Summary in the original language of the document
The purpose of this paper is to analyze whether organic foods are used to signal social identity, class, or status, i.e. if they have social value. Bourdieu’s (1979; 1994) approach and symbolic interactionism (Solomon, 1983) are used to frame the causes and consequences of social value and to highlight the marketing implications. Specifically, results of a four focus group study indicate that organic food has a social value, but that its value depends on other green behaviors by the consumer or the producer, and also on the venue (CSA, market, supermarket).
