Abstract

The aim of the article is to characterize the attitude of young consumers towards the concept of sustainable consumption in the area of food consumption, which is manifested, among others, in the declared engagement in sustainable behaviors both in the market as well as in households. The research was conducted using the CAWI method on a sample of Polish consumers from the Lubuskie region. The article consists of two parts. The first part explores the problems of sustainable consumption. The second part presents the results of research on consumer attitudes towards the concept of sustainable consumption in the area of food consumption. Particular attention was paid to the awareness of the implications of consumer behavior in the process of satisfying food needs. Behaviors, attitudes and beliefs of consumers related to sustainable consumption were characterized, and an attempt was subsequently made to determine the extent of the gap existing between behaviors and attitudes. The conducted survey research constituted an attempt at highlighting certain consumption problems among young people, to have them share their views on the different issues of sustainable consumption, as well as to emphasize the importance of various factors in shaping sustainable food consumption patterns. The article certainly is not an exhaustive examination of all the problems areas of sustainable consumption, but it should make these more easily identifiable all while stressing the real role and importance of sustainable behaviors among young consumers in the modern economy. Keywords: sustainable consumption, sustainable development, young consumer.
青年消费者行为中的可持续消费
本文的目的是描述年轻消费者对食品消费领域可持续消费概念的态度,这体现在市场和家庭中均宣布参与可持续行为。该研究采用CAWI方法对来自卢布斯基地区的波兰消费者样本进行了研究。本文由两部分组成。第一部分探讨了可持续消费的问题。第二部分是食品消费领域消费者对可持续消费概念态度的研究结果。特别注意到在满足食品需要的过程中消费者行为的影响。描述了消费者与可持续消费相关的行为、态度和信念,并试图随后确定行为和态度之间存在的差距的程度。所进行的调查研究旨在突出年轻人的某些消费问题,让他们分享他们对可持续消费的不同问题的看法,并强调各种因素在形成可持续食品消费模式方面的重要性。这篇文章当然不是对可持续消费的所有问题领域的详尽检查,但它应该使这些问题更容易识别,同时强调可持续行为在现代经济中对年轻消费者的真正作用和重要性。 关键词:可持续消费,可持续发展,年轻消费者。
