“…In the literature it is found that consumers generally link organic foods to increased food safety in terms of an absence of GMOs and pesticide residues and to a lower degrees absence of artificial additives and preservatives (Yee, Yeung, & Morris, 2005;Canavari, Bazzani, Spadoni, & Regazzi, 2002;Honkanen, Verplanken, & Olsen, 2006), but the effect of food safety concern on the purchase of organic foods are mixed (Michaelidou & Hassan, 2008). In light of Michaelidou and Hassan's (2008) finding that concern about food safety issues are positively correlated with a positive attitude towards organic, but negatively correlated with purchase intentions, our results indicates that the effect of absence of GMOs and pesticide residues primarily works through confidence in the organic label.…”

This article shows that trust in the organic label as well as perceived positive health effects of consumption of organic products have positive causal effects on actual organic consumption. Furthermore perceived positive environmental effects and perceived better animal welfare related to organic production are found not to have no significant causual effect on actual behaviour, whereas concern for artificial additives and low price sensitivity have. Even when differences in time varying attitudes have been controlled for there is still a rather large heterogeneity in the organic purchasing behaviour. Part of this heterogeneity can be explained by differences in urbanisation or level of education, while income does not seem to have any effect when education has been controlled for. The data used is panel data for 830 households reporting actual purchases as well as stated preferences and attitudes in 2002 and again in 2007. The results point towards that the most efficient way of increasing organic consumption seems to be to continuously increasing the trust in the organic label and/or to document the positive health effects of organic food by e.g. focussing on measurable things such as a lower frequency of findings of pesticide residues in organic foods compared to conventional foods.

“…Pangan organik diyakini lebih aman (Canavari et al, 2002) karena merupakan pangan alami yang dihasilkan tanpa menggunakan bahan kimia dan pupuk buatan (Connor dan Douglas, 2002). Produk pangan organik dihasilkan dari pertanian organik, suatu sistem produksi yang mempertahankan kesehatan tanah, ekosistem dan manusia (USDA 2010).…”

Food security has meaning not only the availability of adequate food, but also providing security for producers and consumers and ensuring environmental sustainability for sustainable production. Organic farming systems are expected to solve the problem for realizing food security and enhancement of people's welfare. The results of research indicated that, (1) The implementation level of Standard Operating Procedure-Good Agriculture Practice (SOP-GAP) of Organic Rice Farming in Bantul district was quite high, (2) The implementation level of SOP-GAP of Organic Rice Farming related to the availability of capital, the selling price and the purchase price of inputs (seeds and fertilizers), (3) The level of the farmer's decision related to the implementation level of SOP-GAP of organic rice farming, and (4) development of organic rice farming required availability of sufficient capital. In this regard the government, particularly the agriculture authority and food security agency need to disburse or facilitate capital for farmers in revolving as well as low interest loans.

“…3; it is wholesome, it remembers the past and it is fashionable (Schifferstein and Ophuis, 1998;Chinnici et al, 2002;Hill and Lynchehaun, 2002). From the side of the obstacles there are: high prices (Byrne et al, 1992;Tregear et al, 1994;Roddy et al, 1996;Magnusson et al, 2001;Zanoli & Naspetti, 2002), lack of availability (Zanoli and Naspetti, 2002), skepticism of certification boards (Ott, 1990;Canavari et al, 2002;Aarset et al, 2004), insufficient marketing (Roddy et al 1996;Chryssochoidis, 2000), satisfaction with traditional foods (Roddy et al, 1994) and cosmetic defects (Ott, 1990;Thompson and Kidwell, 1998). In addition, the research made by Paul and Rana (2012) underlines as the preference for organic foods is affected by demographic features, availability and by the comparison with inorganic food.…”

The eco-labels in food products is an increasing presence to underline a particular attention to sustainability issues by producers and, recently, also by retailers, through their private labels (PLs). In the last years there has been a proliferation of eco-labels, generating sometimes a real confusion in consumers' mind. Nevertheless, some of them could be really considered as a decisive factor to influence the purchasing process. It could be possible to affirm that they acquired a real "power", producing a tangible effect on consumers' behaviour. The present work is an attempt to calculate the effectiveness of one of the most well-known eco-label, "Euro-leaf", that indicates products coming from organic farming. The aim of the analysis is to evaluate its incidence in the choices related to food proposals. In particular, the latter have been considered in a double way, exploring the different categories among branded and PL offers, in the continuous challenge between these two branding policies in the retail sector. Therefore, to carry out the research, the methodology adopted has been the diffusion of a questionnaire to a wide sample. More of 1.000 Italian consumers have been reached using an on line platform, shaping a stratified sample. The data elaboration shows a final result where the euro-leaf logo is able to have the same positive influence on buying propensity related both to branded and PL products. Observing the dimension of this influence, valid information are provided for practitioners and researchers to highlight a market trend where all the potentials have not yet been expressed.
