Abstract
The lack of knowledge and understanding of organic foods has resulted in very few Indonesians who buy the products, even though the survey shows a high potential market for Indonesian organic food. Generation Y or Millennial is a cohort that has a high concern for health and the environment. This study aims to analyze the factors which influence Millennials' intention to buy organic food products by using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as the framework. The data were collected using an online survey from 194 Millennials. The data was analyzed using factor analysis with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that attitude was significantly and positively affect Millennials’ intention to buy organic foods. The higher the environmental concern, knowledge of organic foods, and perceived affordability, the higher the attitude towards organic food products. Furthermore, neither awareness nor knowledge of organic foods moderated the relationship between TPB’s three antecedents on intention to purchase.
