The aim of this paper is to determine the awareness measures of consumers from Eastern Poland and Western Ukraine towards regional food products, including consumer knowledge on regional products available in the media and their availability on the food market. The effort was made to compare consumers’ opinions on the reasons for purchasing regional food and ways of distinguishing it from conventional products, as well as on the availability of regional products. Consumer awareness—that is, making informed choices based on the knowledge we have—is a measure of attitudes and cognition, and sometimes can be directed towards the brand, which is the product’s regional designation. Therefore, it is necessary to comment that attitudes towards regionality can generate a behavioral intent. A diagnostic survey with an author’s questionnaire was used in the study, which helped to survey 1128 respondents from Eastern Poland—that is, from the Podlaskie, Lublin, and Subcarpathia regions—and 1072 from Western Ukraine, including the Volyn, Lviv, and Transcarpathia regions. Discriminant function analysis was used in statistical analysis. Both residents of Eastern Poland and Western Ukraine obtained information on regional food products from their friends or family and from television (TV), internet, and regional fairs. Consumers from both countries pointed at too many possibilities of purchasing regional products; at the same time, they paid attention to a limited number of points of sale. TV and Internet have a great promotional potential to educate young consumers focused on the purchase of regional food products.

Food Market

The complex administrative and territorial structure of Russia, the significant differentiation of regions according to the level of economic development, the heterogeneity of natural and climatic conditions, the historically established system of specialization and division of labor, the different demographic situation, the different distances of regions from the center of Russia and its state borders, and national traditions objectively determine the emergence of regional food markets that reflect the specifics of the development of individual regions. Food security is the dominant part of the socio-economic policy and the primary task of the leaders of any state, a necessary factor for improving the quality and increasing the comfort of life of the population [2]. The problems of the formation and development of the Russian food market in general and regional food markets in particular in the border regions remain not fully understood. In the conducted research, insufficient attention was paid to the assessment of the conditions and factors that determine the process of achieving the goal of regulating the food market in a market economy, the specifics of the methods, mechanism and consequences of regulating the food markets of the regions, the assessment and methods of ensuring food security of both the country as a whole and the Far East in particular. The revision of the policy of state influence on economic processes required the development of a concept of state support for various subjects of economic relations and the formation of mechanisms for regulating markets, including food markets. The smooth functioning of food markets, combined with a focus on the products of domestic producers, is an essential condition for ensuring the country's food security.

The paper aims to assess the level and predictors of regional ethnocentrism on the market of regional food products in the context of sustainable consumption. The study contributes to the theory of consumer ethnocentrism by extending our knowledge about its regional dimension. Regional ethnocentrism is the preference for products originating from the consumer’s region. I conducted a survey in a representative sample of 1000 inhabitants of Poland with the use of the CAWI (Computer-Assisted Web Interview) methodology. Regional ethnocentric consumers were characterized by a significantly more favorable attitude to regional food products compared to the rest of the sample. In a multiple regression model, the following eight statistically significant predictors of the regional ethnocentrism were identified: the importance of brand and retailer trust on the food market; the importance of quality signs in regional food purchases; opinion that insufficient marketing constitutes an important barrier to the development of the regional food market; buying regional products in shops owned by producers, rather than large distribution networks; frequency of purchasing regional products as a tourist; and national ethnocentrism on the regional food market. These predictors are strongly related to the three major pillars of sustainable development—economic, social, and ecological.

This article seeks to describe the attitude of residents of Eastern Poland and Western Ukraine towards regional food products. The objective of the project was to evaluate the elements of promotion, which encourage consumers to buy regional products. Author’s questionnaire was used in the survey of 1,128 residents from Poland, and 1,072 from Ukraine. The Likert five-point scale was used to measure the participant’s attitudes following the construction and validation procedure. The Statistica 13.1 PL program was used in statistical analysis. The most important promotional activities for residents in both countries were: presentation of food products at regional exhibitions, fairs and events of regional and foreign range. The increased interest in regional food products is a manifestation of new food-related tendencies and in particular to preserve behaviors and values stemming from the cultural heritage of both Poland and Ukraine. It is also connected with high quality of regional products. Appropriate promotion helps consumers see the value of regional products.

Buckwheat Husk

The current state of the economy requires a qualitatively new organization of the region’s food market. The development of regional food markets should be based primarily on a fuller use of local raw materials. The most important task in the development of the regional food market is the search for new sources of natural biologically active substances and the development of functional food products based on them. Melanin is a unique biologically active substance with inhibitory, protective, antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal effects. The main plant sources of melanin are chaga, birch mushroom and sunflower husk, the use of which is not always advisable and economically profitable. It is advisable to consider buckwheat husk Fagopyrumesculentum, which is characterized by the absence of ballast fraction and a high content of brown pigment localized in the outer layers of the cellular wall of the entire grain shell, as a promising raw material source for the isolation of melanin. The biochemical characteristics of melanin from alternative raw sources require a more detailed study of the properties of the pigment, in particular the functional ones, to confirm the practical possibility of using them as functional food ingredients in food products - antioxidants and biosorbents-detoxifying agents.

The most progressive and promising model of spatial organization of food markets of the North Caucasus Russian Theatre is a cluster model. In the proposed methodology of the process approach to develop a structural model of agro-food cluster in the NORTH is cluster analysis. The regional food market as a single system, which combines production, marketing and consumption of foods with a specific hierarchy, is characterized by different relationships and proportions between its components and is an important an indicator of a country's economic development, achieving food security. Disclosure of potential in a market system, its effective use, taking into account regional particularities and specificities of the economy, improvement of the spatial organization and improving the efficiency of such a complex system as the regional food market is impossible without knowledge of its essence, principles of formation and operation. In this connection there was a need to develop modern methods of research, evaluation, analysis, improvement of structure and functional organisation of the regional food markets as an important factor for the socio-economic development the country. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the clustering of agribusiness implemented taking into account the peculiarities of regional AIC on the basis of strategic management zones: industrial, conventional and organic. To determine the effectiveness of the cluster algorithm of its evaluation, which is based on the criteria of usefulness and survival in the conditions of the cluster in the region, which are defined using evaluation scales and weights the main factors utility and survival in the cluster.

ABSTRACTSlovenia, like many former Eastern bloc countries, is now coming to terms with the increasing popularity of English.Today English is the most widely used foreign language in Europe. It is used in business, education, science, the media, advertisements, music, graffiti, and in many other places, although its greatest use can be found in commerce, culture, science and education (Phillipson, 2003). The presence of English is felt more in some parts of Europe than in others, however. In the Scandinavian countries, for example, English manifests itself in all parts of society and the knowledge of English is so high that some consider it a second language (McArthur, 1996). In Eastern Europe, the acquisition and use of English has traditionally not been as widespread, although in recent years, the picture has changed greatly, as English has become more and more popular in what were formerly Eastern bloc countries.In many ways Slovenia has been following the trends in other Central and Eastern European countries. The influence of English has been growing since the Second World War and in particular after the end of the Cold War. Its influence has intensified even more after Slovenia became an independent country. Today, Slovenes feel both cautious and enthusiastic about English. There is extensive legislation to protect the Slovene language, while at the same time there is a ‘certain enthusiasm for both “western” ideas and the world language, English’ (Schlick, 2003: 4).

Although investigative reports have contributed to the social movement against white-collar crime, few studies assess the extent to which the media socially construct corporate violence as a “crime.” We examine this issue through a content analysis of newspaper coverage of the fire-related deaths of 25 workers at the Imperial Food Products chicken-processing plant, which resulted in the company's owner pleading guilty to manslaughter. The analysis revealed that newspaper reports largely attributed the deaths to the lax enforcement of safety regulations but did not initially construct the deaths as a crime or subsequently publicize the criminal convictions.
