Understanding the Drivers of Meat Criteria Adoption: An Empirical Analysis
Session
Management, Business and Economics
Description
The adoption of meat criteria within public contracts is gaining attention as governments and public institutions are increasingly interested in issues related to sustainability. This paper explores the complex dynamics surrounding the adoption of meat criteria in public contracts, seeking to uncover barriers to its adoption.
This study employs a comprehensive research framework to examine the key drivers and barriers that shape the integration of meat-related criteria into public procurement practices. Drawing from a rich administrative dataset obtained from Kosovo’s e-procurement, it aims to identify the most influential factors. Among these, the paper explores the legislative requirements and policy directives as pivotal drivers of meat criteria adoption, reflecting a broader societal push towards responsible and sustainable sourcing. Moreover, we will also explore the economic considerations, cost implications, and the availability of sustainable meat sources as significant challenges in the adoption of meat criteria.
This research has significant implications for public procurement practices and highlights the evolving role of governments in driving positive societal change. By understanding the factors that influence the adoption of meat criteria, policymakers and procurement professionals can make informed decisions that align with broader sustainability goals and address growing concerns related to the environmental and ethical dimensions of meat production.
In conclusion, the adoption of meat criteria in public contracts is a nuanced process influenced by a multitude of factors. Understanding and addressing these factors is instrumental in crafting procurement practices that promote sustainability, health, and ethical values, ultimately contributing to a more responsible and conscious approach to public sector purchasing.
