Abstract

This study examines consumer opinions and behavior toward international food standards related to sustainability and environmental responsibility.For the data collection process, a structured questionnaire was distributed online and completed by 1064 participants.The study focuses on assessing consumer awareness of food standards, the extent to which these standards influence purchasing decisions, and the demographic factors affecting such choices.The findings reveal a growing interest in sustainable products, particularly among younger age groups.However, the study also identifies significant gaps in knowledge and understanding of international standards, which hinder the adoption of more responsible consumption practices.It concludes with recommendations to improve awareness, transparency, and food labeling, as well as to promote sustainable consumption through coordinated policies and educational initiatives.
