“…Outside of the realm of ETPB, the current study supported previous research on slow festival-goers' social change [50], as this study found festival-goers' slow life pursuits had a significant effect on slow food awareness. Also consistent with past research conducted in Han and Yoon and Han et al [66,67], the results demonstrated that slow food conscientiousness was the most important factor for explaining festival goers' attitudes toward the SLF.…”

“…Slow life seeking was operationalized with five items from [6,42]. Perception of slow food was estimated with five items derived from Frost and Laing, Jang et al, and Williams et al [48,50], while attachment was operationalized with five items modified from Filo et al and Filo et al [20,21]. Further, attitudes and norms were operationalized with four items adjusted from Ajzen and Ajzen [9,10] and Ajzen [65].…”

“…Accordingly, this study considers slow life seeking as an important variable in the SLF held in Namyangju, Korea. While other festivals related to slow food have been held in Malaysia [46,47], Italy, New Zealand [48], England [49], and Australia [50], it is believed the SLF in Korea was the first [6].…”

“…Slow lifestyle seeking has further been found to affect individuals' perceptions of slow food and to make them more likely to participate in food-related activities at tourism destinations [43]. From a slow food festival context, individuals attracted to slow lifestyle are more likely to implement slow food movements in achieving lasting social change [50], and it is assumed that slow life seeking leads to perception of slow food. Thus, this study posits: Hypothesis 3.…”

Wellness Pursuit and Slow Life Seeking Behaviors: Moderating Role of Festival Attachment

Slow lifestyles have become a way for individuals to reduce the amount of stress in their lives. Moreover, along with wellness and slow food, slow life seeking is emerging as an area of study, though little research has been studied at Slow Life Festivals (SLFs) associated with consumers’ wellness pursuits, slow life seeking, and perceptions of slow food. To address this gap, this study examined visitors’ decision-making processes using an extended theory of planned behavior (ETPB) by incorporating wellness pursuit, slow life seeking, and perceptions of slow food at an SLF. Thus, this study developed a theoretically comprehensive framework by applying field survey. Results revealed significant impacts of visitors’ wellness pursuits and slow life seeking on their decision-making, indicating that wellness and slow life were important factors to consider for SLF management. The research further identified the perception of slow food as a mediator in predicting behavioral intentions. Results further demonstrated a strong relationship between wellness pursuit and perception of slow food for highly attached visitors while revealing a significant relationship between slow life seeking and perception of slow food for less attached visitors. Consequently, this study shed significant light on our understanding of why visitors intend to revisit SLFs.

“…Proponents of food relocalisation ranging from global actors such as Slow Food to a wealth of national and local food activist movements and groups extol the contributions of AFNs to public health, environmental sustainability, social cohesion and fostering community (Lamine 2015, Williams et al 2015. Somewhat surprisingly, until recently, a widespread variant of AFNs -home gardening 1 (also referred to as household/domestic food production, growing your own or food self-provisioning [FSP]) -that could arguably be viewed as the most radical form of AFNs (due to its most profound reconnection and social embedding of food production and consumption) has largely escaped the attention of the alternative food movements, partly because of their predominant focus on market-based innovations (Lamine 2015, Williams et al 2015.…”

Reluctant pioneers in the European periphery? Environmental activism, food consumption and “growing your own”

East European food self-provisioning (FSP) has fascinated scholars of post-socialism ever since the early 1990s. In keeping with its predominantly economic and cultural conceptualisations, much of this research has been concerned with FSP's role in household economy and with the social profile of its practitioners. In contrast to western conceptualisations of FSP as an opportunity to expand food activism and foster social justice and environmental sustainability, post-socialist FSP has rarely been considered as such. In Czechia, FSP is practised by 43% of citizens and many of them do so in a relatively environmentally friendly way. Yet, most food-related campaigns run by environmental NGOs (ENGOs) pay little attention to FSP and focus on market-based ethical consumerism and alternative food networks instead. Using insights from actor-network theory, this paper discusses how Czech ENGO activists engage with FSP through discourse and in practice. Based on ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with leading activists, we show that FSP does figure in non-food-related campaigns and that the FSP practised by activists themselves or the FSP carried out by relatives and relatives' friends are not the same as the FSP on which they are reluctant to campaign. These differences, which include controllability and the time-consuming nature of practising FSP according to some of the activists' ideals, help this paper to come to an initial understanding of why Czech ENGOs do not run campaigns explicitly focused on FSP at the moment and shed some light on how this could change in the future.
