Shogren Print Publication Date: Sep 2011 Subject: Economics and Finance, Labor and Demographic Economics, Environmental, Agricultural, and Natural Resources Economics Online Publication Date: Nov 2012 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199569441.013.0031
Abstract and Keywords This article reviews only those empirical works that report results on the influence of sociodemographic factors on food consumption. It highlights those recent papers that can be helpful to the interested reader as a base from which to explore further aspects of demographics and food consumption. Reviewed empirical studies analyze the influence of demographics on food consumption following the two different approaches. This article presents the main demographic trends in developed countries. It gathers empirical evidence about the effect of demographic factors on food consumers' preferences for different food attributes, classified for pedagogical purposes in the following categories: ethics (organics, fair trade, and animal welfare), food safety and health (food safety, healthy diets, genetic modification, and irradiation), local and typical produce, ethnicity, and convenience. Finally, it concludes with some remarks and comments about emerging trends for future research. Keywords: sociodemographic factors, food consumption, developed countries, food safety, empirical studies
