A recent Consumer Food Insights (CFI) report by Purdue University's Center for Food Demand Analysis and Sustainability, in partnership with DIAL Ventures, explores how education and awareness impacts food choices and sustainability. After surveying over 1,200 American adults, the study revealed that taste and affordability remain top priorities for all education levels, while higher education correlates with a greater focus on nutrition.
The findings also highlight that 71% of consumers have limited familiarity with regenerative agriculture, and support for these practices drops when consumers bear the cost. Additionally, food insecurity affects 31% of individuals without a college education. These insights underline the intricate connection between education, food choices and sustainability awareness in shaping consumer behavior.
