This paper presents the findings of a study on the influence of health consciousness, organic food knowledge, and environmental attitudes on consumer’s attitude towards organic foods. A questionnaire survey was conducted using a sample of 222 respondents and a partial least squares approach was used to validate the research model. Environmental attitude and organic food knowledge are found to have positive influences on consumers’ attitude towards organic foods, which is consistent with research results from prior studies. Our research results also conclude that health consciousness does not show a significant relationship. Several implications of our findings for research and for the continued development of the organic industry in Asia are proposed.
