Meat consumption has come under scrutiny due to its significant ecological footprint. Understanding the determinants of meat consumption is crucial for designing effective interventions to promote sustainable diets. Thus, using results from the representative survey conducted in Latvia, in 2023 and by applying the factor analysis and generalized linear regression, this research aims to explore the most influential determinants of meat consumption behaviours within the framework of the extended Theory of Planned Behaviour.

Gender equality is a fundamental value of the European Union (EU), as reflected in its policy framework. Despite commendable progress, gender disparities persist, particularly in the agricultural sector. Central and Eastern European countries merit particular attention due to their transforming rural areas and the need to ensure social equality.

A farm plays the role of both a custodian of natural resources and a workplace. They are responsible for the quality of food produced and, on the other hand, for the standard of living of the farming family and the quality of the environment. The aim of the study is to examine the relationships between ecological and economic indicators at the farm level of various production types in Poland and Lithuania.

Analysing the efficiency of investments in renewable energy-based development plays a pivotal role in maximising the benefits of transitioning to a more sustainable energy future. Examining the efficiency of these investments ensures the optimal allocation of resources to preserve the environment and promote economic growth and social well-being.

The present research assesses the agri-environmental sustainability of the Baltic states, namely Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, while analyzing agricultural biodiversity, greenhouse gas emissions, land utilization, energy use, and water management. For the purpose of these evaluations and ranking, we employ the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), applied to a set of agri-environmental indicators (AES) collected from various sources, including Eurostat and similar databases.

The European market for organic products has been expanding, with a persistent difference between the growth rates of organic retail trade (actual demand for organic products) and the growth rates of organic agricultural land areas (potential supply of organic products). This makes the European Union (EU) dependent on global imports.

With the recognition of the impact of the transport sector on climate change and human health, decision-makers are under the pressure to shape the transport sector in a more sustainable way, considering more sustainable options and technologies.
