“…These results are consistent with previous studies on sustainable organic food (Cheah & Aigbogun, 2022;Curvelo et al, 2019b;Gundala et al, 2022;S. Han & Lee, 2022;Lamonaca et al, 2022;Paul & Rana, 2012). Hypothesis testing results also indicate that perceived value positively influences purchase intention on sustainable organic food context, high levels of consumers' perceived value increased intention to purchase organic foods.…”

This study found that direct familiarity with a product (knowing the product exists) has a positive effect on purchase intention.…”

Population growth and improved global incomes have driven a significant increase in the production and consumption of food. Food consumption is known to have significant impacts on public health, individualities, and the environment and most importantly, food consumption is linked to environmental challenges like heightened pollution, scarcity of water, and CO2 emissions always been faced with grave environmental concerns and a massive surge in food intake assumes great significance. Consumers have a responsibility to protect the environment by choosing environmentally friendly products similar to organic food. This study modifies the TPB to model the consumer behavioural intention for organic food, using environmental concern, perceived value, and consumer familiarity as determinants. In the following, we explain how these well-established concepts are related to the three original constructs of the Theory of Planned Behaviour. The results of this study show that environmental concern, consumer perceived value of the product, and consumer familiarity (direct experience) with the product have a positive and significant effect on consumer behavioural intention for sustainable organic foods. In particular, this study finds that consumer environmental concern is the strongest predictor of purchase intention. This suggests that, in a sustainable organic food context, high levels of consumers' environmental concern increased their intention to purchase organic foods. Therefore, if a consumer is more concerned about environmental issues, the consumer will show a stronger intention to purchase sustainable organic food compared to consumers with lower environmental concerns.

Summary The present study aimed to explore the preferences for lemon consumption, as well as the different reactions that consumers show regarding basic needs, emotions, and attitudes. A survey created with Google tools was distributed through social networks. A total of 522 responses were collected, 43% from males and 57% from females. The results showed that ‘juiciness’ was the most valued attribute (90%), followed by ‘green’ (58%), ‘seedless’ (44%), and ‘large’ (43%). The ‘fresh lemon’ form was the most preferred for lemon consumption (96%), followed by ‘lemon juice’ (39%). Lemon consumption was linked to physiological and safety needs; significant correlations (P < 0.05) were observed with age, occupation, and frequency of consumption. People over 40 years of age expressed complete agreement that lemon consumption satisfied their food needs. The attitudes shown about lemon consumption depended on sex and age. Females showed a more positive attitude than males towards the importance of lemon consumption, better facing different situations and considering the great benefits of the fruit. Similar behaviour was observed among those older than 40 years, who highlighted the benefits of the fruit. The main emotional traits that were manifested in lemon consumption were feeling good, satisfied, active, happy, and of good character.

“…As for the factors (or dimensions) that generate a change in the attitude of consumers of organic products, we have: a. Concern for consumption of food that is not harmful to health (Baudry et al, 2021;Hansen et al, 2018;Hughner et al, 2007;Lamonaca et al, 2022;Mohamad et al, 2014;Stolz et al, 2011). b.…”

The main objective of this research was to determine the relationship between the acknowledgement of the consumer's attitude towards organic products and the selection criteria for sales personnel at the largest bio-fair in Lima, Peru. A quantitative approach, with an applied type, a correlational level, a non-experimental, and a cross-sectional design was used in the research technique. In this context, the population consisted of 78 organic product sales managers. The survey technique was applied, and the author's questionnaires were used as an instrument, yielding good findings in terms of validity, reliability, and confirmatory factor analysis. A multiple correlation matrix with Spearman's rho statistic was constructed and interpreted. The results obtained showed a moderate positive relationship between consumer attitude acknowledgement of organic products is and sales personnel selection criteria (p. = 0.000; r = 0.568), giving validity to the general hypothesis. Similarly, bilateral asymptotic significance values of less than 0.001 allowed the acceptance of the specific hypotheses proposed by the researchers.
