TY - JOUR A1 - Lauterbach, Josephine A1 - Bruns, Antonia Johanna A1 - Häring, Anna Maria T1 - Exploring Consumer Preference towards the On-Farm Slaughtering of Beef in Germany: A Discrete Choice Experiment JF - Foods N2 - Current production standards and communication campaigns about animal welfare in relation to beef strongly emphasise the “humane” rearing of cattle. Aspects such as transport and slaughtering conditions are often overlooked in both production standards and communications with consumers. Long transport routes and conventional slaughtering can cause significant stress to animals and have negative impacts on their welfare and on meat quality. On-farm slaughter can address these criticisms. Communicating the value of low-stress slaughtering conditions like on-farm slaughtering may offer significant sales potential for a premium market segment. In this study, we explore consumers’ preferences and willingness to pay for beef that is slaughtered on-farm rather than in conventional abattoirs. We conducted an online survey (n = 400) in 2022, with a sample that is representative of the German population with respect to gender, age, income and education. Our survey included a discrete choice experiment for the purchase of minced beef, incorporating product attributes that influence purchase decisions. These included: price, information on the social, economic and environmental benefits of regional production, different production standards (conventional/organic) and information on on-farm slaughtering. Our findings indicate that consumers derive the highest utility from a low price, followed by information about on-farm slaughtering. Participants indicated a preference for information on high animal welfare over high beef quality. We conclude that highlighting on-farm slaughtering could be a significant benefit in marketing premium beef products.

A practical guide for the curricular integration of higher education for sustainable development. N2 - In order to meet the global challenge of shaping sustainable development, the com-petencies of education for sustainable development (ESD) are needed as key skills for all relevant professions. This approach is expressed in the UNESCO program “ESD-2030” (National Action Plan On Education For Sustainable Development (NAP) 2017), which is the roadmap for integrating ESD in the education sector. The inte-gration of ESD in the framework documents relevant to higher education is support-ed by the working group “Sustainability at Brandenburg Universities”. This guide on the curricular integration of higher education for sustainable development (HESD) is a contribution to capacity building at Brandenburg's universities.
