Abstract

The current decline in sales of organic products is generally attributed to the price of raw materials, the price of products or the slump in consumer purchasing power. In order to gain a better understanding of this phenomenon, this research identifies the motivations and disincentives behind the willingness to pay for sustainable food products (monetary and non-monetary values) and assesses the role of personal characteristics on the perceived value/WTP link. Using qualitative methods based on consumer interviews, textual data analysis using ALCESTE© and a semiotic square, four consumer typologies were identified, based on the link between their personal characteristics (ethical sensitivity, concern for the environment, and concern for health and food safety) and the value classes of these innovations (health benefits, intrinsic and extrinsic product quality, practicality, ethics and financial sacrifices).
