C04 starts from the assumption that middle class consumers are major drivers of social-economic and environmental transition and increasingly important demanders for rural-urban ecosystem services. C04 aims at understanding changing food consumption practices and food choices of middle class consumers in relation to their impact on supply chains, land use and the rural-urban environment. C04 also investigates potentials and obstacles for food transition toward sustainability. Sustainability issues concerning food, health and lifestyles are becoming increasingly important in the social discourse of middle class consumers. The already observable shift towards sustainable food consumption and governance may feedback to ecosystem processes and may open up new options to conserve and restore biodiversity and other ecosystem services.The major objectives of C04 are to provide an evidence-based and process-oriented understanding of middle class households state of food practices in transition, to reveal drivers, social discourses, governance procedures and policies regarding the transition toward food sustainability, and to estimate impacts of middle class food practices on the rural-urban food system. This is complementary to issues on food/market access and security studied in C05, and in the context of rural-urban transitions is needed to cover the full range of socio-spatial dynamics. Data collection will primarily address GH3 and and add the project specific key questions (1) How do food consumption practices of middle class consumers change (concerning intake, diversity, purchasing practices, preferences) under circumstances of socio-economic transition, globalizing urbanization and threatened natural resource systems?, (2) What is the current state of food transition toward sustainability among middle class consumers?, (3) What are implications of changing food practices on rural-urban food production, processing, marketing, and modes of food governance? C04 builts on data input from A01, B01, A03, B02, and B03. Data collection will be carried out in collaboration with B02 and C05. To elucidate the role of middle class consumers as demanders of ecosystem services C04 is linked to C03. C04 will contribute to the overall theoretical framework by analyzing resource system dynamics concerning socio-economic factors and the state of food transition among middle classes. It will estimate quantitative and qualitative dimensions (economic and socio-cultural factors, discourses, modes of governance and policies) of rural-urban food system transition, and provide spatially explicit data on patterns of middle class consumption preferences and the state of transition toward food sustainability. Concepts on food systems (Ericksen, 2008) have been developed in parallel to more socio-politically oriented SES frameworks (Ostrom, 2009), but C04 will consider them as example of SES and as such integrate this approach into the joint framework of FOR2432.

C 04假设中产阶级消费者是社会经济和环境转型的主要驱动力，也是城乡生态系统服务日益重要的需求者。C 04旨在了解中产阶级消费者不断变化的食品消费习惯和食品选择对供应链、土地使用和城乡环境的影响。C 04还调查了食品向可持续发展过渡的潜力和障碍。关于食品、健康和生活方式的可持续性问题在中产阶级消费者的社会话语中变得越来越重要。已经观察到的向可持续粮食消费和治理的转变可能会反馈到生态系统过程，并可能为保护和恢复生物多样性和其他生态系统服务开辟新的选择。C 04的主要目标是提供一个基于证据和过程导向的理解中产阶级家庭的粮食做法在过渡中的状态，揭示驱动因素，社会话语，有关向粮食可持续发展过渡的治理程序和政策，并估计中产阶级粮食实践对城乡粮食系统的影响。这是对C 05研究的粮食/市场准入和安全问题的补充，在城乡过渡的背景下，需要涵盖社会空间动态的全部范围。数据收集将主要针对GH 3，并增加项目特有的关键问题：（1）在社会经济转型、全球化城市化和自然资源系统受到威胁的情况下，中产阶级消费者的食品消费习惯如何变化（涉及摄入量、多样性、购买习惯、偏好）？(2)中产阶级消费者中食品向可持续发展过渡的现状如何？(3)改变粮食做法对城乡粮食生产、加工、销售和粮食管理模式有何影响？C 04建立在来自A01、B 01、A03、B 02和B 03的数据输入上。数据收集将与B 02和C 05合作进行。为了阐明中产阶级消费者作为生态系统服务需求者的作用，将C 04与C 03联系起来。C 04将通过分析与社会经济因素有关的资源系统动态和中产阶级之间的食物过渡状态，为整体理论框架做出贡献。它将估计农村-城市粮食系统过渡的定量和定性维度（经济和社会文化因素，话语，治理模式和政策），并提供关于中产阶级消费偏好模式和粮食可持续性过渡状态的空间明确数据。食品系统的概念（Ericksen，2008）与社会政治导向的SES框架（Ostrom，2009）并行发展，但C 04将把它们作为SES的例子，并将这种方法整合到FOR 2432的联合框架中。
