“…The application of affordable methods and biological resources instead of chemical fertilizers and pesticides make organic farming cost-effective, and the increased price of organic products and consequently increased profits from their sale further encourage farmers to adopt organic farming [21,22]. There are also a large number of postharvest opportunities to improve the added value of organic products through marketing activities and processing, leading to the further improvement of food security in the long term [23,24].…”

2021

Extension services (ES) play a crucial role in addressing the various needs of organic farmers and little is known about the extension agents’ (EA’s) perceptions of organic agriculture and the role of ES in organic agriculture. This study investigated EA’s perceptions of the role of ES in organic agriculture. Data were collected via a questionnaire, which was sent electronically to all enlisted extension agents in Riyadh Region, Saudi Arabia. In total, 69 extension agents completed the questionnaire, representing a 54% response rate. Overall, extension agents had slightly positive attitudes toward organic farming but were unsure about their role and participation in this. Furthermore, their perceptions of the role of ES in organic agriculture significantly varied according to their age, work experience in organic agriculture, and education level. These findings have implications for the design of future training programs for the professional development of extension agents and will enable planners, policy makers, and related ministries to devise viable and workable policies and plans that truly reflect the concerns and challenges of extension agents and consider the skills of extension agents that need to be improved. This research will also have positive implications for the national organic agriculture policy, as it provides research-based information on the actual players in the farming systems of Saudi Arabia.

“…Consequently, consumers become more eager to purchase organic products, which are more beneficial to human health and the environment (Ghvanidze et al, 2016;Hsu & Chen, 2014). Mutiara and Satoshi (2017) defined the purchase intention of organic food as readiness of an individual to implement green buying behaviour that effects less harm or pollution to the environment. Consumers purchase intention towards organic products will increase when people are more sensitive to health and organic consumption, (King et al, 2017).…”

Organic food is natural food items restricted from artificial chemicals such as fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, antibiotics, and genetically modified organisms. Thus, organic food is considered healthy food as synthetic chemicals are prohibited in its production. Organic food has become more common and in greater demand among consumers due to improved awareness of eating healthily. This study aims to identify the determinants that may influence customers' purchase intention of organic food, such as knowledge, safety, health consciousness, environment, price, and availability of the organic food. Moreover, this study discovers the dominant factor that may affect the organic food purchase intention. The participants of this study are the medical employees of

“…Organic food is natural food produced using environmentally safe methods without chemicals, pesticides, or other genetically modified organisms [2]. Methods used in organic food production often called organic farming, rely on ecological processes condition, resulting in healthy side effects for the consumer rather than nonorganic ones [3]. Initially, the purchasing of organic food was carried out of awareness and desire to have a healthy lifestyle as well as a way to minimize the use of chemicals in food [4].…”

Organic food is grown and produced organically without any use of chemicals such as pesticides, fertilizers, or any other modified organism. Due to the COVID-19, there was a significant change in consumer behaviour including organic food consumption that automatically increased the sales. This study aims to identify the effects of consumer involvement, price sensitivity, and sensory appeal of organic food purchase intention during the COVID-19 pandemic. Structural equation modeling with Partial Least Square (PLS) was used to analyze the research models proposed in the study. This study used explanatory research to test the model with 240 respondents surveyed with criteria of the respondents that have purchased organic food during the pandemic. The result show consumer involvement and sensory appeal have a significant positive effect on consumer intention to purchase organic food. While lifestyle, an additional variable, does not moderate the relationships for the model used in this study.
