英文文献摘要：
Results from a 2007 Australian consumer survey conducted at a large farmers market are used to explore the hypothesis that consumers who are more concerned about certain types of food labeling information, particularly information related to food production attributes, are more likely to support policies which help develop farmers markets and support mandatory labeling policies. Product information and attributes such as Country-of-Origin, No Growth Hormones Used, Free Range and Animals Treated Humanely and Environmentally-friendly appear to be very important to consumers. It appears that respondents want increased government involvement in developing consistent food labelling standards for these attributes and support mandatory food labelling policies, however, respondents are split between whether third-parties or the Australian government should oversee regulation of the program. Some respondents appear to view a mandatory labelling policy as a method to improve competitiveness and sustainability of small food producers who want to use labelling to differentiate themselves. Respondents also tended to support the government subsidizing the development of farmers markets. Respondents viewed FM as an opportunity to gain additional information or purchase foods that have credence attributes such as pesticide-free. Thus, policies supporting FM may help alleviate market failures related to asymmetric information and lack of choice.

2007年澳大利亚消费者调查结果用于探索一个大型农贸市场假设消费者更关心某些类型的食品标签信息,特别是食品生产相关信息属性,更有可能支持政策帮助开发农贸市场和支持强制性标签政策。产品信息和属性，如原产国，没有使用生长激素，自由放养和动物被人道和环境友好对待似乎对消费者非常重要。看来，受访者希望政府更多地参与制定统一的食品标签标准，并支持强制性的食品标签政策。然而，受访者对是否应该由第三方或澳大利亚政府监督该项目的监管意见不一。一些答复者似乎认为，强制性标签政策是提高希望使用标签来区分自己的小型食品生产者的竞争力和可持续性的一种方法。受访者也倾向于支持政府补贴农贸市场的发展。受访者将FM视为获取额外信息或购买无杀虫剂等有信誉的食品的机会。因此，支持FM的政策可能有助于缓解由于信息不对称和缺乏选择而导致的市场失灵。
