“…On the other hand, solidarity with local producers, and the associated environmental benefits also drive sales. A positive relationship can be found between higher education and organic food acceptance [32,33]. Beside education income situation has a great impact on buying organic.…”

Organic farming is one of the most developed and accepted production systems from the aspect of sustainability. In this study, the Hungarian organic market was segmented on the basis of attitude-relating motivations of organic food purchasing. A descriptive statistic was used for the whole sample, and factor and cluster analysis was applied to segment the organic consumers. A sample of 247 questionnaires was processed to investigate the behavior and characteristics of Hungarian organic food consumers. Our aim was to explore the Hungarian organic consumer market from the aspect of trust in labels, we would like to find answers to the questions “Which kind of information consumers check on the product?” and “What are the main influencing factors of purchase decisions?”. According to our research, the majority of organic food consumers say that color is not as important as taste or freshness, so they do not associate the color of the product with the freshness of the product. Based on the factor analysis, four clusters could be separated that show different shopping motives and differ in their attitude towards food shopping. We named these clusters: Health-conscious, Disappointed, Safe and free food eaters, and Quality-price comparators. Based on the recognized consumer segments, different information should be communicated to consumers so that they can use it in their consumer decisions. Our research suggests that branding or product labeling is not as important to organic food consumers as we previously thought.

“…When buying food products, one significant motivator is health [71]. Organic farming respects "the laws of nature" and "the laws of life", as being high-quality products, "100% natural" without chemical synthesis as opposed to conventional agriculture [72], that can harm human health and the environment [73]. According to Paul and Rana [74], the more cognizant consumers are about their health the more positive the attitude towards purchase intention of organic products.…”

Values and Planned Behaviour of the Romanian Organic Food Consumer

2020

Romanian consumers have started to buy and consume more organic products. Their decision-making process is influenced by multiple variables. The theory of planned behaviour is widely accepted and used to predict behaviours in certain contexts, including the buying of organic food products. Other researchers have identified values that the consumer of organic products hold and that influence their buying behaviour. This study analyses the factors that have an impact on buying intention and behaviour of Romanian organic products from these two perspectives. A proposed model was designed by combining the two frameworks. It was evaluated by using structural equation modelling with the SmartPLS 3 software package (v. 3.2.7, SmartPLS GmbH, Bönningstedt, Germany, 2017). Results confirm the model proposed in the theory of planned behaviour while integrating the relationships of consumer values. Health consciousness was found to have a significant effect both on buying intention as well as on personal attitude. Food safety has a significant effect on buying intention regardless of personal attitude. Environmental concerns, social consciousness, perception of quality and lifestyle although important in personal attitude, do not affect buying intention directly.

“…Despite the importance of innovation in the implementation of green growth policies, the financial support promoted by ABC Plan does not incentivise novel initiatives for promoting sustainable agricultural systems, as organic farming and production of biomass for energy as argued by Grubor, A. et al and Rodino, S. et al [13,14].…”

“…Agriculture has the potential to offset up to 20% of the global fossil fuel emissions, and its growth could increase employment and incomes. Activities, such as organic farming [13], production of biomass for energy [14] and ecotourism, are good examples [3].…”

“…Previous studies indicated that process innovations are fundamental for reducing carbon emissions by changing from carbon-emitting fossil fuels to renewable energy, promoting energy conservation and efficiency [20,21] and bioeconomy, such as organic food cultivation, plays a special rule in green growth [13]. Biber-Freudenberger, L. et al [22] is associated bioeconomic sectors with innovations.…”

Green Growth and Agriculture in Brazil

et al. 2021

This paper addresses Green Growth and Agriculture in Brazil, analysing the National Plan for Low Carbon Emission in Agriculture (ABC Plan). The main focus is to detail the structure and actions proposed and implemented by the ABC Plan, and also to identify its economic, environmental and social effects. Using a qualitative research approach, desk research was conducted through reports, newspaper articles, and official documents from the Brazilian government and the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA). The outcomes indicated that the ABC Plan did not address the main components of the literature on green growth policies, such as proper training of human resources in sustainable agricultural techniques, and access to financial support for promoting the implementation of sustainable agriculture systems. The lack of participation of local institutions in the creation and implementation of the ABC Plan is also pointed out.
