| “Local” is becoming increasingly important in consumers’ food purchase decisions. Perceived benefits of local foods are rather similar to those of organic products, including aspects of taste, food safety, animal welfare and reduced environmental impacts. Yet, only limited knowledge is available regarding different consumers’ conceptualization of local food. Our study addresses this research gap by investigating organic versus non-organic consumers’ perceptions of local foods and these perceptions’ association with purchasing behaviour. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining eight focus group interviews (52 participants in total) with a representative survey of 1515 Danish consumers. Focus group interviews revealed that Danish consumers mainly... |

| In order to sustain consumers’ support and trust in organics in the future, it is essential to understand what motivates consumers to pay extra for organic products. Only then is it possible to design effective information campaigns and to supply products which successfully meet consumers’ expectations. The purpose of this study is to elicit the relative importance that consumers place on various organic attributes and to estimate the monetary significance of these. As an integrated part of the study, consumers’ susceptibility to new information and the effect of information on the willingness to pay (WTP) for different attributes are investigated. These objectives are realised through Choice Experiments (CE). |

| This study investigates the relationship between how consumers prefer to group different varieties of organic and conventional products and their preferences for organic food. Using a web-based questionnaire, 849 Danish respondents were asked to group the content of a virtual basket of organic and non-organic fruit and vegetables into two smaller baskets. Almost half of the consumers placed the products according to whether they were organic or not. These consumers were found to have a significantly higher confidence in the benefits of organic products and stated a significantly higher organic consumption than consumers who placed fruit in one basket and vegetables in the other. Differences in preferences for organic food between the two categories of... |

| Får økologiske forbrugere oftere 6 om dagen? Ja! Analysen af nye forbrugsdata fra GfK ConsumerScan indikerer, at husholdninger med et højt økologiforbrug spiser relativt meget frugt og grønt, men lidt kød. Selvom der ofte betales en merpris for økologiske varianter, viser undersøgelsen samtidig, at den økologiske forbruger ikke bruger flere penge på mad end andre. For alle forbrugergrupper står supermarkederne for det største salg af økologiske varer, men derudover adskiller den økologiske forbruger sig ved at købe flere varer over internettet og i specialbutikker. Husholdninger med høje økologiforbrug er typisk små – oftest kvinder – har høje uddannelser og er bosiddende i København. Samtidig er den økologiske forbruger en omskiftelig person, som sagtens... |

| MultiTrust projektet har til formål at udvikle metoder til vurdering og kommunikation vedrørende de effekter som økologiske fødevaresystemer har på miljø, menneske og samfund. Hensigten hermed er dels at gøre de økologiske producenter bedre i stand til at udvikle økologien i overensstemmelse med de økologiske principper og i synergi med samfundets målsætninger, dels at gøre det lettere for forbrugere, borgere og politikere at sætte sig ind i og bedømme de forskelligartede bidrag som økologiske fødevaresystemer tilbyder. Det forventes at sådanne redskaber til multikriteriel vurdering og kommunikation kan understøtte en integreret og troværdig udvikling af økologisk jordbrug, og dermed underbygge økologiens langsigtede vækst. Projektet har formuleret tre... |

| Efforts to promote communication, learning, decision making and change of individual and/or collective practices in relation to sustainability issues require more or less explicit theories on agents and what motivate them to act. The aim of this paper is to open for an interdisciplinary discussion on how different approaches to motivation make sense or not when focusing on how to develop tools aiming at supporting communica¬tion, learning and decision-making related to organic food systems. We present four quite different approaches to motivation – an economic, an approach challenging conventional understandings of motivational change, a psychosocial, and a relational – and open for a discussion on how these approaches relate to each other and whether it... |

| Recent research results indicate that organic consumers have a healthier diet than other consumers. This suggests that there might be a positive relationship between organic consumption and a healthy lifestyle. One aim of an ongoing research project is to analyse whether consumers with a high organic consumption have a higher interest in nutrition and a healthy living than other consumers. In order to test whether such a causal relationship exists, purchase data from Danish households are combined with information on these households’ perception of organic food and their health concerns. |

| Food quality attributes such as food safety and animal welfare are increasingly influencing consumers’ choices of food products. These attributes are not readily traded in the markets. Hence, stated pref-erence methods have proven to be valuable tools for eliciting preferences for such non-traded attributes. A discrete choice experiment is employed, and the re-sults indicate that consumers in general are willing to pay a premium for campylobacter-free chicken and for improved animal welfare; and they are willing to pay an additional premium for a product containing both attributes. Further, we find that organic consumers have a higher willingness to pay for animal welfare than other consumers, but they are not willing to pay more than conventional... |

| Health and cost considerations have repeatedly been found to constitute the main arguments for respectively buying and not buying organic food. The present paper contributes to this line of research by studying not only the dietary but also the budgetary consequences of choosing the organic varieties. Using purchase data for a large sample of Danish households, we found that households with higher organic consumption have healthier diets as measured in terms of more vegetables and fruits but less fat/confectionary and meat. Furthermore, for the vast majority of households it was found that buying organic foods did not increase food expenditures - possibly due to differences in diet composition. The key to these findings lies in the adoption of a holistic... |

| Purpose: A number of previous studies have analyzed the interface between consumer preferences for organic and local food. While organic food is based on well-defined production criteria, local food is less well defined and is often used to describe a variety of food characteristics. This study investigates Danish consumers’ preferences and trade-offs for organic production and multiple commonly mentioned, dimensions of local food: sales channel, size of company, and geographic location of animals used in the production focusing on differences between consumer segments. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis is based on a quantitative survey among 505 consumers and includes a choice experiment concerning preferences for beef salami. Data from the... |

| The complexity of values related to organic food systems is normally difficult to ascertain, understand and act upon for both producers and consumers, as well as for other agents. In this paper we have suggested MCA as a method that may help in coping with this complexity. Furthermore, we have pointed to the importance of addressing the challenge of motivation when designing such an MCA tool. In doing so, we have applied three very different concepts of motivation – an economic, a psycho-social and a relational concept. While they represent fundamentally different perspectives, by incorporating all three within a multi-perspective approach, we have been able to explore ’a broader array of relevant aspects of motivation when designing a MCA tool to be used... |

| I Danmark ses i øjeblikket et boom i efterspørgslen efter økologiske fødevarer, der bringer den op på det højeste niveau hidtil. Der kan være mange årsager til denne stigning – eksempelvis menes generelle indkomstløft at være en væsentlig faktor. Igangværende forskning viser desuden, at forbrugerne køber økologiske varer, fordi de forbinder økologi med en lang række positive egenskaber som ren natur, dyrevelfærd, troværdighed, friskhed, kvalitet og sundhed. Men er der også sammenhæng mellem forbrug af økologiske varer og en ernæringsrigtig kost? Der foreligger ikke entydige forskningsresultater, der bekræfter, at økologiske varianter af den samme vare er et sundere valg. Eksempelvis er risikoen for pesticid- eller medicinrester minimal, mens risikoen... |

| The present study investigates the relationships between consumer categorization of organic versus non-organic food products, consumers' underlying perceptions of organic food, and their propensity to consume organic foods. A choice experiment is used to test these relations in a case study involving consumer preferences for attributes relating to milk. First and foremost, we find a strong link between how consumers categorize food and their organic profile. Second, we find that knowledge concerning a claim stating that milk from grazing cows is healthier, serves as a way to categorize consumers according to their organic profile. Third, our study supports earlier findings which indicate that socio-demographic factors, such as living in a big city and... |

| Trust and knowledge are two concepts that are considered important for understanding consumers’ engagement with organic products, but the concepts are often used at random. This article explores the configuration and generation of consumer trust in organics and investigates the relationship between knowledge and trust. The article is based on a multi-method study of Danish consumers’ perceptions of organics that included a consumer survey, a focus group, and individual interviews. The inquiry documents that Danish consumers’ display a high degree of trust in organics, and have overly positive expectations regarding organics, but know little about the difference between organic and non-organic products. Many respondents express no interest in acquiring... |
