This situation highlights the significance of implementing conscientious consumption behaviours (Carrión Bósquez et al., 2023). The production and consumption of food have a notable impact on both environmental and human health (Hansmann et al., 2020). More specifically organic farming offers notable improvements in both areas compared to traditional production methods of food (Yazdanpanah & Forouzani, 2015).
