Abstract

Given coronavirus 2019 (COVID‐19), we empirically investigate whether consumers are willing to pay for greater sustainability and safer working conditions in food supply chains.

Policy implications suggest a market‐based potential to nudge consumer segments who desire value congruence in their diet, namely, by revealing information through labeling.
