“…These results differ from the increase in concern about health and higher ethical standards detected by Verbeke et al (2000) among older consumers, and likewise do not concur with those obtained by Schröeder and McEachern (2004), in respect to the fact that the totality of women in Scotland prefer to buy food produced with AW standards, but show a lower willingness to pay a higher price for the product. Nevertheless, the results concur in terms of the greater concern among families with children less than 12 years of age (Quagrainie et al, 1998;Verbeke et al, 2000), given that 81.1% were willing to pay a higher price for meat with AW standards. On average, the survey participants indicated being willing to pay 15.2% more for meat produced with AW standards, with the highest percentages of price increase indicated by persons from the social-economic group C3, businesspeople, agricultural producers and the unemployed, while the lowest levels were registered among the retired and persons who consume beef occasionally.…”

“…As well, there is evidence of greater concern about health and ethical standards among older survey participants (Verbeke et al, 2000). Likewise, it has been noted that there is a lower consumption of meat in families with higher education and with children under 12 years of age (Quagrainie et al, 1998;Verbeke et al, 2000), which is associated with a greater concern about health. Sensitivity with regard to AW is also differentiated according to sex, age, educational level and country of residence (Bernués et al, 2003;María, 2006).…”

“…Asimismo, considerando la importancia que han adquirido los problemas de obesidad en el país, con una dieta con mayor contenido de grasa derivada de productos animales (21) y un importante incremento de la obesidad infantil (22), era posible esperar a priori notables diferencias en los hábitos de consumo de carnes según la presencia de niños en los hogares (9,13), no obstante, sólo se observaron diferencias en el hecho de consumir cerdo y en la frecuencia de su consumo, con un mayor consumo de esta carne en hogares con niños pequeños y una superior frecuencia de consumo en hogares con presencia de adolescentes. Las escasas diferencias atribuibles a la presencia de niños en la familia, permiten sugerir que la elección del tipo de carne a consumir en el hogar todavía no se relaciona al cuidado nutricional de los niños, aun cuando la asociación entre la obesidad infantil y los factores de riesgo de enfermedades crónicas, su persistencia en la edad adulta y el escaso éxito en su tratamiento (23), son hechos conocidos.…”

“…Asimismo, existe evidencia de una mayor preocupación por la salud a mayor edad (9). Las decisiones de compra de alimentos también se asocian a las prácticas alimentarias de los miembros de la familia (12), existiendo menor consumo de carne en familias con niños menores de 12 años (9,13).…”

“…Si nos centramos en el campo de la economía agraria, podemos encontrar estudios logit para analizar las variables que intervienen en la adopción de innovaciones tecnológicas en la producción agraria (Gómez-Limón et al, 2000;Govindasamy et al, 1999;), la toma de decisiones de los consumidores de productos alimentarios (Quagrainie et al, 1999;Holland y Wessells, 1998), el comportamiento financiero de las empresas agrarias (Goldsmith y Sporleder, 1998;Franks, 1998), la participación en programas agroambientales (Crabtree et al, 1998;Bell et al, 1994).…”
