“…For instance, Latacz-Lohmann and Schreiner (2019) report positive estimates for consumers' WTP relating to more space per animal, more bedding and manipulative material and shorter transportation time, while Sonoda et al (2018) found that almost 90% of consumers (n = 846) were interested in, and willing to pay extra for, beef with an animal welfare label. Denver et al (2022) found Danish consumers were willing to pay a premium, albeit modest, for pork produced according to more stringent animal welfare requirements. Similarly, experimental auctions conducted in Spain (n = 70) revealed that consumers are willing to pay a premium for an EU animal welfare label for cured ham (Gracia et al, 2011).…”

“…Thus, animal welfare requirements vary across labels with some more stringent than others (RSPCA, 2017). As the vast majority of people assign an intrinsic value to animals and their welfare (Frey and Pirscher, 2018), believe in protecting the welfare of farmed animals (European Commission, 2021), welcome animal welfare labelling (Sonoda et al, 2018) and more stringent requirements for farm animal welfare (European Commission, 2021), and state that they are willing to pay for improved animal welfare (Denver et al, 2022;European Commission, 2021;Latacz-Lohmann and Schreiner, 2019), we expect that:…”

“…Notably, public concern over animal welfare may sometimes trump environmental concerns. For instance, consumers in various high-income countries are more likely to support price premiums on meat for animal welfare concerns, rather than sustainability concerns (Denver et al, 2023;Perino and Schwickert, 2023). However, food and agriculture policies overall still do not yet reflect the multiple interconnections among humans, animals, and the environment.…”

Animal agriculture contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions—an estimated 12%-20% of total anthropogenic emissions. This has led both governmental and private actors to propose various ways to mitigate those climate impacts. This paper applies a One Health lens to the issue, arguing that the choice of solutions should not only consider the potential to reduce GHG emissions—which is not always a given—but also the implications for public health and animal welfare. With this perspective, we examine the potential public health and animal welfare impacts of three types of strategies that are often proposed: (1) “sustainable intensification” methods, aimed at maintaining or increasing production while limiting emissions and avoiding further land conversion; (2) “species shift” approaches, which focus on changing diets to consume meat from animals produced with lower GHG emissions instead of that of animals associated with higher emissions; and (3) “systemic dietary change” approaches that promote shifts towards whole plant-based foods or novel alternatives to conventional animal products. We discuss how some approaches—particularly those associated with sustainable intensification and species shift—could introduce new and significant risks to public health and animal welfare. Promoting systemic dietary change helps to overcome some of these challenges, but requires careful attention to equity to ensure that vulnerable populations still have access to the nutrients they need. We end with recommendations for a more holistic approach to reducing emissions from farmed animals that can help avoid trade-offs and increase synergies with other societal goals.

“…That might be due to the fact that the bulk of these studies are carried out in developed countries, where consumers assume that the product complies with the guarantees of minimum hygiene-sanitary conditions, and consequently the availability of this information is not relevant for consumers and does not affect purchase intention. For the second approach, regarding the welfare of pigs, the main interest lies in labelling and its acceptance by consumers, which is positive but limited to the information given [17,18]. Moreover, such positive effects only take place if the price difference between products is narrow [19].…”

Knowing the behaviour of consumers is essential for all types of companies, including meat companies. For this purpose, academia is an ally of industry, and analysing scientific production seems crucial for conducting future research. Therefore, this study aimed to carry out an exhaustive review of the literature, relying on both descriptive and bibliometric analyses, the latter being through the application of clustering techniques by simple centres. The main results and conclusions are as follows: (1) consumer perceptions, behaviours and attitudes towards food are the main focus of research in this area; (2) the ingredients and additives of meat products are the main concerns in the industry regarding such products; (3) sausages are the dominant meat product; (4) and pork, as well as other types of meat, fall under the generic umbrella term meat. Furthermore, there is a lack of studies considering age, sex and income cohorts. Such lack might have led to finding consumer behaviour and the welfare of animals not significant despite the presupposed positive correlation. The main limitations for researchers are around the availability of budgets and the existence of trade secrets.
