许多研究表明，消费者对当地食物有很高的偏好和支付意愿(Feldmann和Hamm，2015)。尽管如此，关于消费者是否接受使用进口饲料生产标有“本地”标签的动物产品的研究很少。欧洲严重依赖来自南美和美国的富含蛋白质的饲料(Watson等人，2017)，这种依赖尤其适用于荷兰和德国西北部的动物生产热点地区(Van Grinsven、Spiertz、Westhoek、Bouwman和Erisman，2014)以及有机部门。巴西和阿根廷的大豆种植与砍伐森林、草原砍伐和土地掠夺有关(Boerema等人，2016，Smling等人，2008)。大多数德国消费者不知道德国当地生产的动物产品通常是用进口饲料生产的，这些进口产品与负面的环境或社会影响有关(Uhl和Schnell，2014，WäGeli等人，2016)。在欧盟，国内蛋白质植物的研究和培育得到了越来越多的推动。德国联邦食品和农业部(BMEL)启动了一项蛋白质战略，以减少进口大豆的比例(BMEL，2016)。然而，由于生产成本的相对劣势，在欧洲使用本地饲料生产动物产品通常比使用进口蛋白饲料更昂贵(Kaltenecker，Kemper，Schaack，&von Schenk，2017)。因此，只有在向农民支付公共补贴，或者用当地饲料生产的动物产品能够在市场上实现更高价格的情况下，当地生产链才在经济上可行。
Many studies have revealed a high consumer preference and willingness-to-pay for local food (Feldmann and Hamm, 2015). Nonetheless, there is very little research on whether consumers accept the use of imported feed for animal products labelled as ‘local’. Europe is heavily dependent on protein-rich feed from South America and the US (Watson et al., 2017) and this dependency holds particularly for the animal production hot spots in the Netherlands and North-Western Germany (Van Grinsven, Spiertz, Westhoek, Bouwman, & Erisman, 2014), and the organic sector.Soybean cultivation in Brazil and Argentina is linked to deforestation, savannah removal, and land grabbing (Boerema et al., 2016, Smaling et al., 2008). Most German consumers do not know that locally produced animal products in Germany are often produced with imported feed and that these imports are associated with negative environmental or social effects (Uhl and Schnell, 2014, Wägeli et al., 2016). In the EU, research and cultivation of domestic protein plants have been increasingly promoted. The German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) has started a protein strategy to reduce the proportion of imported soya (BMEL, 2016). Nonetheless, producing animal products with local feed in Europe is usually more expensive than using imported protein feed due to comparative disadvantages in production costs (Kaltenecker, Kemper, Schaack, & von Schenk, 2017). Therefore, local production chains are only economically feasible for a farmer if either public subsidies are paid to the farmers, or higher prices for animal products produced with local feed can be achieved in the market.
