Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to identify and characterise the phenomenon of ecologisation in the food behaviour of Polish consumers and the factors shaping it. The research was conducted in 2018, covering the entire territory of Poland. The measurement tool in the primary research was a questionnaire. The collected data is analysed using factor analysis (main component method), Cronbach’s alpha-factor, ordered logit models, Pearson’s χ2 and Cramer’s V coeffi cients, as
well as descriptive statistics and structure indicators. The analyses show that the phenomenon of ecologisation is clearly visible in the food behaviour of Polish consumers, especially among older people. It is associated with higher food awareness in Poles and manifests itself, in particular, in the relatively frequent purchase of organic products and their introduction to the daily diet. The most important factors shaping their attitude to organic food are age, education level and place of residence.
