The influence of subjective and objective knowledge on attitude, motivations and consumption of organic food (2011, background): “This also relates to the fact that a high proportion of “heavy users” and VELT-members are included, and regular users are reported to attach greater importance to the value “Universalism” of which environmental friendliness is a part (Zanoli and Naspetti, 2003; Mondelaers et al., 2009; Padel and Fo”
Evaluating the purchase behaviour of organic food by young consumers in an emerging market economy (2019, background): “According to Padel and Foster (2005), consumers believe that organic vegetables and fruit are tastier than conventional foods because they are naturally produced, contain less chemicals and have genuine flavour.”
Individual values and motivational complexities in ethical clothing consumption: A means-end approach (2012, methodology): “Similar to laddering studies within organic food (Baker et al., 2004; Padel & Foster, 2005), means-end approaches can be used further within the area of ethical clothing to provide more detailed insight.”
Adolescents’ attitudes towards organic food: a survey of 15‐ to 16‐year old school children (2007, neutral): “Furthermore, it was assumed that health and environmental considerations would be the most important factors in deciding to purchase organic food, as research among adults pointed in that direction (TNS, 2003; Zanoli, 2004; Biologica, 2005b; Padel and Foster, 2005 ).”
Organic food consumption in Europe: International segmentation based on value system differences (2011, background): “Padel and Foster (2005) have shown that organic vegetables are among the most frequently cited products associated with organic food.”
The role of health consciousness, food safety concern and ethical identity on attitudes and intentions towards organic food (2008, background): “Despite food safety being highlighted by previous literature as a motive for purchasing organic food (e.g. Padel and Foster, 2005; Baker et al. 2004; Schifferstein & Oude Ophuis, 1998) its relationship with attitudes and intention towards organic foods is yet to be formally modelled.”
Eating green. Consumers' willingness to adopt ecological food consumption behaviors. (2011, background): “In a focus group study, consumers namely expressed mistrust about whether something labeled as organic was actually organic (Padel & Foster, 2005).”
Food Labeling and Eco-Friendly Consumption: Experimental Evidence From a Belgian Supermarket (2014, background): “Although many studies indicate that most consumers claim to be willing to pay for environmentally superior food products, the share of environmentally superior food in total consumption remains low (Padel and Foster, 2005; Rousseau and Vranken, 2013).”
Attitudinal inconsistency toward organic food in relation to purchasing intention and behavior (2012, background): “By far, the great majority of organic-food consumption researches investigating the relationship between attitudes, intention and behavior have focused on consumers of European or North America countries (e.g. Torjusen et al., 2001; Fotopoulos and Krystallis, 2002; Saba and Messina, 2003; Krystallis”
Organic food products in China: determinants of consumers’ purchase intentions (2012, background): “There is a relatively poor understanding of the legal use of the term ‘organic’ on food products including inspection and certification systems (Padel and Foster 2005 ).”
