The certification of origin and quality of rural provenance foods paves routes of protection and promotion of the products and the territories. While the importance of certification at socioeconomic, policy, and consumption levels has been addressed in previous research, the views of other key stakeholders-the producers-remain somehow underexplored...
The present study explores the design and implementation of public policies focusing on ageing by Portuguese local governments, considering the lack of a centralized national strategy for active and healthy ageing to guide and be customized at a local level. To take stock of what is being accomplished at the city council level, we first collected a...

In recent years, there has been a growing differentiative trend of food markets towards a logic of quality, presenting new opportunities for consumers, retailers and producers of rural provenance food products. Although these evolving food practices are still hybrid, combining dominant agro-industrial and productivist logics, alternative food netwo...
Consumers’ interest in rural provenance foodstuffs has increase during the last few decades, followed by a growing number of urban specialty shops selling these products. Despite their increase in urban contexts, and their role in fostering both the consumers’ interest and linkages with rural producers, their analysis is a recent topic. However, th...
Public service motivation (PSM) has provided a new breadth to the study of what attracts and retains workers in public organizations committed to the public mission. The present research contributes to the topic by exploring local government workers’ motivation for public service, the meaning they attribute to their activity as public servants, and...
The identification of the factors underlying the willingness or lack thereof to respond to public health emergencies is paramount to informing more capable health services. The interest in this topic appears renewed with each surge of threat, either referring to natural disasters, man-made violence, or epidemic and pandemics. However, there is no s...

This presentation characterizes the main venues targeted by producers and distributors of rural provenance food products, also exploring which criteria guide their selection of collaborations, namely what characteristics are pursed by producers to choose retailers and intermediaries and by intermediaries to choose their producers and ret...
1. PURPOSE
A visible element of urban landscapes, particularly in city centers, is the display of products for sale in shop windows. The spatial arrangement and organization of goods and services have been a longstanding subject of consumption research. Studies placed closer to marketing studies tend to focus on assessing the effectiveness of this...
1. PURPOSE
Despite the increase in policies regarding food certification labels and processes, there are distinct levels of knowledge and dissemination about European Union schemes and their impact is still less significant than other food quality criteria (Grunert and Aachman 2016). The present contribution focuses on how the main actors of rural...
1. PURPOSE
Rural food producers, especially small-scale farmers and artisans, often face difficulties in accessing market conditions that provide them enough income to ensure the sustainability of their businesses and the communities they live in. Though the literature on Short Food Supply Chains has highlighted potential economic, social, and envi...
The literature on food consumption and marketing has been mainly concerned with identifying the appeal of the physical and sensorial features of food products, consumer choice determinants and their profiling according to socioeconomic characteristics, and perceptions and practices. This paper takes a different approach by analyzing how consumers a...
(1) Background: The motivational determinants of health professionals to choose and remain in the public sector have been increasingly addressed, including the customized approach of Public Service Motivation (PSM). However, to date, no systematic research overview has been performed in this domain, leaving the body of literature unstructured. This...
This article analyzes how rural provenance foods are portrayed by the promotional materials, websites and social media issued by urban specialty stores in Portugal. Even though provenance food may be defined in multiple ways as, among others, local, regional, traditional, and authentic, provenance is mostly about territories of origin: their biophy...
The recent increase of rural provenance specialty food shops in Portuguese cities reflects
both the blossoming of touristic influx as consumers’ demand for these foods (Silva et al, 2021). These shops’ role in fostering consumers’ interest and promoting rural-urban linkages is a recent topic (e.g. Mayer et al., 2016) the focus so far privileging ru...
Rural provenance food is gauging interest among consumers increasingly aware and
knowledgeable about what they eat (Caputo et al., 2018). This interest has been accompanied by theincrease of specialty shops in urban context. The role played by these stores in fostering the consumption and in modelling how these products are portrayed and communicat...
Consumers’ food preferences increasingly meet concerns of authenticity, health, origin, and sustainability, altogether attributes embodied in rural provenance food products. The dynamics of production, commercialization, and availability of these products in urban centers are growing stronger. This study aims to explore rural provenance food consum...

Evidence shows that Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an empirically supported psychological approach for chronic pain (CP) management. Although self-compassion is not explicitly a target of ACT, it seems to be one mechanism of change in ACT for CP. However, research is lacking on the benefits of including explicit self-compassi...
New rural-urban linkages are being fostered in the Portuguese territory by urban specialty food stores. As privileged venues to promote traditional and locally produced products, their increasing number meets and elicits the interest of consumers on such foodstuffs (Silva et al., 2021) whilst contributing to its valorization and further agricultura...
In recent years, there was an increase in the number of rural provenance and specialty food stores, located in urban settings as ambassadors of a distinct and more connected approach to consumption vis-à-vis mass agri-industrial choices. The role of entrepreneurs in promoting rural-urban relationships and sustainable regional development has been r...
This paper intends to analyze foreign consumers representations and behaviors regarding Portuguese rural provenance food products. Based on data collected through a questionnaire applied to the customers of food stores located in Aveiro, Lisbon and Porto (N=1553), the paper focuses on the foreign customers (N=373) from 29 countries, especially Braz...
The global shift in consumers food preferences and determinants of food choice have been widely studied during the last few decades. This global shift is in line with the ‘quality turn’ identified by Goodman (2003) pointing out to a turn from mass consumption to a growing qualitative differentiation of food products. In this vein, labels as local,...
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a societal essay, based on thorough measures of individual and communitarian protection, ranging from compulsory social distancing to quarantine. Following WHO recommendations, more or less strict policies were adopted by governments worldwide in order to mitigate public health risks. In Portugal, the first state of...
Although studies on food and tourism have gained terrain within tourism research, especially in the last decade, the connections of food tourism with rural territories have remained underexplored. This is particularly significant in the context of an increasing recognition that food should be understood as a distinguishing feature of rural tourism...
International and national guidelines have been promoting active aging while creating the necessary means for decision-makers and other relevant actors to work together (governance mechanisms) to implement local and active aging policies. This is especially important in the present COVID-19 pandemic context, posing greater challenges on older peopl...
Vulnerability processes and effects, albeit of great importance to cohesion and territorial policies, are nonetheless still underexplored and narrowly operationalized in scientific research. In particular, most assessments rely on economic indicators and a limited territorial scale, which do not have the same analytic potential of a broader view at...
the present paper focus is on how traditional rural food products are advertised and promoted within Gourmet or Specialty stores located in Aveiro, Lisbon and Porto, not only concerning their physical properties but also the narratives, symbols and images used to describe their producers, ways of production or preparation and, also, provenance rura...

The increase number of urban venues selling rural and locally produced foods is at par with an emerging interest of consumers in those products as opposed to more massified and industrial ones. This shift appears to partake a new form of rural urban relationship in which gourmet specialty stores may have a paramount role since they not only sell th...
Several studies report an overall critical judgement to the Portuguese health system by national citizens, who focus not only on the increased costs associated with healthcare, waiting lists for appointments and waiting times for emergency services, but also on the lack of appropriate tools and means that can help them to make more informed decisio...

... The latter views health as more than the absence of disease and dependence on medications, viewing health as being represented by functional ability. The latter is influenced by individual intrinsic capacity (consisting of five domains: cognitive, locomotor, vitality, sensory, and psychological), and the physical and social environment [2][3][4]. Therefore, a prerequisite of ageing in place should enable healthy ageing to take place through the provision of a physical and social environment that maximises functional ability with ageing. ...

... Added to this, 8 specialist food shops, delicatessen and gourmet stores, were also included to provide a more robust picture of the type of cheese souvenir available in the city. Food shops capture the meaning a place attaches to food (Forte et al., 2022) and, in particular, to cheese (Fusté-Forné, 2020). These food shops were selected following the suggestions from a local food expert resident in Palermo. ...

... Although the Central and West Alentejo regions are more relevant, the products from the Douro and Terras de Trás-os-Montes regions are equally important for the stores located in this city. In this sense, it is possible to conclude that even though the stores located in the two cities considered seem to essentially value products from the closest regions, the stores located in the city of Lisbon seek to sell products from almost the entire country, in line with what is referred to by [42]. ...
... Despite the diversity of stakeholders engaged in these foods' supply chains-decisionmakers, producers, distributors, retailers, and consumers-the focus of research has been mainly on the analysis of the policy strategies, as well as on the consumers' perceptions and preferences (e.g. Figueiredo et al., 2022;Velčovská, 2016). Therefore, the nuclear role of producers and their motivations to engage in the production of certified food products remains underexplored. ...

... In addition, a combination of different contextual cognitive-behavioural interventions, such as those included in the MITIG.RA programme (i.e. mindfulness, acceptance, and compassion-based strategies), have been previously proposed and tested in people with binge eating disorder [47], cancer [48], chronic pain [49], and overweight and obesity [50]. Overall, these studies have shown promising results in improving disease-specific symptoms, emotional distress, cognitive and emotional regulation, healthy behaviours, social functioning, and quality of life. ...

... It is also a very profitable hospitality strategy because it will increase tourists' expenditure in the TD, and food products can be used as economic drivers in the international tourism market. In fact, according to Figueiredo et al. (2021) "Food does not only convey important cultural functions and values but can also foster social, environmental, territorial and economic cohesion", also contributing to sustaining cultural heritage and food diversity. Food tourism can, therefore, be a successful formula for regional development, and a premium vehicle for local sustainability (Lopes et al., 2021(Lopes et al., , 2022. ...
