Seaweed as a sustainable food alternative: A case study of Canadian consumer behaviour
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This aim of this paper is to evaluate consumer attitude, behaviour, and purchase intention towards seaweed food products in Toronto, Canada to gain insight into their current market position. The study is descriptive and exploratory in nature. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used with a total of six hundred adult respondents participating. The key variables assessed in the study include health consciousness, environmental factor, taste factor, preference towards innovative diets, barriers in the consumption of seaweed food products, attitude toward seaweed consumption, behavioural intention, and purchase intention toward seaweed foods. SPSS.25 software was used to clarify and analyse the data collected from the respondents, in addition to: Descriptive statistics, Cronbach's Alpha Reliability Analysis, Exploratory Factor Analysis, Pearson Bivariate Correlation, and Independent Sample t-test. The results of the study provide convincing evidence reflecting a positive consumer attitude towards seaweed products in Toronto, Canada. Key indicators from this paper will serve to inform market stakeholders within the food and beverage industry, health and fitness industry and agricultural industry.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
