... Organic food can be defined as, "the product of a farming system where the raw materials used in the product are grown through organic farming, without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or induced hormones" (Consumer Education and Research Centre, 2015). Several studies say that consumers are well known about organic food but the regularity in purchase of organic food is low as compared to non organic food (Roddy et al., 1996, Wandel and Bugge, 1997, Ubba and Verma, 2017. Hence, the organic food industry need to understand the various motives and barriers for organic food and their consumption. ...
... On addition to the concerns about conventional food, the health and environmental sensitivities of consumers, the increase of social knowledge, consciousness and education level and improvements in consumer income level have been effective in the increase of organic food consumption.

... Together with the perceived difficulties and eases in purchasing organic food products, past experiences are factors that determine behavioral intent and behavior. On many studies, it has been suggested that there is a positive relationship between the ability to control consumer behavior individually and the intention to purchase Bryła, 2016;Kapuge, 2016;Chekima et al., 2017;Hansen et al., 2018;Lian, 2017;Maichum et al., 2017;Droian et al., 2017;Savita & Verma, 2017;Asif et al., 2018).

Consumer demand for organic foods has increased significantly in recent years in the world. Consumers are influenced by various internal/external factors when purchasing food products. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of knowledge variable on consumers’ purchasing or consuming behavior for organic foods together with other factors in Turkey (Hatay City). For this purpose, the effects of consumers’ organic product knowledge levels are examined within the frame of Theory of Planned Behavior. The data of 431 consumers analyzed in the model were collected in 2017 with a 21 scale questionnaire and analyzed with Structural Equation Model. According to the results of the model analysis, a significant part of the variance in consumers' organic food demand (61%) was explained by the organic food knowledge variable. Reducing consumption obstacles, along with efforts to increase the organic food knowledge of consumers, will increase organic demand. While trying to increase the supply of organic products especially in regions where consumers are concentrated, the food production sector should also focus on informing, raising awareness and promoting. The actual buying behavior in organic food products should be examined in more detail in terms of motivation sources and obstacles.
