Abstract

Food production and consumption are among the different activities that are affected by the concept of sustainability in society. Sustainability is one of the three main food trends that characterizes the entire food chain, along with health and safety. The purpose of this article is to determine the role of foods responsible production and consumption research within the sustainable development goals. For this purpose, the Web of Science database was searched using keywords, subject, title, publication name and research areas related to the content. Inclusion/exclusion criteria were established to avoid reproducibility of results. When the variables used in the research are examined in line with the findings, it is possible to say that researches focusing on food waste and environmental factors gain weight in responsible production and consumption studies. It was determined that the first article dealing with the relationship between responsible production and consumption and food was published in 2018.However, studies dealing with the Covid-19 process, food supply chain and post-harvest losses constitute thematic areas. In terms of responsible production and foods, it is seen that research is carried out in pre-harvest processes and supply chain dimensions. This also reveals the research gap in the current literature. Because each item that constitutes the sub-dimensions of responsible production and consumption is also a variable that can be directly associated with foods.

Sorumlu Üretim ve Tüketim Araştırmalarında Gıdaların Yeri

Abstract

Toplumda sürdürülebilirlik kavramından etkilenen farklı faaliyetler arasında gıda üretimi ve tüketimi ilk sıralarda yer almaktadır. Sürdürülebilirlik, sağlık ve güvenlik ile birlikte tüm gıda zincirini yönlendiren üç ana gıda trendinden biridir. Bu makalenin amacı, sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedefleri içerisinde yer alan sorumlu üretim ve tüketim araştırmalarında gıdaların rolünün belirlenmesidir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Web of Science veri tabanı üzerinden anahtar kelimeler aracılığıyla konu, başlık, yayın adı ve içerikle ilgili araştırma alanları kullanılarak tarama yapılmıştır. Sonuçların tekrarlanabilirliğini engellemek içinse dahil etme/dışlama kriterleri belirlenmiştir. Bulgular doğrultusunda sorumlu üretim ve tüketim ile gıdaların ilişkisini ele alan ilk makalenin 2018 yılında yayımlandığı, araştırmaların 2018 yılı ve sonrasında yoğunlaştığı tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmalarda kullanılan değişkenler incelendiğinde ise gıda israfı ile sorumlu üretim ve tüketimin çevresel etkilerine odaklanan çalışmaların ağırlık kazandığı söylenebilir. Sorumlu üretim ve gıdalar boyutunda ise araştırmaların hasat öncesi süreçler ile tedarik zinciri boyutunda gerçekleştiği görülmektedir. Bu durum aynı zamanda mevcut literatürdeki araştırma boşluğunu da ortaya koymaktadır. Çünkü sorumlu üretim ve tüketimin alt boyutlarını oluşturan her bir madde aynı zamanda gıdalar ile doğrudan ilişkilendirilebilir değişkenlerdir
