“…Nowadays, there are only a few CF labels that have continued in the marketplace. However, as mentioned by Peschel et al (2016) and Grebitus et al (2015), Eurobarometer survey's results have found 72% of EU citizens agreeing that CF information on products should be mandatory (European Commission 2009). More recently, about 90% of EU citizens have declared that buying environmentally friendly products can bring real benefits to the environment (European Commission 2012).…”

“…For example Peschel et al (2016) found that, while less knowledge might make one less likely to make an environmentally friendly choice, better knowledge might not make one significantly more likely to choose it either as people tend to balance between factors such as price and the environment. Kaiser and Fuhrer (2003) and Redman and Redman (2014) also found limited impact of objective or declarative knowledge alone and argued that it needed to converge with other domains of knowledge (procedural, social, and effectiveness) in order to affect behaviour.…”

“…Outside the food waste literature there have been a number of studies across environmental (Kaiser and Fuhrer 2003;Redman and Redman 2014;Peschel et al 2016), health (Wardle et al 2000;Worsley 2002;Grunert et al 2010) and food safety (Meysenburg et al 2014) fields that have shown that objective or declarative knowledge is a necessary but not sufficient condition for behaviour. For example Peschel et al (2016) found that, while less knowledge might make one less likely to make an environmentally friendly choice, better knowledge might not make one significantly more likely to choose it either as people tend to balance between factors such as price and the environment.…”

“…Several strategies are used to influence consumers’ food consumption behaviour, including policies, prices, and information (Niva, Vainio, & Jallinoja, 2017; Vainio, ). Regarding these strategies, information provision is considered vital as knowledge is necessary, although not a sufficient condition for making food choices (Peschel, Grebitus, Steiner, & Veeman, ; Vainio, ; Verbeke, ). According to Verbeke (), information assists consumers in deriving satisfaction from food products and knows the origin and environmental, ethical, and technological conditions under which these products are produced and processed.…”
