With increasing concerns over environmental and animal protection, the concept of a green diet is gaining popularity. This study examines the factors influencing young consumers' intentions to consume plant-based meat using the extended model of goal-directed behavior (EMGB). The results reveal that the EMGB successfully predicts participants' intentions to consume plant-based meat and outperforms the original model. Additionally, environmental concern and sensory appeal are significant variables influencing consumers' decision formation.
With increasing concerns over environmental and animal protection, along with consumers' preoccupation with health and wellness, the concept of a green diet is gaining popularity. This is leading to a new trend in the food culture of plant-based meat. Employing the extended model of goal-directed behavior (EMGB), this study examines the factors influencing the intentions of young consumers to consume plant-based meat. In particular, this study incorporates two vital constructs in food consumption, namely environmental concern and sensory appeal, into the model of goal-directed behavior (MGB) framework. Data were collected from closed questionnaires: a total of 537 questionnaire responses were gathered in Taiwan. The analysis was performed using the SPSS 25.0 for Windows and AMOS 24.0 for Windows. The results reveal that the EMGB included a satisfactory level of ability in predicting participants' intentions to consume plant-based meat and was superior to the original MGB. Furthermore, the two incorporated constructs were significant variables influencing consumers' decision formation. In addition, the attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and positive anticipated emotion influenced consumer desire, which, in turn, influenced behavioral intentions.
