Resumo(s)
All over the world, the food industry faces several challenges, such as food security and life
conditions of agricultural workforce. The population holds an increasing interest in agricultural
products to achieve a healthy lifestyle but might be promoting unethical practices at the farming
process.
Without knowing nothing but the country of origin of the product, the consumer is doing
uninformed shopping. This study aims to develop a model, able to crosscheck the coffee products
sold at the supermarket with their country of origin’s classification regarding food security,
environmental sustainability and sociopolitical ethics. Another major objective is to propose an
application to generate the classification of each coffee product, allowing the consumer to make
informed shopping.
The Awareness score is proposed to classify the coffee products in terms of its social and
political responsibility during the products production. Underlying the proposed score, there is food
security, environmental performance, migration integration policy, and child labour occurrence. The
proposed prototype design allows developing a software for consumers to consult coffee products’
scores during the buying process. A survey allowed to understand that consumers are not deeply
concerned with the underlying problems of coffee production, however, an application would allow
them to make more concious shopping.
