Abstract

Eating organic food is a key health issue… but at what cost? While market gardening in Africa, particularly in urban areas, has helped improve the dietary diversity of city dwellers, its development has been accompanied by the untimely use of uncontrolled pesticides, inducing a significant health risk to both producers and consumers. The actions taken by governments to control the use of pesticides mainly target producers -and have proven to be ineffective (Cissé et al., 2003). The purpose of this article is to explore the demand side by identifying the attributes of food products (vegetables), particularly their organic nature, which guide consumers' choice on the market.
