• The green halo: Mechanisms and limits of the eco-label effect (2015, background): “Consumers do say they prefer the taste of eco-friendly food over ordinary food products (Fillion & Arazi, 2002; Grankvist & Biel, 2001; Theuer, 2006), including organic bananas (Basker, 1992).”
• Sustainability labels on coffee: Consumer preferences, willingness-to-pay and visual attention to attributes (2015, methodology): “Twelve attributes (such as taste, quality, availability, price) were included based on previous studies (Grankvist and Biel, 2001; Mintel, 2012; Van Loo et al., 2010) aswell as the importance of sustainability labels on coffee such as Fair Trade, USDAOrganic, Rainforest Alliance labeling.”
• Improving Eco-labelling as an Environmental Policy Instrument: Knowledge, Trust and Organic Consumption (2014, background): “For example, Grankvist and Biel (2001) argue that consumers’ positive beliefs about eco-labelled products, e.g. that they are healthier, better-tasting and more environmentally friendly, is positively correlated with their purchase (see also Hughner et al., 2007; Lea & Worsley, 2005; Yiridoe et…”
• Personal determinants of organic food consumption: a review (2009, background): “Studies suggest that this is one of the reasons why fewer people than expected buy organic products (Grankvist and Biel, 2001; Thøgersen and Olander, 2006).”
• Explaining consumer attitudes and purchase intentions toward organic food: Contributions from regulatory fit and consumer characteristics (2014, background): “Numerous researchers (Grankvist & Biel, 2001; Lee, Shimizu, Kniffin, & Wansink, 2013; Magnusson, Arvola, Koivisto Hursti, Aberg, & Sjoden, 2001) indicated that consumers perceive foods labelled as organic to be healthier than traditional foods.”
• Organic food consumers' trade-offs between local or imported, conventional or organic products: a qualitative study in Shanghai (2011, result): “These results confirm those of previous studies highlighting the importance of individual motives behind organic food consumption (e.g. Grankvist and Biel, 2001; Zanoli and Naspetti, 2001; Wier et al., 2006).”
• The role of health consciousness, food safety concern and ethical identity on attitudes and intentions towards organic food (2008, background): “identified interest in health as a primary motive for the purchase of organic food (Lockie et al. 2002; Grankvist & Biel 2001 ).”
