“…More recently, Graça et al, (2015) found that positive attitude towards meat decreased intentions to reduce meat consumption, while a perception of behavioural control concerning changing meat consumption increased intentions to reduce meat consumption. The finding that affective attitude was more predictive than instrumental attitude was consistent with various studies, which found that the first was more effective in predicting various health behaviours (e.g., Conner, Godin, Sheeran, & Germain, 2013;Conner et al, 2015), and with evidence that meat consumption is related more strongly with affective attitude than a cognitive attitude (Aikman, Crites, & Fabrigar, 2006;Berndsen & Van der Pligt, 2004). The finding that subjective norm was not a significant predictor of intention is in accordance with previous studies, which found that subjective norm has a low or nonsignificant relationship to healthy eating (Blanchard et al, 2009;Louis, Chan, & Greenbaum, 2009) and particularly to a vegetarian diet (Povey et al, 2001), to the intention of substituting meat with a more plant-based diet (Graça, et al, 2015) or of reducing meat consumption (Zur & Klöckner, 2014;Zur, 2012).…”

“…Allen and Baines (2002) reported a manipulation of the symbolic meaning of meat to increase intention to eat more fruit and vegetables and their consumption 3 weeks later. Berndsen and van der Pligt (2004) manipulated the relative impact of a cognitive versus affective focus when judging risks concerning the consumption of meat. They found that after 3 weeks, only participants in the affective condition compared with the control condition reported higher intentions to reduce meat intake and less consumption of meat over the past 3 weeks.…”

Rationale: The present studies aimed to contribute to the literature on psychological variables involved in reducing red meat consumption (RMC).Objective: Study 1 investigated whether the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), plus healthy-eating and meat-eating identities, could explain intentions to reduce RMC. Study 2 evaluated the effectiveness of an SMS intervention on self-monitoring to reduce RMC.Methods: In Study 1, data were collected daily using online food diaries for one week and a TPB questionnaire. Study 2 was a randomised controlled trial assessing pre and post RMC and TPB constructs by online food diaries and questionnaires over a one-week period. Participants were Italian undergraduates in each study (Study 1: N = 405; Study 2: N = 244). In Study 2, participants were randomly allocated to control and message condition groups. Participants in the message condition group received a daily SMS, which reminded them to monitor RMC, while participants in the control group did not receive any message. Only students who completed all measures were considered in the analyses (Study 1: N = 342; Study 2: N = 228).Results: Study 1 showed that affective and instrumental attitudes, perceived behavioural control and meat-eating identity explained intentions to reduce RMC, while subjective norm, past behaviour and healthy-eating identity did not. Study 2 showed that an SMS intervention was effective in increasing intentions and reducing RMC. Mediation analyses indicated partial serial mediation through healthy-eating and meat-eating identities and intentions.Conclusion: The present studies provide support for the predictive validity of TPB in explaining intentions to reduce RMC and for the efficacy of an SMS intervention targeting self-monitoring in reducing RMC. Findings confirmed the important role of eating identities in explaining intentions to reduce RMC and in changing this behaviour.

“…Other factors especially the cultural aspects among some of the urban and rural households were observed to contribute to the acceptance of these products and in particular the consumption of pork. This supports other findings where variations in the culture and beliefs including health factors were identified to be some of the reasons contributing to consumption or avoidance of meat products [44,45]. Pork in particular is hardly consumed in the households as part of their daily diet in Kenya [29], except by a small group of high-income households [27].…”

This study intends to estimate the demand for indigenous chicken meat in Kenya, including other available meat products for comparison purposes. Data used was collected from six counties. A total 930 rural and urban households were sampled. Linear Approximated Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS) model was used to obtain the demand elasticities and to examine the socioeconomic and demographic factors influencing the meat budget shares. The results ascertain that the socio-demographic factors such as household location, the proportion of household members and the family size are important factors in explaining perceived variations in the consumption of meat products. Indigenous chicken meat, beef and mutton, were identified as necessities. Indigenous chicken meat and beef were identified as substitutes while indigenous chicken, goat and exotic chicken meats were complements. In view of the high expenditure elasticities, therefore, considering a policy option that would enhance consumer income is desirable, since it will result in high consumption thereby providing more incentives for production of meat products. The information generated would be more beneficial to the interest groups in the livestock sector as a whole. This would be utilised in the formulation of effective policies in line with food security and poverty alleviation.

“…Nevertheless, many Swiss consumers have concerns about the ethical justification of eating meat, although they are not able or willing to switch to a vegetarian or even vegan diet (Berndsen and van der Pligt 2004).…”

Since the times of Adam Smith, ten thousands of economists have devoted most of their efforts to understanding markets. The resulting narrative they have helped develop impressively explains a large number of real-world phenomena.The most basic version of this narrative goes as follows: Two selfish individuals find that they can increase their utility by trading with each other. They engage in the trade on a fully informed base and end up happier than they were before.Economists also acknowledged that life can be somewhat more complex than that and have developed their models accordingly. For example, they modelled cases where full information was not available to one or both of the market partners. All these extensions of the basic model have led to a large body of thought about exchanges. Millions of pages have been filled to adapt the two selfish individuals to the linkages and insecurities in the real world.In this chapter, we will examine three market-related fields of decision-making in the realms of agriculture and rural areas. We start by coming back to the issue of occupational choice, this time mainly from a market perspective. A second section will then focus on the dynamics of settling or depopulating rural areas from a market perspective. Finally, we will look at choices on the food market.
