TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the factors that trigger consumers to purchase eco-sustainable products and the interrelationship between environmental knowledge (EK), environmental concern (EC), green attitude (GA), and perceived behavior control (PB) among Indian consumers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the relationship between the purchase of GI food products, the attitudes towards proximity, tradition, and ethnicity, and consumer ethnocentric tendencies, and found that consumers who value these aspects, closely related to each other, present a greater purchase intention and a higher purchase frequency of food products with protected geographical status.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether the organic label on a food product always increases consumer consumption of that product, considering two moderators: food type and consumer differences in health locus-of-control (HLOC) (externals vs. internals).

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of involvement, perceived availability, certainty, perceived consumer effectiveness, values, and social norms on consumers' attitudes and intentions towards sustainable food products is analyzed. But, behavioral patterns are not univocally consistent with attitudes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the findings from in-depth interviews of consumers to determine their views concerning the social responsibilities of companies and develop a typology of consumers whose purchasing behavior ranges from unresponsive to highly responsive to corporate social responsibility.
