“…In addition, eliciting a broad overview of consumer views can be tricky. Interviewing consumers in workshops is a good tool to identify some of the most salient insights and can generate a broad range of opinions (Fischer & Reinders, 2022). This method relies on relatively few participants, which makes it less suitable to provide a broad overview given the differences in consumers that are often larger within than between countries.…”

“…A purposive expert sample is more commonly used, for example, when looking at farm-level and agri-business experts' perceptions of crop improvements (Stetkiewicz et al, 2022a(Stetkiewicz et al, , 2022b. Particularly when exploring and identifying the range of topics that matter, a purposive sample having access to the most relevant topics is often more informative than a representative sample across the population (Fischer & Reinders, 2022) which helped capitalise on the similarity of Europe but impose a limitation to the work that we could not focus on the differences between Europe. Nevertheless, the view of a purposive expert sample is not all-encompassing.…”

The global demand for providing nutritious, sustainable, and safe diets for a 10 billion population by 2050 while preserving affordability, reducing environmental impacts, and adapting to climate change will require accelerating the transition to sustainable agri‐food systems. A plausible way to help tackle these challenges is by developing new plant varieties that have improved crop yield, plant nutritional quality, and sustainability (or resilience) traits. However, stakeholders, consumers, and citizens' concerns and appreciation of future‐proofing crops and the acceptability of new plant breeding strategies are not well‐established. These groups are actors in the agri‐food systems, and their views, values, needs, and expectations are crucial in helping to co‐design fair, ethical, acceptable, sustainable, and socially desirable policies on new plant breeding techniques (NPBTs) and the transition to sustainable agri‐food systems. In this study, we engaged with consumer experts and societal stakeholders to consider their perceptions, expectations, and acceptability of improving crops and NPBTs for future‐proofing the agri‐food systems. Our analysis points to a need for governments to take a proactive role in regulating NPBTs, ensure openness and transparency in breeding new crop varieties, and inform consumers about the effects of these breeding programmes and the risks and benefits of the new crop varieties developed. Consumer experts and societal stakeholders considered these strategies necessary to instil confidence in society about NPBTs and accelerate the transition to sustainable agri‐food systems.

“…On the other hand, the effects of different types of consumer knowledge on other outcome variables, or determinants of behaviour, have also been widely examined in the literature, as knowledge has been considered to be the basis on which consumers' beliefs, attitudes, values and thoughts are formed (Fazio, 2007;Fishbein, 1963;Fischer and Reinders, 2022;Gil and Soler, 2006;Solomon et al, 2010;Zhang and Liu, 2015). Thus, consumer knowledge has been associated with higher loyalty (Chiou et al, 2002;Espejel et al, 2009;Wirtz and Mattila, 2003), higher satisfaction (Chiou et al, 2002;Espejel et al, 2009;Fu et al, 2020;Gupta et al, 2021;Lafarga et al, 2021;Lin et al, 2018), positive attitudes and higher willingness to buy/ pay more (Aksoy and Ozsonmez, 2019;Arvanitoyannis and Krystallis, 2005;Bui et al, 2021;Chen et al, 2013;Connor and Siegrist, 2010;Cordell, 1997;Klerck and Sweeney, 2007;Oh and Abraham, 2016;Piha et al, 2018;Rao and Sieben, 1992;Zhang and Liu, 2015), higher perceived quality (Cordell, 1997;Rao and Monroe, 1988), greater trust (Aksoy and Ozsonmez, 2019;Daugbjerg et al, 2014;Hall et al, 2007) and purchase intentions (Bamber et al, 2011;Bui et al, 2021;Chiou, 1998;Ercis and Celik, 2018;Grymshi et al, 2022;…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to critically review consumer knowledge in marketing and propose a future research agenda. Despite the many works that have examined this variable, given its strong influence on behaviour, it has generally been studied in association with other constructs, and no studies have focused on it in a specific way. Its definition, measurement and approaches to its role and usefulness are superficial and underdeveloped. After structuring and analysing the existing literature, the authors establish, (I) which aspects are of little use to the discipline, and (II) which research lines have the most potential and should be developed and studied in greater depth, to advance and complete the existing consumer knowledge framework. Design/methodology/approach A search was undertaken for documents in the main databases in which the term “consumer knowledge” appears in a marketing or consumer context, and a critical and reflexive approach was taken to analyse the main contributions and to structure them by content blocks. Findings Five main content blocks were identified. A set of research gaps were detected, mainly related to the lax conceptualisation of the topic, measurement problems and the scarcity of more useful works connected with business management, and several research lines are proposed that complement the existing framework to make it more complete and operational. Originality/value This paper offers a critical review and proposes a research agenda for one of the most used but little studied variables in the field of marketing, which may help academics and professionals in the discipline to continue developing useful theories and models.

“…Such negative perceptions can affect consumers' responses by decreasing acceptability, and without consumer acceptability, the use of PCR packaging cannot be implemented, impeding the associated environmental benefits. As noted by Fischer and Reinders [12], the meaning of 'consumer acceptability' may vary across different disciplines. Acceptability can be defined as "a favorable opinion" about a product or emerging technology in risk analysis [12][13][14].…”

This study investigates consumers’ acceptance and perceptions of post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic packaging with an off-odor, and the effect of a sustainability claim thereupon. We utilized a mixed design to examine the influence of the percentage of PCR, packaging color, and the presence of a sustainability claim on consumer perceptions. Participants were presented with vignettes describing a scenario involving the purchase of shampoo bottles with or without a sustainability claim and asked to smell and rate the odor qualities of the bottles, as well as their acceptability and willingness to buy. The study found a main effect of the percentage of PCR and color on acceptability and willingness to buy and a main effect of the percentage of PCR on the perceived odor properties. However, the presence of a sustainability claim did not significantly affect consumer perceptions. The findings provide valuable insights for stakeholders in the sustainable production and consumption sector and offer recommendations for future research to further explore the impact of sustainability claims in shaping consumer acceptance of sustainable packaging with suboptimal sensory properties.
