Abstract:
This paper evaluated low environmental risk awareness related to the food industry among students in Romanian high schools offering food-related educational programs, within the framework of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4). The study used a questionnaire based on 349 self-reported answers and interviews conducted with an independent group of 20 students. Using an informed theory of planned behavior (TPB) model and a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach, the influence of knowledge, attitude, and subjective norms on low environmental risk awareness was tested in order to understand the potential of Romanian high school students to become responsible food citizens. Subjective norms and knowledge showed significant effects on self-reported low environmental risk awareness (p < 0.001), indicating the need for interventions to consolidate pro-environmental social norms and offset low environmental risk awareness in Romanian high schools with food-related educational programs. The interviews supported the dominant importance of subjective norms over the other variables in relation to low environmental risk awareness and in shaping future food citizens.
