“…Data show that a great proportion of Spanish population links health and sustainability. Research has demonstrated the health consciousness influences on purchasing habits [ 91 , 92 ]. Health consciousness can result in a deeper interest in knowing the characteristics of a sustainable diet, as well as linking sustainability to health can improve the shift to a more environmentally friendly food purchasing.…”

Moving towards sustainable food systems and food consumption are proposed as strategies to reduce environmental impact. However, these strategies require joint action between different stakeholders, including the general population’s knowledge and perception, as final consumers. To assess the knowledge and awareness on food sustainability and environmental impact concepts in a representative sample of Spanish adult population, we conducted a cross-sectional, nationally representative telephone survey. After random selection, 2052 respondents aged ≥18 years (57% woman and 43% men) participated. A questionnaire was specifically designed for the research. Participants showed a good attitude towards sustainable diets, which were described as healthy by 40% of the population. Most of the responders (>70%), did not well understand ecological and carbon footprints, and green and blue water concepts. Men declared a higher understanding of sustainability concepts, as compared to women. More than 50% of the population misunderstood the impact of meat and derivatives production on sustainability, and 70% perceived the same for fish and dairy products. Women were more prone to pay more money to afford a sustainable diet than men were. In conclusion, although consumers show a positive attitude towards sustainability, important misconceptions remain, and thus require intervention through education, information, and motivation.

“…Another gap in the literature for consumer preference of online fresh food shopping is that most existing studies are based on stated preference using survey data [16,17], or using home scan data [9] without any store attributes. Further, there exist many studies on consumers' willingness-to-pay (WTP) for food attribute labels that are of healthy food, food-safety and eco-relevance such as green food and organic food certificates [18][19][20][21][22][23]. However, their survey-based methods in eliciting these WTPs may have hypothetical bias, a severe disadvantage over revealed preference using actual sales data [24,25].…”

Background The online market is getting popular today, and consumers’ preferences about products are revealed differently in online and offline markets. Especially, fresh food purchasing online is very different from non-food products due to its unique features such as perishability, low cost and frequent purchases, low value-volume ratio, and highly relevance to safety and health. However, studies on online fresh food are rather few, and this study will fill the gap by investigating consumers’ preferences for fresh food online purchasing. Methods Using unique data observed from online stores, we conduct a hedonic analysis of fresh produce online market using apple market in China, avoiding hypothetical bias. Propensity Score Matching is used to check the online promotion effects. The data are apples transactions from Jingdong JD e-commerce platform with sample size 8,200, observed across six weeks from 11/26/2018 to 12/31/2018. Variables used include prices, promotions, varieties, places of origin, fruit size, labeled as organic or green food, watercore label, and customer reviews for the products as well as for the venders. Results We found place of origin, food safety and eco-certificates, and sensory features all influence apple prices which reflect consumer preferences. In addition to product features, store features such as former customers’ review for the store, a video post of the product, and other latent product features through former customers’ review for the product quality also influence consumers’ preference reflected by price. Conclusions In additional to product intrinsic features, consumer show preferences and valuation for online market special features.

“…In the food choice variable, the selfconsciousness and emotional intelligence were positively related to food choice and toward the value of healthy food due to the preference in choosing healthy food (Hanspal & Devasagayam, 2017). However, the life stage was not related to food choice and toward value for healthy food because of the sociodemographic characteristic diff erences (Konttinen et al, 2021), life transitions (Winpenny et al, 2018), and external impact (Chen & Antonelli, 2020).…”

Adults and middle-aged food consumers are the most at risk of type 2 diabetes, and these consumers are varied across demographics. While few and fragmented studies are associated with psychological determinants and healthy food value through food choices. Few consumer roles are involved in research for business success. The psychological determinants toward the value of healthy food for type 2 diabetes consumers used consumer behavior and psychological theories of consumer choices. An associative method with purposive sampling was conducted from 165 adults and middle-aged consumers with type 2 diabetes using Structural Equation Modeling/SEM. The finding showed that the belief, attitude, and mood affected the value of healthy food through food choice, but not psychological distress. The attitude had the greatest effect on food choice and toward the value of healthy food, and the causal of the highest result effect of life experiences. The belief was directly affected food choice and value, and the causal for the highest effect of self-consciousness and health maintenance. The mood negatively affected both food choice and value of healthy food mood and the causal for the smallest effect of health maintenance. The food choice affected the values of healthy food. Life experience was the most direct and indirect effect of food choice and self-consciousness was the most direct effect of the value of healthy food. Some highlights of this study were (i)market segmentation and segmentation variable; (ii)social marketing; (iii)mass media campaign by considering attitude, belief, and mood; and (iv)human capital management strategy with targeted audiences.
