“…Although there are a number of studies on sustainable food labels and on the role of consumers' attitudes and credence in influencing purchasing choice, to the best of our knowledge, there are few studies [14] that jointly investigate the issue of consumers' attitudes for sustainable products by means of these two approaches. Moreover, the sustainability of food productions also involves territorial development strategies: certification labels may contribute to the local economy of territories, as occurs with labels concerning the geographical origin of food (we referred to Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) brands) [15,16]. For this purpose, the European Union introduced the "mountain product" quality label with EU regulations 665/2014 and EU 1151/2012 to foster the mountain economic systems sustainable development.…”

The shift towards more sustainable consumptions and habits have had tangible impacts on food markets, which have accepted this challenge by offering a variety of certification systems to pull consumers aside. However, food purchasing choices are also guided by ethical, environmental and cultural motivations, functioning as drivers of food acquiring. This study aimed at assessing the influence of consumers’ attitudes in purchasing an Alpine cheese labelled with a food sustainability logo, as the mountain product brand, following a two-step approach. We estimated the consumers’ preferences for some sustainable labels by using Choice Experiments (CE), followed by a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach to assess the influence of three attitudinal scales on the consumers’ behavior. The main results show the influence of green consumers’ values on the mountain product brand choice, and a strong relationship between green consumers’ and animal well-being values. In the conclusions, some policy indications are provided.

“…Recently, the focus is moving to the sustainability issues related to wine production [10,[22][23][24]. Prior studies detected consumers' preferences and willingness to pay for different sustainable wine attributes [1,25,26]. However, despite the growing consumer's interest for certified sustainable wines, the lack of consumers' awareness towards sustainability in the wine sector is noteworthy [27].…”

Consumers’ Preferences for Wine Attributes: A Best-Worst Scaling Analysis

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The current paper aims to explore consumers’ preferences for wine attributes related to tradition, sustainability, and innovation. A total of 419 regular wine consumers participated in an online survey that took place in Italy. Consumers’ preferences were assessed through a Best-Worst experiment with 11 wine attributes drawn from the literature. The result shows that the wine attributes, more important for consumers, are mainly related to tradition and sustainability. More specifically, the most important attributes for consumers when purchasing wine are “geographical indications”, “grape variety”, “sustainable certification”, “vintage”, and “price”. By contrast, the innovative wine attributes investigated were ranked among the least important ones, namely “canned wine”, “alcohol-free wine”, and “vegan wine”. The study findings offer several implications for wineries and marketers involved in the wine sector. They specifically provide suggestions on the wine attribute wineries should focus on to meet the current consumers’ preferences.

“…The second example comes from research in New Zealand on agri-food global value chains, including recent contributions by Trienekens et al (2017), Dalziel et al (2018), Saunders (2019), Tait et al (2019) and McIntyre et al (2019). This research is distinctive because among OECD countries, New Zealand is unusually distant from high-value markets in Europe, Asia and North America and also has an unusually high proportion of its merchandise exports devoted to agri-food products (72% in 2014 – Dalziel et al, 2018: 490).…”

The ‘Wellbeing Budget’ presented to the New Zealand Parliament in 2019 was widely described as a world-first. This article explores the possibility of a distinctive Australasian contribution to our understanding of wellbeing economics in public policy. The introduction section presents an analytical wellbeing framework showing how human actions draw on services provided by the country’s capital stocks to create and sustain personal and communal wellbeing. The second section chronicles some landmark policy initiatives in Australia and New Zealand for understanding and monitoring wellbeing, culminating in the Wellbeing Budget. The third section highlights four areas for further development: (1) the role of family wellbeing in intergenerational wellbeing, (2) the role of cultural capital in providing foundations for future wellbeing, (3) the role of Indigenous worldviews in enriching understandings of wellbeing and (4) the role of market enterprise in expanding capabilities for wellbeing. These are all areas where Australasian researchers have demonstrated expertise. JEL Codes: I31, I38, B54
