García-Cortijo et al. analyze the factors that explain the orientation of the wine industry in Portugal and Spain for adopting policies to improve sustainability. The authors show that those wineries that invest the most in their growth and anticipate future challenges are more inclined towards adopting sustainability policies. The study also reveals notable differences between the two countries. The objective of Siéwé Pougoué et al. is to build a proxy representative of the food situation in Cameroon within households to analyze the determinants that result from it. The social anchoring of the household, the workforce, the diversification of agricultural and pastoral activities and especially the agropastoral income are the main predictors of food security, while the level of vulnerability, the marital status (widower) and land conflict are the risk factors that degrade food well-being. Wang et al. analyze the evolution of the global trade network of wheat, corn and rice from 2012 to 2021, based on the complex network. At the same time, a global grain trade supply risk assessment index system was established to assess the supply risk of the main import trade countries. Miglietta et al. face on the study to classify countries of the Mediterranean region, based on their agriculture and food related SDGs progress, to understand the key implementation strategies, define the gaps between countries and identify priorities for action. Parausic et al. examine the impact of different beekeepers' characteristics on their perceptions of two personal competencies required for successful participation in short food supply chains such as communication and marketing knowledge and skills and available time to cultivate communication with customers and sell honey. The effects of the 2019-2020 context (Covid 19, Brexit, Trump Taxes) on exporting activities of wine companies are analyzed by Maurel and Cheriet. Five main results have been obtained. Hammami et al. estimate the services identified in the watershed O.Lachbal and develops projections in order to analyze the total economic value trajectory in the absence and presence of water and soil conservation measures. The results of the study show that progressive mitigation of soil water erosion leads to the stabilization of ecosystem functions and subsequent conservation of ES, while the opposite case of this scenario reveals an average cost of non-action 5 times higher than the total economic value of the current year. The knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of producers in pesticides use in Turkey have been faced by Türker and Berk. It has been determined that approximately 92% of the producers think that the agricultural pesticides used have negative effects on human health. To mitigate the negative effects of agrochemical overuse on both human health and the environment, policy makers and agricultural institutions should prioritize educational campaigns aimed at raising awareness among farmers. Çelik examines consumers' preferences and behaviors about probiotic foods (PFs) in Turkey. It was determined that consumers have a high awareness level of the benefits of PFs and that they consume these products with confidence. According to the results, positive correlations were found between consumers' knowledge level and consumers' perceptions of benefit and necessity. Global climate change has rapidly changed consumers' attitude and behavior toward food products by affecting significantly their supply and demand. Topcu and Elmi determined the main factors affecting camel meat consumption satisfaction of Somalia consumers under the climate change conditions. The results highlighted that the low and middle-income consumers focused on healthy diet willingness under the hedonic quality attributes mitigating the ecological footprint in livestock on their camel meat consumption satisfaction.
