“…The educational level of consumers influences their beliefs about organic foods (Petrescu and Petrescu-Mag, 2015); they become consumers willing to incorporate new types of foods and acquire information that allow them to decide what to consume (Olsen and Bánáti, 2014;Kriwy and Mecking, 2012).…”

“…One consequence was the popularisation of buying habits focussed on food safety (Olsen and Bánáti, 2014) and the increase in demand for healthy food (Viana et al, 2014;Krom and Mol, 2010;Espeitx, 1996). This type of consumers value the natural aspects of food, the possibility of establishing a link with the producers and the consumption of local products (Zanoli et al, 2012;Krom and Mol, 2010;Aguilar, 2007).…”

VIZCARRA BORDI, IVONVE y THOME-ORTIZ, HUMBERTO (2017). The consumer of food products in organic markets of central Mexico.British Food Journal, 119 (3) 558-574. The consumer of food products in organic markets of central Mexico Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to identify the characteristics of consumers of organic food, based on their motivations. Design/methodology/approach -A questionnaire based on the Food Choice Questionnaire was applied to a 656 consumers. A multivariate factor analysis and cluster analysis was performed to the data. Findings -Seven factors were identified: ecological concern; nutritional content; availability of natural products; sensory aspects; certifications, health and confidence; and economic aspects. Resulting clusters were named as: conscious and interested in certification; conscious with no interest in certification; opportunist in transition; unconscious opportunist. There are signs of different consumers. The consumers of these products are characterised by an interaction between hedonic and ethical motivations, where the most important motivation is environmental concern and the least important are the economic aspects.Research limitations/implications -The reduced number of alternative markets in Mexico limits the amplitude of the research. Practical implications -The work herein reported is pioneer and contributes to reduce the lack of studies on the motivations and characteristics of consumers of organic foods in Mexico. Findings may set a path for new research in other cultural contexts; as well as for more specific work in Mexico as of consumers of industrialised organic products. Social implications -Characterising consumers of organic foods will enable the development of these markets. Originality/value -Social studies of eating habits have taken place in European countries; and several works have been developed in other areas of the world to determine the way in which consumers build their preferences and food choice patterns. In Mexico, specifically in organic foods, studies have focussed in agrarian economics, but the analysis of motivations for choice has not been addressed. Therefore, it is important to research this issue given the relevance for consumers.

“…Different studies have demonstrated that consumers with a high educational level attend this type of initiatives [45,80]. Some works have established a link between the higher educational level and the possibility of choosing alternative foods due to the information available [8,81].…”

“…More and more people are worried about the way in which their consumption and actions can affect the environment [6]. In this way, consumer groups have emerged with ethical values characterized by a concern about what they eat [7] and their constant search for green and healthy products with specific quality and authenticity features [8,9]. These reflections were the origin for the development of short food supply chains (SFSC) [10].…”

Alternative spaces for the consumption of non-conventional foods as short commercialization chains have been increased worldwide, as well as the interest in understanding the dynamics developed in those initiatives from a social approach, has increased. This work aimed to analyze the Organizers, Producers and Consumers’ perceptions that participate in short food supply chains in ecological markets in the south of Spain. The Conventions Theory framework was used by applying a quantitative and qualitative methodology. A total of 159 questionnaires were applied (three to Organizers, 15 to Producers and 177 to Consumers). The questionnaire considered items related to social conventions for seven worlds (Domestic, Civic, Market, Industrial, Opinion and Inspired) and sociodemographic information. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were used to analyze the information. Results show that coincidences and divergences are observed in the importance given to the worlds; the Civic, Inspired and Opinion worlds are perceived similarly by the three types of actors and are related to the interest in how these activities benefit the environment. Differences are attributed to the role played by each type of actor and to socioeconomic aspects. Results can materialize into different strategies to improve these initiatives and reach more consumers.

“…Ethics is not just a part of philosophy, it is also a regulator in our society which defines the limits of acceptance in various issues. It is often needed to take ethical decisions with relevance to food, and especially concerning safety [Pieternel, P. et al, 2006]. Food and ethics are intimately connected [Food Ethics Council, www.foodethicscouncli.org (15.05.2013) ].…”
