Abstract
The current events remind us how agricultural activities can create strong damages on the environment and generate real problems for human health (pollution of drinking water, residues in food, etc.). Many consumers want to secure their health and to protect the environment and it’s in the way of a better quality and security for food. Indeed, some general inquiries estimate the willingness to pay for food products which respect nature and animal welfare near 30% more.
