Household behaviour and food consumption

Book section: This chapter looks at the impact of instruments directly targeting consumers' choices concerning food consumption, such as organic labelling and raising awareness through public information campaigns. It provides a better understanding of the main determinants for consuming organic food and products that take animal welfare into account, and examines how much more households are willing to pay for these products.
