How much is sustainability worth in luxury food? The case of the Pistacchio Verde di Bronte PDO
This study explores how sustainability-related information affects consumers’ willingness to pay for Pistacchio Verde di Bronte PDO, a luxury agri-food product. Using an experimental auction with multiple price lists and random-effects interval regression models, the results show that transparent communication about environmentally sustainable practices increases perceived value, although the effects vary across consumer segments. While PDO certi…
Eliciting dairy farmers' willingness to pay for digital devices for Precision Livestock Farming
How do farmers plan to safeguard the environment? Empirical evidence on farmers’ intentions to adopt organic pest management practices
The development and optimization of more sustainable pest control methods, primarily focusing on preventive strategies and non-chemical tools, is a global priority for scientists and agrochemical companies. This study examines Sicilian farmers’ willingness to adopt organic pest management practices for protecting tomatoes and zucchini from two key insect pests, namely Tuta absoluta and Bemisia tabaci. We implemented the Theory of Planned Behavior…
Athletes preferences and willingness to pay for innovative high-protein functional foods
The growing number of athletes in the population leads to an increasing demand for high-protein functional foods to which food industries are trying to respond with new products and strategies that can meet the needs of athletes. An experimental auction was performed to elicit athletes' willingness to pay for an innovative high-protein bread, correlating it to specific food values. For a deeper understanding of the determinants of respondents' ch…
