In recent decades, the global interest in organic food has steadily risen, prompting increased scholarly attention to unravel the complex motivations and barriers influencing its consumption. Despite a plethora of studies on the subject, there exists a lack of cohesive synthesis in literature. This study addresses this gap by conducting a systematic literature review that comprehensively analyzes the factors and challenges influencing the purchasing decisions of organic food. Drawing from 59 empirical research articles spanning from 2019 to 2023, various theoretical frameworks, including the Theory of Reasoned Action, Theory of Planned Behavior, Value-Belief-Norm, Attitude-Behavior-Context, and Value-Attitude-Behavior Hierarchy, were employed to categorize identified motives and barriers. The main findings of this systematic literature review encompass several key aspects: firstly, the provision of descriptive statistics about the chosen studies; secondly, a comprehensive synthesis of the factors discussed in the selected studies, employing various theoretical frameworks; thirdly, identification of potential possibilities for future research; and finally, the implications of these findings for scholars, managers, and policymakers seeking to enhance their understanding of organic food consumption-related issues. This review paper significantly contributes to education (SDG4) by sharing insights, drives innovation (SDG9) in sustainable agriculture, aids policymakers in building resilient, organic food systems in communities (SDG11), and fosters collaborative partnerships (SDG17) for holistic sustainable development.
