Consumer attitude and behaviour towards tomatoes after 10 years of Flandria quality labelling Ghent University
In recent years, trust in food safety and food quality has decreased as a result of consecutive food crises. Consequently, numerous quality labels signalling process-related credence characteristics have been established. One of these labels is the Belgian Flandria quality label for fresh fruit and vegetables. Based on cross-sectional data collected through a self-administered consumer survey (n = 373), this paper addresses consumer attitudes, ...

Impact of consumer behaviour on the environmental sustainability profile of food production and consumption chains : a case study on chicken meat Ghent University
The relationship between consumer behaviour, food-packaging system, and food loss and waste (FLW) has often been overlooked within environmental sustainability assessments of food products. The aim of this study was twofold: (1) to quantify the food and packaging flows of the combination of four packed chicken products and four types of household behaviour using material flow analysis, and (2) to assess the environmental profile of these ...

From cart to door: Unravelling consumer behaviour through attitudinal sustainability profiles Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In the evolving landscape of the retail industry, e-commerce has reshaped consumer behaviour, including the last mile delivery. Despite consumers typically having the final say when it comes to delivery requirements, research on last mile deliveries frequently overlooks consumer behaviour. Addressing this gap, this study explores consumer attitudes towards sustainability in last mile deliveries and assesses their impact on behavior and travel ...
The role of health-related claims and health-related symbols in consumer behaviour : design and conceptual framework of the CLYMBOL project and initial results Ghent University
Health claims and symbols are potential aids to help consumers identify foods that are healthier options. However, little is known as to how health claims and symbols are used by consumers in real-world shopping situations, thus making the science-based formulation of new labelling policies and the evaluation of existing ones difficult. The objective of the European Union-funded project Role of health-related CLaims and sYMBOLs in consumer ...
Food waste and consumer behaviour among Flemish households Departement of spatial development, environment, energy, climate, green economy, animal welfare
In 2015, the Flemish government, together with the various chain partners, signed the Ketenroadmap Food waste 2015-2020. Nine action programmes aim to reduce food waste by 15% by 2020. Within this action plan, consumers are put forward as an important target group. The Flemish monitor Food Residual Flows and Food waste (2017) showed that households in Flanders are one of the three largest sources of food waste (in tonnage) throughout the chain. ...
