  • Exploratory insights into consumption and commercialization of biological products during Covid-19 pandemic
    Publication . Pires, A. R.; Costa, Cristina Amaro; Moura, Ana Pinto de; Guiné, Raquel P. F.
    A questionnaire survey was designed to investigate the consumption habits and commercialization of organic products in Portugal, under COVID-19 restrictions. Results showed that most participants are familiar with organic farming and have consumed organic foods, mostly fruits and vegetables, and less meat or dairy products. Reasons to consume organic products include environmental concern, helping local producers and eliminating harmful substances such as pesticides from diet. Although the majority have consumed organic foods, there is still a small percentage of consumers who do not, and for those it is because of the high prices of organic compared to conventional food.
