This study explores the determinants of intention and behavior towards environmentally friendly agricultural (EFA) food in China. We conduct the influencing factor model on behavioral intention and behavior toward EFA food by extending TPB model with the theory of public environmental policy and perceived value and trust. The empirical analysis revealed that public environmental policy and subjective norm positively affect behavioral intention and behavior for purchasing EFA food. However, trust and attitude have no significant effect on the intention of purchasing EFA food. Subjective norm and perceived behavioral control have a significant effect on intentions toward purchasing EFA food. And the effect of intentions on behavior towards purchasing environmentally friendly agricultural food is significant and positive. Moreover, we have found that female consumers may consume more of environmentally friendly agricultural food compared with males, and the consumption of EFA food was significantly different across different level of income.

Background: The magnitude of inbreeding depression depends on the recessive burden of the individual, which can be traced back to the hidden (recessive) inbreeding load among ancestors. However, these ancestors carry different alleles at potentially deleterious loci and therefore there is individual variability of this inbreeding load. Estimation of the additive genetic value for inbreeding load is possible using a decomposition of inbreeding in partial inbreeding components due to ancestors.

Unlabelled: Recent advances in machine learning technologies and omics methodologies are revolutionizing dietary assessment by integrating phenotypical, clinical, and metabolic biomarkers, which are crucial for personalized precision nutrition. This investigation aims to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of artificial intelligence tools, particularly machine learning (ML) methods, in analyzing these biomarkers to characterize food and nutrient intake and to predict dietary patterns.

Methods: We analyzed data from 138 subjects from the European Dietary Deal project through comprehensive examinations, lifestyle questionnaires, and fasting blood samples.
