A novel approach applied, combining best‐worst scaling choice experiments with contingent valuation using scale‐adjusted latent class model specification. results reveal consumers have intense CB attributes in food, especially those related plastic use, development, biodiversity. Four different consumer classes are identified according their toward (Eco‐multifunctionals, Utilitarians, Sustainable agrarians, Circulars—the latter two newly here).
