Influence of Variables to Reduce the Intention and Behaviour Purchase Gaps in Eco-Label Food Products
Academic researchers have sought to examine the variables that affect purchasing behaviour and the development of models for ethical consumer behaviour due to the fact that consumers are increasingly aware of the impact that daily food products can have on the environment. As a result, the demand f...
