This thesis deals with a consumer-oriented analysis of the product carbon footprints (PCF) along the entire value chain of asparagus. Both, the determinants of the PCF on the consumer side for the purchase and use-phase of asparagus, as well as the relevance of such information on the purchase decision of consumers, are explored. The results provide valuable evidence of the fundamental importance of consumer influence in a PCF calculation and in particular of its determining factors. The findings on the importance of information on the PCF in the purchasing decision provide a good basis for appropriate communication strategies to be developed in the future.
