Consumption of edible flowers in South Africa
Purpose Edible flowers have traditionally been consumed for their nutritional and medicinal properties. Aponogeton distachyos is an aquatic flowering plant native to the Western Cape of South Africa (SA) that used to be a wild plant gathered during the winter months, but it is now considered to be underutilised and endangered. This study aims at gaining insights from different stakeholders into the activities across the plant value chain and thei…
Encouraging willingness to try insect foods with a utility-value intervention
Curious to eat insects? Curiosity as a Key Predictor of Willingness to try novel food
Entomophagy - the consumption of insects - is often rejected by Western society despite its benefits over traditional animal-based proteins. While several factors have been identified as potential predictors of people's willingness to try insect foods, this study introduced an under-explored factor: curiosity, which is a powerful motivator of behaviour that can overcome negative emotions and motivate us to seek new experiences. In two experiments…
Consumers' preferences for intrinsic and extrinsic product attributes of plant-based eggs
Purpose Plant-based eggs have recently been developed to provide consumers with a healthier, animal-friendlier and more sustainable alternative to conventional eggs. The purpose of this paper is to investigate intrinsic and extrinsic attribute preferences for three prototypes of plant-based egg, namely the liquid, powder and egg-shaped. Design/methodology/approach Nine focus groups in the United Kingdom and nine in Italy were conducted, with a to…
Effects of physical, non-immersive virtual, and immersive virtual store environments on consumers' perceptions and purchase behavior
Evoked prior learning experience and approach to learning as predictors of academic achievement
Background. In separate studies and research from different perspectives, five factors are found to be among those related to higher quality outcomes of student learning (academic achievement). Those factors are higher self-efficacy, deeper approaches to learning, higher quality teaching, students' perceptions that their workload is appropriate, and greater learning motivation. University learning improvement strategies have been built on these r…
