Sustainability disconnect: Chicago-based Perishables Group conducted a nationwide survey to learn if messages about sustainability and ecolabels were resonating with buyers — and influencing their purchases. The answer? Not really.Topmost on the minds of the 1,000 survey respondents was food safety, followed by price. Customers also look for wild or farmed identifiers and where their seafood comes from. About one-third claimed to be knowledgeable about seafood sustainability, while 40 percent said they knew nothing or very little about the concept. More than one third believed that farm raised fish are more sustainable than wild caught, and that farmed shrimp, catfish, and tilapia are the best sustainable choices.
