Résumé : | The world is changing rapidly in the age of Coronavirus. The long period of deprivation, economic austerity and anxiety that is foreseen will usher new consumer attitudes and behaviors, which will change the nature of todays capitalism. There are signs of a growing anti-consuming movement at present, with five types of anti-consumerists: life-simplifiers, degrowth activists, climate activists, food-choosers, and conservation activists. Citizens will reexamine what they eat, how much they eat, and how all this is influenced by class issues and inequality. They will reexamine their eating habits and emerge from this terrible period with a new, more equitable form of food consumption. Consequently, the agrifood supply chain network will have to change dramatically to adjust to the new attitudes, perceptions, and preferences of consumers in the post-COVID-19 era. Innovation will play a vital role in modernizing the agrifood supply chain to meet the new challenges of the upcoming new global economy. The process from farm to fork, the holistic approach to the production and consumption of food, will become a key factor in the sustainability and progress of the food industry. This Special Issue is focused on 11 selected topics from different parts of the agrifood supply chain in view of the post-COVID-19 era, expanding from the innovative scientific insights and technological advances of natural resources, organic pollutants identification, new food product development, traceability, and packaging, and chain management, to consumers attitudes, and eating motivations, aiming to tackle the changes that are foreseen for the global economy and society. |
