Dataset on consumer acceptance of policy measures for sustainable food consumption

This data was obtained from an online survey conducted with Swiss participants from the German-speaking parts of Switzerland. The survey was conducted in February 2023. Participants were recruited through a professional panel provider and quotas were used for age and gender. The final sample contained 453 respondents. In the first part of the survey, respondents provided basic sociodemographic information and reported how often they consumed meat and dairy products. In the second part, their knowledge regarding the environmental impact of food was assessed using an existing scale by Hartmann et al. (2021). Next, respondents indicated for 19 different policy measures how much they agreed with each of them. Finally, respondents answered several questions assessing their health consciousness and environmental attitudes using existing scales. The survey can be used and adapted to different contents, aiming to investigate public acceptance of policy measures for sustainable food consumption.
