We explored food consumption practices and indicators for food transitions among middle-class households in the South Indian megacity of Bengaluru. Through 38 qualitative interviews, we asked respondents about their perceptions of food safety and how they navigate food safety risks in their daily food practices. The COVID-19 pandemic brought the topic of food safety into sharp relief, and consumers were keen on maintaining good health through food consumption. We engaged social practice theory to understand food shopping practices, the rise in immune-boosting foods and the consumer demand for safe, healthy food as this relates to wider sustainable food transitions. We found that middle-class consumers mitigate food safety risks through careful selection of where food is purchased. A rise in immune-boosting foods, traditional herbs and spices part of the regional diet are being revitalized. Demand for organically grown foods is hampered by a lack of trust in verification systems. We argued that government investment in building consumer confidence in both food safety, and organic labeling increases the willingness to pay a premium price among middle-class consumers."],["dc.description.sponsorship","German Research Foundation (DFG)"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3390/su142013557"],["dc.identifier.pii","su142013557"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/118266"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-621"],["dc.relation.eissn","2071-1050"],["dc.title","Shifts in Food Consumption Practices among Middle-Class Households in Bengaluru, India"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

However, knowledge on the ecological and social outcomes of urbanization is largely fragmented across a multitude of local-level studies. We synthesized the outcomes of urbanization on 15 ecological and social variables associated with regional farming systems, namely water quality, agro-biodiversity, carbon sequestration, control of invasive species, soil fertility, control of soil erosion, pollination, cultural identity, food security, income and employment, demographic stability, conflict mitigation, social network, health and education, and equity. From 246 cases, positive, negative, and non-conclusive urbanization outcomes were extracted. Additionally, distributions of these outcomes by continent, population size of towns/cities, national per-capita GDP, and dominant farming systems were assessed. As a result, more negative than positive outcomes were found. Although ecological outcomes were largely negative, social ones were mostly positive. Threats to water quality, demographic stability, and cultural identity arose as particularly pressing issues. The ecological outcomes related to pollination were largely positive but all other ecological variables reported higher negative outcomes. The social outcomes related to the economic viability of farming and employment were largely positive, whereas those related to cultural and equity aspects were predominantly negative. The ecological outcomes were frequently negative in the Global South, medium-large cities, poor countries, and for livestock or fishery systems. The social outcomes were more frequently negative in the Americas, highly populated cities and megacities, wealthy countries, and for livestock and fishery systems. The threats and opportunities of rural–urban transformations in different dimensions and contexts of farming systems should be considered in any urban planning strategy."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.5751/ES-12579-260324"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/94519"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-478"],["dc.relation.issn","1708-3087"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Geographisches Institut"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Humangeographie"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Department für Agrarökonomie und Rurale Entwicklung"],["dc.title","Ecological and social outcomes of urbanization on regional farming systems: a global synthesis"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In Indonesia, large areas of forest were lost and extensive oil palm plantations were established over the last decades. We conducted a combined social and environmental study in a region of recent land-use change, the Jambi Province on Sumatra. The objective was to derive complementary lines of arguments to provide balanced insights into environmental perceptions and eco-hydrological processes accompanying land-use change. Interviews with villagers highlighted concerns regarding decreasing water levels in wells during dry periods and increasing fluctuations in stream flow between rainy and dry periods. Periodic water scarcity was found to severely impact livelihoods, which increased social polarization. Sap flux measurements on forest trees and oil palms indicate that oil palm plantations use as much water as forests for transpiration. Eddy covariance analyses of evapotranspiration over oil palm point to substantial additional sources of evaporation in oil palm plantations such as the soil and epiphytes. Stream base flow from a catchment dominated by oil palms was lower than from a catchment dominated by rubber plantations; both showed high peaks after rainfall. An estimate of erosion indicated approximately 30 cm of topsoil loss after forest conversion to both oil palm and rubber plantations. Analyses of climatic variables over the last 20 years and of a standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index for the last century suggested that droughts are recurrent in the area, but have not increased in frequency or intensity. Consequently, we assume that conversions of rain forest ecosystems to oil palm plantations lead to a redistribution of precipitated water by runoff, which leads to the reported periodic water scarcity. Our combined social and environmental approach points to significant and thus far neglected eco-hydrological consequences of oil palm expansion."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2016"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.5751/ES-08214-210205"],["dc.identifier.fs","620597"],["dc.identifier.gro","3147091"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/13227"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/110156"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-575"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | A | A02: Wassernutzungseigenschaften von Bäumen und Palmen in Regenwald-Transformationssystemen Zusammenfassung"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | A | A03: Untersuchung von Land-Atmosphäre Austauschprozesse in Landnutzungsänderungs-Systemen"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | A | A04: Carbon stock, turnover and functions in heavily weathered soils under lowland rainforest transformation systems"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | B | B10: Landschaftsbezogene Bewertung der ökologischen und sozioökonomischen Funktionen von Regenwald- Transformationssystemen in Sumatra (Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C02: Soziale Transformationsprozesse und nachhaltige Ressourcennutzung im ländlichen Jambi"],["dc.relation.issn","1708-3087"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Geowissenschaften und Geographie"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Ökosystemmodellierung"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Bioklimatologie"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.access","openAccess"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject","eco-hydrology; environmental perception; erosion; evapotranspiration; forest; land-use change; runoff; rural water supply; streamflow; transpiration"],["dc.subject.gro","Eco-hydrology"],["dc.subject.gro","Environmental perception"],["dc.subject.gro","Erosion"],["dc.subject.gro","Evapotranspiration"],["dc.subject.gro","Forest"],["dc.subject.gro","Land-use change"],["dc.subject.gro","Runoff"],["dc.subject.gro","Rural water supply"],["dc.subject.gro","Streamflow"],["dc.subject.gro","Transpiration"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_journalarticles"],["dc.title","Water scarcity and oil palm expansion: social views and environmental processes"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
