Nevertheless, public awareness of eco-responsible farming remains very low.<\/li>\n<li>Consumer behavior and diets are often income-driven; only the middle and upper-middle classes can support &#8220;a company that uses local labor, manages the land well, doesn&#8217;t use pesticides, and generates jobs and income,&#8221; as one Quebecer put it.<\/li>\n<li>Issues with the food supply chain can hinder responsible practices: for example, if carrots from small producers come washed but not peeled, that can be a turn-off to distributors; similarly, it can be hard to find organic bird feed for the chicken industry.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, several interviewees cited interpersonal relations as decisive in getting a responsible food system up and running, with trust-building from field to factory and kitchen to table being a key to success.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For policymakers, the implications of these observations and findings are multifold, the UdeM researchers believe.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re telling them: &#8216;Here are some ways you can look at the contextual dimensions of a problem and figure out how to encourage everyone in the food systems to act more responsibly,'&#8221; said Lehoux.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can finance programs that support that, you can regulate to better harmonize the work of major and small players alike, you can fund research to advance the cause, you can promote awareness and build consensus around responsible food practices,&#8221; added Sabio.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What context shows us is that it&#8217;s not just one way that will get us where we want to be\u2014there are many,&#8221; Sabio said. &#8220;Right now, the dominant food system has priority, but that&#8217;s changing. A more responsible food system will emerge sooner than later\u2014we just have to understand how.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                            Sustainable practices linked to farm size in organic farming\n                                        <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__more p-4\">\n                                                                                                <strong>More information:<\/strong><br \/>\n                                                Renata Sabio et al, How Does Context Contribute to and Constrain the Emergence of Responsible Innovation in Food Systems?
