- Conflicting demands of agricultural production and environmental conservation: consumers’ perception of the quality and safety of foodPublication . Cunha, Luís Miguel; Moura, Ana Pinto deConsumer studies in industrialised countries document widespread concern about and distrust on food products and on production methods in the agriculture and in the food industry. These attitudes tend to be reinforced by the absence of face to face contact between buyers and sellers during the process of food selection, leaving the burden of assessing product quality entirely in consumers hands. Both sociological and psychological studies indicate that shopping under these circumstances is a stressful activity, while the lack of trust in agricultural and industrial methods of production and food quality gives rise to feelings of uncertainty and insecurity. In this context, consumers perceive organic products as one way to reduce this anxiety. For this reason, consumer’ behaviour related to organic foods will be examined in some detail in this paper. This work draws a direct confrontation between the European policy and legislation regarding agricultural production and environmental protection related to organic products, and the way consumer’s perceive organic product quality and safety.

- Distance education: the experience with environmental sciencesPublication . Carapeto, CristinaEducational systems should warrant learning needs of the population they serve offering a diversity of educational agents, strategies and answers to the needs of those that seek knowledge (Caeiro et al., 2004). In Portugal the experience of teaching subjects related to Environmental Sciences via open distance learning started in 1995 at Universidade Aberta (a Public University specially dedicated to the open distance learning of graduate and undergraduate courses). This experience began with General Ecology, and in view of the interest showed by students (and in fact by a wider public) the University later offered other subjects such as Environmental Education and Water Pollution. Today we have a number of different subjects within the vast area of Environmental Sciences and are preparing an undergraduate programme in view of the recent Bolonha agreement. The University also offers post-graduate programmes that bring together the environment and the citizen participation. The aim is to heighten the interests of our students in scientific subjects related to the environment as well as providing a practical perspective of what they can do as active citizens. The programmes are supported by necessary tools that enable students to critically analyse and discuss press articles about the environment, protocols that are designed to make industries “greener” as well as government decisions.
