Do consumers prefer a climate or eco label on food? The role of understanding, attitudes, and trust
Consumers confuse climate and eco labels without prior information. • Information increases preference for the eco label, reflected in higher WTP. • Environmental concern, not climate concern, drives label preference and WTP. • Consumers accept approximate data if the label is considered useful. Interest in mitigating the food sector's environmental impact is growing in response to global warming and environmental pressures. This has resulted in …
Examining public support for comprehensive policy packages to tackle unhealthy food environments
Objective: This study examines public support – and its drivers – for comprehensive policy packages (i.e. bundles of coherent policy measures introduced together) aimed at improving food environments. Design: Participants completed an online survey with a choice-based conjoint experiment, where they evaluated pairs of policy packages comprising up to seven distinct food environment measures. After choosing a preferred package or opting for a sing…
How can advocates leverage power to advance comprehensive regulation on ultra-processed foods? learning from advocate experience in Argentina
BACKGROUND: The use of corporate power to undermine public health policy processes is increasingly well understood; however, relatively little scholarship examines how advocates can leverage power to promote the successful adoption of public health policies. The objective of this paper is to explore how advocates leveraged three forms of power - structural, instrumental and discursive - to promote the passage of the Promotion of Healthy Eating La…
Consumer's perception of food pairing products with usual, novel and unusual flavour combinations: A segmentation approach
In saturated markets, companies are continually launching new products. Food innovations particularly play a decisive role in this case. One new concept is food pairing, which signifies that the more aromatic compounds two foods have in common, the better they taste together. Food pairing offers an opportunity to develop innovative foods. However, some consumers are risk-averse or exhibit food neophobia. Studies on food neophobia indicate that in…
Pasture shooting and mobile slaughterhouses from a consumer's point of view: Alternative slaughter methods and the meat paradox
Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate consumers' attitudes towards alternative slaughter methods (ASMs). ASMs present more animal-friendly and stress-free slaughter practices. However, these practices are not yet widespread due to strict regulations, high labor efforts and costs. Therefore, the market for meat products from ASMs is still small, and less is known about consumers' awareness, assessment and willingness to pay (WTP) for…
Politicised opinion leaders in the younger generation: To meat or not to meat
Purpose The consumption of animal-based food products faces several sustainability challenges. To date, however, meat intake plays an important role in everyday food choices. With their ability to change the opinions of a critical mass, opinion leaders in food choices are assumed to play a predominant role in influencing future dietary styles. Thus, the objective of this study was to identify opinion leaders in food choices and their personal mea…
Climate change awareness of the young generation and its impact on their diet
As climate change is a topic that highly influences the young generation, it is important to understand the level of climate change awareness of younger people. Nutrition is an important aspect to consider in relation to climate change awareness, as nutrition is a field of action where everyone can contribute. For example, following a meat-free diet can significantly help mitigate climate change. The aim of this study was to analyze the climate c…
My Meat Does Not Have Feathers: Consumers’ Associations with Pictures of Different Chicken Breeds
The use of traditional chicken breeds with a dual purpose (egg and meat production) has become a relevant topic in Germany mainly due to animal welfare concerns and the importance of conserving genetic variability in poultry farming. However, consumers have little knowledge about the different chicken breeds used in the industry; making it challenging to communicate traditional breeds and their advantages to consumers. Hence, this study takes the…
More room for legume – Consumer acceptance of meat substitution with classic, processed and meat-resembling legume products
Staatliche Eingriffe in die Lebensmittelwahl: Welche klimapolitischen Instrumente unterstützt die Bevölkerung
Staatliche Eingriffe in den Lebensmittelkonsum der Deutschen sind im europäischen Vergleich eher selten. Politiker(innen) empfinden wohl Lenkungssteuern- oder Werbeverbote als unpopulär. Konkrete Maßnahmen zum Klimaschutz, etwa eine Klimasteuer auf importierte Flugwaren, stoßen jedoch auf breite Zustimmung und könnten durchaus zu Klimazielen beitragen.In view of climate change, policy approaches addressing the consumption side of nutrition are be…
The Case of Legume-Cereal Crop Mixtures in Modern Agriculture and the Transtheoretical Model of Gradual Adoption
Consumption of organic and functional food. A matter of well-being and health
Which factors influence the expansion of bioenergy? An empirical study of the investment behaviours of German farmers
Evaluation and reliability of the organic certification system: Perceptions by farmers in Latin America
In recent years, organic agriculture has developed rapidly, and organic certification systems are now used worldwide. However, if these standards are unable to meet their promises, their reliability will be called into question and trust in organic products will fade. As major suppliers of organic food to the European market, it is crucial for Latin American farmers to show their customers that the standards they have implemented are actually del…
