Onderzoek: perceptie van ‘local’ en ‘organic’ bij consumenten in de VS en Canada

The varying terms associated with local and organic have the potential to confuse consumers as to their true meaning, especially with respect to production practices. For these reasons researchers at the University of Connecticut USA examined the perceptions and misperceptions of the terms local and organic, specifically focusing on differences between U.S. and Canadian consumers.

An article about the research is published in the International Food and Agribusiness Management Review.
