These projective insights were triangulated with structured items measured on seven-point anchored scales, assessing conceptual definitions, self-reported consumptions and purchasing locations, which allowed for comparison to be made between implicit associations and explicit evaluations, bringing a more robust perspective.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Quality and freshness dominated the FWA in both countries for local and seasonal food. Economic meanings diverged: Brazilians associated these with affordability, whereas the Portuguese emphasised trust-based and positive economic aspects. Correspondence analyses revealed clear regional and sociodemographic contrasts: in Brazil, higher-income and educated groups prioritised sensory\/safety attributes, while lower-income groups emphasised price; in Portugal, Lisbon residents highlighted health and\/or environmental aspects, whereas Porto residents underscored sensory and economic value. Definitions of local food grounded in direct producer ties and traditional markets drew the strongest agreement, evidencing relational proximity. The integrated \u201clocal seasonal\u201d concept received weak endorsement, indicating limited communication and understanding.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>By combining projective and structured methods, this study provides novel cross-cultural evidence showing that relational and cultural meanings outweigh geographic metrics in shaping perceptions of local and seasonal food, highlighting the need for context-sensitive strategies to support sustainable food system transitions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/bfj-10-2025-1421","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,28]],"date-time":"2026-02-28T16:11:23Z","timestamp":1772295083000},"page":"301-329","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Cultural perspectives on local and seasonal food: a comparative study of urban consumers in Brazil and Portugal"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"128","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3084-6520","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Alexandre Maia","family":"Vargas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Porto DGAOT \u2013 Department of Geosciences, Environment and Planning, Faculty of Sciences, , ,","place":["Porto, Portugal"]},{"name":"Sensory Evaluation Group, GreenUPorto\/INOV4Agro Consumer Perception and , ,","place":["Vila do Conde, Portugal"]}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9197-8183","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ana Pinto","family":"Moura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DCeT - Department of Science and Technology, Universidade Aberta , ,","place":["Lisbon, Portugal"]},{"name":"Sensory Evaluation Group, GreenUPorto\/INOV4Agro Consumer Perception and , ,","place":["Vila do Conde, Portugal"]}]},{"given":"Marcela","family":"de Alcantara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PDJ\/FAPERJ, Embrapa Food Technology , ,","place":["Rio de Janeiro, Brazil"]}]},{"given":"Inayara Beatriz Araujo","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PDJ Nota 10\/FAPERJ, Embrapa Food Technology , ,","place":["Rio de Janeiro, Brazil"]}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5441-9558","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rosires","family":"Deliza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sensory and Instrumental Evaluation Lab, Embrapa Food Technology , ,","place":["Rio de Janeiro, Brazil"]}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4590-7533","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lu\u00eds Miguel","family":"Cunha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Porto DGAOT \u2013 Department of Geosciences, Environment and Planning, Faculty of Sciences, , ,","place":["Porto, Portugal"]},{"name":"Sensory Evaluation Group, GreenUPorto\/INOV4Agro Consumer Perception and , ,","place":["Vila do Conde, Portugal"]}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026041608022209500_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00362-015-0733-8","volume-title":"Categorical Data Analysis","author":"Agresti","year":"2013","edition":"3rd ed."},{"key":"2026041608022209500_ref002","volume-title":"Translation: Applications and Research","author":"Anderson","year":"1976"},{"issue":"22","key":"2026041608022209500_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/su142215172","article-title":"Effect of food quality and nutritional attributes on consumer choices during the COVID-19 pandemic","volume":"14","author":"Anis","year":"2022","journal-title":"Sustainability"},{"key":"2026041608022209500_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"253","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foodqual.2017.09.010","article-title":"Methodological issues in cross-cultural sensory and consumer research","volume":"64","author":"Ares","year":"2018","journal-title":"Food Quality and Preference"},{"key":"2026041608022209500_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"62","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foodqual.2016.03.014","article-title":"Do we all perceive food-related wellbeing in the same way?
