Abstract

The scope of this study is to clarify the main factors affecting the consumption of foodstuff derived from animal products. For this, we applied a modified version of the health belief model (HBM); trying to quantify the differences on the impact of two food groups on human health. Principal component analysis was applied to highlight essential components influencing participants to consume locally produced animal products. Based on the 'consumers' perceptions, there is a general positive attitude towards agricultural products of animals fed with locally produced feed (LPF). Most respondents trust more LPF, considering them as healthier than imported ones, enhancing their identity. Age and educational level of respondents are characteristics that significantly influence their answers, as younger and higher educated consumers are more interested in adopting good eating habits, while seeking information about the origin of foodstuff. This is promising parameter for enhancing competitiveness of LPF on both local and international context.
