Abstract

The research shows that regular buyers consider organic food consumption essentially as a way to express their sensitivity for issues that entail an ethical dimension (such as environmental defense). In contrast, occasional buyers tend to prize the care for their own health and that of their families as a leading motivation for buying organic food. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
