Texto completoResumen
Organic food is claimed to be one of the fastest growing food categories worldwide, with annual sale growth rates of 20-30%. While the uptake of organic foods is higher in G7 countries, organic consumption rates in Australia are significantly lower than other comparable Western markets, despite general positive attitudes towards organics, and significant organic production areas. Impediments to organic food uptake have been identified previously from both a supply- and demand-side perspective. Impediments include availability, pricing and certification.
The aims of this research are twofold. First, this research seeks to understand what Australian consumers currently understand about organic certification schemes and labelling. Second, it incorporates a large-scale national survey that examines preferences for organic alternatives. This research applies a choice-based method, best-worst (BW) scaling, in three organic food categories to understand the trade-offs that respondents are willing to make.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIROOs alimentos orgânicos têm sido alvo de vários estudos. Consumidores justificam sua preferência por serem considerados mais saudáveis, por preservarem o meio-ambiente e por questões éticas. Outra razão de escolha frequentemente apontada é a questão do sabor. Alimentos orgãnicos são considerados mais saborosos do que não orgânicos. Foi conduzido um experimento com 142 consumidores de alimentos orgânicos, em duas feiras de alimentos orgânicos no Rio de Janeiro, utilizando suco de laranja e cenoura: orgânicos e não orgânicos. O entrevistado deveria avaliar atributos dos produtos, inicialmente sem serem identificados como orgânico e não orgânico. Em seguida, avaliou os mesmos atributos, desta vez com as amostras identificadas. Os resultados sugerem que a crença de que um alimento orgânico é superior a seus equivalentes não orgânicos sobrepõe-se à percepção de sabor.
Organic food has been the subject of several studies over the past years. Health and environmental concerns, as well as ethical issues have been considered the main reasons that justify their purchase. Moreover, another reason pointed out is the matter of taste: organic food has been believed to have a better taste than non-organic food. An experiment was carried out at two organic fairs in Rio de Janeiro, with 142 consumers of organic food, using samples of orange juice and carrots, both organic and non-organic. A blind test was conducted and afterwards a test identifying each sample as organic and non-organic. Results indicate that the belief that an organic food has a better taste overlapped their actual taste.

Texto completoResumen
This dissertation examines organic food marketing from three aspects: household demand for organic food, household choice of retail formats accounting for preference organic food preference, and farmers’ joint adoption of organic farming and direct marketing methods. In Chapter Two, given the fast growth of private label milk and organic milk in the U.S., we estimate a censored demand system to study the demand relations among types of milk differentiated by brand types and organic status, using recent Nielsen Homescan data. We find that sociodemographic factors still play important roles in a household choice of milk types, and fluid milk is an inferior good. Moreover, as income increases, households are more likely to shift from buying conventional milk to organic milk and from private label conventional milk to branded conventional milk, as indicated by the asymmetric cross price elasticities.
In Chapter Three, we examine whether households’ preference for organic food can affect their retail format choices for their grocery shopping trips. We model households’ choices of five major retail format with a conditional logit model, also using the Nielsen Homescan data. Our main findings are that regular organic user households are more likely to patronage organic specialty stores and discount stores, but less likely to shop in warehouse clubs. Price, consumer loyalty, and household shopping behavior also affects household retail format choice.
In Chapter Four, we examine the relation between farmers’ adoption of organic farming and direct marketing, given their similar objectives in satisfying consumer demand and increasing farm income. We model farmers’ adoption of the two practices with a bivariate simultaneous linear probability model using data from USDA Agricultural Resource Management Survey. Our main finding is that the farmers’ adoption of organic farming decreases their probability of adopting direct marketing, whereas the reverse effect is insignificant. Also, organic farming is found to improve gross farm income.

Texto completoResumen
The worldwide market for organic foods is growing fast, but New Zealand meat producers have been slow to respond. Specifically, New Zealand producers have little or no organic lamb products for export or domestic sale. Part of the reason for this hesitancy to meet demand with supply is that the nature of the demand and consumer willingness to pay for the product is not well understood. The purpose of this study is to investigate New Zealand organic food consumers’ attitudes towards organic food and production methods and to evaluate consumer willingness to pay for an organic lamb product. Data for this study was collected using computer aided personal interviewing (CAPI) in supermarkets and speciality stores in Christchurch and Wellington. The study questioned consumers about their consumption habits, attitudes towards organic food and production methods and presented choice modelling scenarios to test willingness to pay for different attributes of lamb. Factor analysis is used to group the 12 attitudinal questions into three factors which were then placed into a two step cluster analysis to create consumer segments. Choice modelling was then used to measure consumer preferences for the tested attributes of lamb. From the factor and cluster analysis three distinct consumer segments were found and labelled as Committed Organic Seekers, Convenience Organic Consumers and Incidental Organic Consumers. These labels reflect each group’s organic consumption habits and attitudes towards organic food. The choice modelling results show that there is a willingness to pay for organic lamb. The three identified consumer groups state they would pay a premium of 61%, 44% and 26% respectively for organic lamb over standard pasture raised lamb. This paper gives an insight into consumer attitudes and preferences towards a product that could provide a way for New Zealand farmers to increase their returns. It contributes to the body of knowledge about the likely consumer profiles of regular consumers of organic food. There are only a few other studies that have attempted to measure consumer attitudes and willingness to pay for organic meat, however, the author is not aware of any published example of a study that has specifically investigated demand for organic lamb anywhere in the world. The study provides information about stated willingness to pay for five different attributes of lamb; this information should be of value in assisting the industry by showing which product offerings are likely to generate the highest sale price.

This study investigates consumers’ preferences for organic baby meals. The growth of the U.S organic industry has been notable during the last two decades. The U.S. organic farmers do not produce enough quantity to meet the increasing U.S demand for organic food, and increasingly more organic foods are manufactured from organic ingredients produced outside the U.S. Tensions have emerged in the organic sectors as large-scale companies have seized opportunities to sell products differentiated with the organic label. The study aimed to estimate U.S. consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for selected attributes (type of brand, production attributes, and origin of ingredients) of baby meal products using a choice-based conjoint analysis. The organic offerings represent a nontrivial share of this market. In recent years, offerings under store brands have also been increasing. The study identified that consumers preferred a major national brand with a large market share such as Gerber (80%) to the other types of brands including store brands. In terms of product characteristics, pesticide free and non-GMO products were seen as consumers’ top priorities. Consumers would not buy products that did not exhibit these two characteristics. Minimally processed products seemed not to matter for the majority of consumers, and these products (sold frozen) were expected to be a niche market. Besides, a product made with U.S ingredients (organically or non-organically grown) was associated with a higher utility. Firms can run a cost-benefit analysis to see if sourcing U.S. ingredients could increase profit. Running experimental auctions are recommended to firms that want to elicit WTP for U.S grown ingredients and implement an efficient marketing strategy. This study is a preliminary analysis that highlighted consumers’ preferences in the baby food market, and future analysis would complement the findings.

The objectives of this research project were to (1) explore perceptions and experiences related to body dissatisfaction, aging, and the use of body work practices among baby boomer and older women; and (2) explore healthy eating attitudes and barriers, food choice influences, dieting behaviours, and food product usage/attitudes among these women. Fourteen focus groups with baby boomer and older women were conducted in urban and rural areas of Manitoba (n=137). Participants also completed a questionnaire and height and weight measurements. Body image, aging and food were intimately connected in women’s lives. Feelings about the body were closely connected to the experience of aging and perceptions of the body influenced food choices and attitudes. This thesis adds value to the existing literature by exploring the connections between aging, food, and the body, from the perspectives of baby boomer and older women.

Texto completoResumen
Den konventionella maten har stor påverkan på miljön, vilket har medfört att allt fler konsumenter väljer ekologisk mat. Detta är ett noggrant undersökt fält. Kunskap saknas dock om pensionärer väljer ekologiska matvaror. Föreliggande studies syfte har varit att undersöka svenska pensionärers konsumtion av ekologiska matvaror, något som undersökts genom metodtriangulering av enkäter och semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer. Resultatet tyder på att pensionärer konsumerar ekologisk mat av samma anledningar och hindras av samma orsaker som yngre konsumenter. Enda skillnaderna som uppvisats jämtemot yngre konsumenter är att pensionärers ekologiska konsumtion sker oberoende av könstillhörighet och familjestruktur.Conventional food has a major environmental impact, which has caused more and more consumers to choose organic food. This is a thoroughly researched field. However, there is insufficient knowledge regarding whether senior citizens choose to buy organic food or not. The aim of the present study has been to examine the consumption of organic food among senior Swedish citizens. The study was conducted through surveys and semi-structured qualitative interviews. The results suggest that senior consumers have the same motives as younger consumers. They are also hindered by the same reasons as their younger counterparts. The only difference between the two groups is that senior citizen´s gender and family structure influence their organic food consumption less.

Texto completoResumen
Le scepticisme du consommateur envers les entreprises va en augmentant. Cependant, les études sur les déterminants et les conséquences de ce phénomène sur les produits bio/vert font défaut. Afin de combler partiellement cette lacune, cette thèse porte sur le scepticisme vert en explorant et comparant des consommateurs issus de trois milieux culturels différents. Le premier essai vise à étudier la relation entre le scepticisme et le comportement d'achat des cosmétiques bio en se basant sur la théorie attitude-comportement-contexte (ABC). Le deuxième essai met en lumière l'effet psychologique du scepticisme sur le comportement de consommation verte. Le troisième essai aborde la question suivante : le scepticisme à l’égard des aliments biologiques pourrait-il expliquer en partie l'écart entre les nombreuses attitudes positives à l'égard des aliments biologiques exprimées par les consommateurs et leurs choix réels ? À partir des données collectées auprès des consommateurs en Tunisie, en Italie et en France, nous avons effectué une comparaison par pays, en adoptant l'approche de modélisation par équations structurelles. Les résultats ont révélé que le scepticisme vert est un puissant inhibiteur de l'adoption de produits bio et verts par les consommateurs dans les trois pays. Considérés ensemble, ces trois essais contribuent à la littérature en soulignant l'importance des déterminants psychologiques et inhibiteurs de la consommation de produits bio et vertsConsumer skepticism towards companies is on the rise. However, studies on the determinants and the consequences of this phenomenon on organic /green products are lacking. In order to partially fill this gap, this thesis focuses on green skepticism by exploring and comparing consumers from three different cultural backgrounds. The first essay investigated the relationship between, green skepticism and the purchasing behaviour of organic cosmetics, based on the attitude-behaviour- context (ABC) theory. The second essay aimed at providing a better understanding on the psychological effect of skepticism on green consumption behaviour. The third essay demonstrated whether organic food skepticism could partly explain the gap” or discrepancy between the great deal of positive attitudes towards organic food expressed by consumers and their actual choices. Based on data collected from consumers in Tunisia, Italy and France, we conducted a cross-country comparison adopting the structural equation modeling approach. Results revealed that green skepticism is strong inhibitor towards adoption of organic and green products among consumers in the three countries. Together, the three essays contribute to the literature by highlighting the importance of the psychological determinants and inhibitors of the adoption of organic and green products

Texto completoResumen
The purpose of this paper was to understand the factors affect on consumer behavior while buying organic and non-organic food. The author of this study aims to answer the research question: “What types of factor effect on consumer ́s behavior and decision-making process while buying organic and non-organic food?” The structure of this chapter based on these models “Factor effects on consumer behavior” and “the process of consumer ́s decision shaping” to understand consumer behavior, decision- making process, followed by the information about organic food and rules and regulation for organic selling. A combined qualitative and quantitative study used to answer the research question. The layout of the research was based on questionnaires and the interviews from the manager of five different supermarkets (ICA Maxi, Coop, Willys, Netto, Lidl). The sample size of the questionnaire was 393. Both models from the existing literature restructured according to the results. Location of the supermarkets, quality of the food, services, prices of the food, plays important role in terms of decisions making process. Motivation plays a trigger role for the consumer to buy or reject the product and the most important is knowledge. Knowledge helps the consumer to make a better decision.

Issues concerning consumer demands for genetically modified and organic food remain highly topical in Australia. It is unclear how consumers perceive issues associated with food production such as food safety, environmental impacts or animal welfare. It is also unclear how consumers might value potential changes in those issues. This paper reports on research using the choice modelling technique to estimate and compare consumer demand for genetically modified and organic foods and the contingent valuation method to estimate the value of taking a precautionary approach to the release of additional genetically modified organisms in Australian agriculture.
The choice modelling case study considers commodities including tomatoes, milk and beef produced from conventional, organic and genetically modified production systems. The results provide some indication of the contribution of associated factors with consumer choices, as well as exploring consumer values for higher food safety standards. The results are of relevance to the current policy debate regarding the introduction of genetically modified foods to Australia.
The contingent valuation method experiment provides an estimate of the consumer welfare obtained from the opportunity to delay a decision to introduce new genetically modified organisms into Australian farming systems. Such a moratorium would provide an opportunity for researchers to collect information regarding the long-term risks associated with the commercial release of new biotechnologies. The results are of relevance to government policy makers debating whether or not the benefits of a precautionary approach to the release of genetically modified organisms outweighs the opportunity costs of foregone development opportunities.

Texto completoResumen
This study aims to build a deeper understanding of how the consumer choices, attitudes, purchase intention and willingness to pay change in face of the pandemic. This research examines this phenomenon within the food industry, since it is one of the most impacted industries during the pandemic, with a singular focus on organic versus conventional food consumption and self-esteem as a moderator.
Results indicate that the COVID-19 context has increased mortality salience, the awareness that death is inevitable. Yet, mortality salience is not impactful on consumers' evaluations and choice of food, except for the purchase intention for conventional products that seem to decrease in the COVID-19 context for consumers with lower self-esteem coming from sustainable behaviours. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 context shows to lead to more positive attitudes towards the consumption of organic food for consumers who have sustainability behaviours as their source of self-esteem.
This study suggests that retailers can influence consumers positively in the COVID-19 context, by making these products easily available to attract consumers to buy organic food. Also, to take advantage of the positive attitudes by consumers towards this type of products that seem to emerge during the pandemic.
This study provides valuable insight into consumer behaviour regarding organic and conventional food by examining the factors that influence consumers’ purchase intentions, willingness to pay, attitudes and choices towards food during a pandemic.Este estudo tem como objetivo compreender mais profundamente como as escolhas, atitudes, intenção de compra e vontade de pagar dos consumidores mudam, face à pandemia. Esta pesquisa examina este fenómeno dentro da indústria alimentar, por ser uma das mais impactadas durante a pandemia, com um foco singular consumo de alimentos orgânicos versus convencionais, utilizando e autoestima como moderadora. Os resultados indicam que no contexto do COVID-19 houve um aumento da saliência da mortalidade, a consciência de que a morte é inevitável. Todavia a saliência da mortalidade não impactou as avaliações dos consumidores e a escolha dos alimentos, com exceção da intenção de compra de produtos convencionais que parece diminuir no contexto do COVID-19 para consumidores com menos autoestima proveniente de comportamentos sustentáveis. No entanto, o contexto do COVID-19 parece conduzir a atitudes mais positivas em relação aos alimentos orgânicos para pessoas que têm comportamentos de sustentabilidade como fonte de autoestima. Este estudo sugere que os revendedores podem influenciar os consumidores positivamente no contexto COVID-19, disponibilizando facilmente esses produtos para atrair consumidores para a compra de alimentos orgânicos e aproveitar as atitudes positivas que parecem emergir em relação a este tipo de productos durante a pandemia. Este estudo fornece informações valiosas sobre o comportamento do consumidor em relação aos alimentos orgânicos e convencionais, examina os fatores que influenciam a intenção de compra, a vontade te pagar, as atitudes e as escolhas de alimentos durante a pandemia.
