5 pages., Online from FMI Foundation., This report summarizes findings of an online survey distributed to 2,000 U.S. egg/chicken consumers with demographics representing the U.S. population. Findings indicated that "price is a significant driver for the majority of consumers, that consumer response is sensitive to information provided about cage-free production practices, and that willingness-to-pay for cage-free eggs changes in the presence of other label attributes."

Accessed August 6, 2015., Paper presented at the AIEAA (Associazione Italiana di Economia Agraria e Applicata) conference, Ancona, Italy, June 11.12, 2015. 14 pages.
The aim of this paper is to present the concept of sustainable consumption, its aspects, awareness and implications for choices concerning food products. Particular attention was paid to consumer choices based on the perception of foodstuff packaging and the perception of the importance of labelling information. Empirical studies have shown that Polish consumers are increasingly more aware of the need for action on sustainable consumption, although it is not always re- fl ected in tangible activities in this area. Still for the majority of Poles it is synonymous with ecoconsumption, and engaging consumers in the concepts of sustainability is manifested e.g. in waste sorting, waste reduction, selection of organic, local products, in ecological packaging, for which they are ready to pay higher prices or search for information on sustainable products. Unfortunately, at present the scale of these activities and attitudes is still limited, thus the primary objective of the environmental, social and economic policies is to provide systematic and intensive consumer education and promote sustainable development.
Available online at www.centmapress.org, Results showed that the producers had seen a positive improvement in sales following acquisition of the regional food quality label, although they had not noticed greater interest in their products during campaigns to support awareness of the label.
20 pages., Online via UI e-subscription, Researchers used the Theory of Reasoned Action as foundation for investigating how a firm's choices related to brand identity and country of manufacture influenced purchase decisions. Results suggested that while both affect attitudes toward purchasing a product, a positive attitude toward buying a particular brand might offset a negative attitude toward buying from a particular country. This study focused on appliance brands. The review of literature cited examples of research involving ice cream, wines, and leather products.
