A sustainable dietary transition requires knowledge of the drivers and barriers of dietary choices. We investigate the role of preferences for domestic food, as well as environmental and health concerns, as drivers for the consumption of red and white meat, fish, ready-made plant-based food products and self-identification as some type of meat reducer (flexitarian, vegetarian, or vegan). A survey of 1102 consumers was conducted in Norway with questions about food attitudes, beliefs and preferences regarding health, the environment and domestic food as well as dietary habits and demographics. The results from interval and logistic regression analyses show that stronger preferences for domestic food are associated with higher consumption of red meat and a lower likelihood of eating plant-based food and identifying as a meat reducer. Health concerns are associated with higher consumption of white meat and fish, and environmental concern is associated with lower consumption of white meat and a higher likelihood of eating plant-based food. The results also confirm previous research results that disbelief regarding the negative health and environmental impacts of meat correlate with higher meat consumption and a lower likelihood of eating plant-based food. In addition, we find that people who believe that Norway is a country primarily suited for livestock production have higher consumption of meat and a lower likelihood of eating plant-based food. We conclude that to make certain consumers transition away from meat, it is important to provide domestically produced, plant-based alternatives and to implement policy measures that will generate positive storylines of improved farmer livelihoods.

Income comparisons between farm and non-farm households play a crucial role in many aspects of farm policy. Using household income data from tax returns of all Norwegian taxpayers in the period 2006–2015 we study these income differences. We find that the unconditional mean income is higher for farm households, but with important differences depending on the comparison group considered. We also find that the income difference is reduced when we control for differences in the personal characteristics of the different non-farm comparison sub-groups. This finding implies that income comparison using unconditional means, as frequently done in agricultural policy making, is potentially misleading. We also show that the income effect of personal characteristics is not the same for different comparison sub-groups, as has been assumed in previous studies of income disparities. Differences in personal characteristics, and the income effect of those characteristics, therefore need to be accounted for if income comparisons between farmers and non-farmers are to inform farm support policies.

The EU’s Farm to Fork strategy aims to create fair, healthy, and environmentally friendly food systems, ensuring universal access to sufficient, safe, nutritious, and sustainable food. Increasing the production and consumption of organic food is considered crucial to achieving these objectives. This study explores the development of organic food in four selected Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. We have observed the variance in the market share of organic products in the retail sector among these countries, with 13, 2.5, 1.73 and 8.9%, respectively (2021 statistics). This highlights a significant gap, with Denmark and Sweden leading in organic food consumption. We seek to understand the reasons behind this disparity by delving into public policies governing organic food strategies in the selected countries. The analysis entails examining multiple policy documents to pinpoint fundamental strategies and significant milestones influencing the development of the organic sector. Our findings indicate that Denmark and Sweden have historically implemented supportive policies, including financial incentives, subsidies, and regulatory frameworks, to promote organic agriculture. Their consistent, credible, comprehensive and coherent governmental policies and long-term commitments offer a stable environment for the organic sector to flourish. They seem to possess extensive distribution networks and better market access for organic products, contributing to the sector’s growth. The accessibility and availability of organic products in retail outlets play a vital role in influencing consumer choices. The paper provides policymakers with valuable insights into how to foster the consumption and production of organic food, not only within the case studies but also in other national contexts.
