Purpose

The actions of the political consumer of food may be manifested either through boycotting or through deliberate purchase of certain products based on ethical, environmental or political values (buycotting). This article has several objectives: to analyse which factors predict the behaviour of political consumers of food; to examine how they perceive that their actions can contribute to social or political change and that the political system will respond to their interests and to people's needs and to discover whether, for the political consumer of food, good citizen behaviour comes closer to the norms of the socially “engaged” or “dutiful”.

Design/methodology/approach

A national survey of 1,000 people was conducted in Spain. For the analysis of the data, logistic regression models were developed to determine the factors that most influenced the boycott or deliberate purchase. To address the relationship between food consumption in the political arena and political effectiveness and citizenship standards, the authors have conducted factor analyses of the main components.

Findings

The main results show political food consumers to be people who are interested in politics, distrust government and big business, are confident in their ability to influence these groups to change practices that are not in line with their values and have a high degree of social engagement.

Social implications

Consumers are demanding a fairer and more supportive agri-food production system, a healthier and more environmentally friendly diet and accountability from both the private sector and policymakers.

Originality/value

These data represent progress in the study of this form of political action in Spain as there are no precedents.

抵制和购买食品：西班牙的政治活动新形式

目的

可以通过抵制抵制或通过基于道德，环境或政治价值的有意购买某些产品（抵制）来体现政治食品消费者的行为。本文的目标是：分析哪些因素可以预测政治食物消费者的行为；检查他们如何看待自己的行为可以促进社会或政治变革，以及政治制度将对他们的利益和人们的需求做出回应，并发现对于政治上的食品消费者来说，良好的公民行为是否更接近于社会上“订婚”或“尽职”的人。

设计/方法/方法

西班牙进行了全国1,000人的调查。为了对数据进行分析，开发了逻辑回归模型来确定最影响抵制或故意购买的因素。为了解决政治舞台上的食品消费与政治效力和公民身份标准之间的关系，作者对主要组成部分进行了因素分析。

发现

主要结果表明，政治食物的消费者是对政治感兴趣，对政府和大企业不信任的人，并且对他们有能力影响这些群体改变与他们的价值观不符并具有高度社会参与度的做法充满信心。

社会影响

消费者要求私营部门和政策制定者建立更公平，更具支持性的农业食品生产系统，更健康，更环保的饮食和问责制。

创意/价值

由于没有先例，这些数据代表了西班牙在研究这种政治行为形式方面的进展。
