The role of price in consumers’ purchase decisions on organic food

Factors influencing consumers’ gaze and purchase behavior for food products labeled with nutrition and health claims

When this is the case, communities are directly exposed to the negative consequences of those land use changes. The Mashavera River Basin is considered one of the hotspots of environmental pollution in Georgia. This is of importance for public health because the food production from this basin meets a substantial proportion of the country’s food demand. The farmers’ perception of the water ...
