Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-4647-9315 Attitudes of meat consumers in Mexico and Spain about farm animal welfare: A cross-cultural study 2021 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted The aim of this cross-cultural survey conducted in a developed country (Spain, n = 1455) and an emerging country (Mexico, n = 833), was to analyse how meat consumers perceive farm animal welfare and how these perceptions and attitudes can be convergent or divergent. The intercultural comparison shows that animal welfare is a convergent value between Mexicans and Spaniards. However, the importance of animal welfare for consumers varies according to sociodemographic variables such as gender, rural or urban origin, educational level and age. The motivations of consumers in both countries to build this convergence around the overall importance on farm animal welfare are divergent. For Spaniards, animal welfare seems to be a legal, administrative, and verifiable reality that must be profitable to society. In contrast, for Mexican consumers, animal welfare is still an aspirational ideal. Despite this, such divergences may end up building large consensus that are transformed into a stable added value of the market for meat products. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 7.077 2021 FOOD SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 16 / 144 = 0.111 2021 Q1 T1 1.298 2021 Food Science 2021 Q1 10.4 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Maria, G.A.
