| “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... |

| Policies encouraging consumers to follow nutritional dietary guidelines are widely used by governments as a strategy to improve public health. Organic consumers seem to adhere to nutritional guidelines more than others, but it remains obscure why, exactly, there is a correlation between eating healthily and organic consumption. Based on six focus groups, 1519 survey respondents, and purchase data from 2449 households (all data collected in Denmark), we found that not only dedicated but also occasional organic consumers eat more fruit and vegetables and less meat than consumers with no or little organic consumption. We also found that earlier findings on product-level consumption carried over to a meal context, where organic consumers were more likely to... |

| 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... |
