Resumen de Who will eat insects? How the intention to eat innovative insect food is not connected to sustainability knowledge and commitment of Swedish students
Tiziana Marie Mutschler, Johanna Lindell, Max Jürgen Halbwachs
Using a quantitative survey based on the theory of planned behaviour, we assessed whether the commitment of students within the field of sustainability has any impact on their intention towards eating insect-based products as a more sustainable protein-source than meat. The results show no significant relationship between the students’ discipline and their willingness to consume insect-food. Food neophobia, vegetarianism or limited accessibility of the products are identified as possible reasons for this, which has various implications for further research and the marketing of insectproducts.
