The Scope of Ethical Consumption Research and its Connection with Geographical Studies - A Literature Review

Abstract

This study focuses on ethical consumption in order to grasp the overall picture of ethical consumption research, what kind of research context exists in the world, and what kind of issues are being debated. Through a comprehensive literature review, we will organize the current scope of ethical consumption research and summarize what kind of ethics is being discussed.

Then, we organize what kind of discussions are being developed. We believe that clarifying what kind of viewpoints these perspectives bring to geographical studies related to food chains is an interesting research topic for deepening geographical studies in an interdisciplinary perspective.
