Abstract
This master thesis focuses on the topic of organic foods. The first part of the work deals with the definition of the term and describes in detail the conditions which have to be met in order for a product to be considered organic. This definition is then followed by an examination of the organic food market from points of view of both supply and demand. It is important for the consumer to see the distinction between organic and conventional foods. The thesis aims to explain motives that can play part in the decision-making process behind the purchase or rejection of organic foods and to analyze the obstacles which might deter a consumer from choosing these products. This description is followed by a comparison of the organic food market structures and consumption of organic foods in Austria and the Czech Republic, while concentrating mainly on distribution channels and product groups. The main aim of this thesis is to investigate and analyze the factors which influence the dissemination of organic foods and to outline the development of innovation strategies for further expansion of the market. The thesis concludes with selected examples of innovation in the field of organic foods.
