼酒及白酒行业带来的影响。结果表明：事件日后20天内酒鬼酒的累计异常收益平均下降了30％,证券市场发挥了“用脚投票”的功能,对肇事企业起到惩罚作用;此外,酒鬼酒“塑化剂”事件对整个白酒行业带来的“传染效应”大于“竞争效应”,平均意义上“塑化剂”事件使得白酒类企业的累计异常收益下降了6％,说明食品安全问题会带来一损俱损现象。     

钻井远程实时决策系统的开发与应用

在构造复杂地区,累计发生钻井复杂情况较高,实施安全钻井就显得非常重要。而钻井远程实时决策系统不仅可以及时对各种可能发生的钻井复杂情况进行提前决策分析,还可以在后方通过图文并茂的方式实时显示现场情况,这样后方专家就可以利用该系统进行多井远程实时决策和现场技术支持。该系统首先实现了远程数据的实时采集、统计分析已钻井资料总结出异常数据变化规律、并提出新的灰色关联理论计算方法,并对元坝272H井进行了应用测试,决策界面美观清晰,测试结果显著,得到了工程院专家的认可。     

浅谈班组安全管理工作

班组安全管理是建筑施工企业安全生产管理的基础和根本。人的不安全行为是造成安全事故的直接原因,本文从培养安全意识、安全行为、安全习惯等方面入手,通过教育、制度等途径及时进行引导和约束,规避不安全行为,实现班组安全生产。     

基于模糊的高层建筑施工安全评价研究

在建筑业高速发展的同时,高层建筑也迅速崛起。然而对于高危行业的建筑业,整个生命周期过程中都存在着很多的风险。因为在高层的施工中存在作业面较高,所用的机械设备和安全设施更多,作业周期更长等未知情况。文章中经研究分析确定了影响高层建筑施工安全的重要因素,通过对因素的分析划分构造指标体系,再利用层次分析法对各指标进行权重的确定,最后利用模糊数学原理对它进行评价。结合施工企业实例,利用综合评价模型得出了影响该企业安全施工的重要因素,提供了改进的方向和建议。
