What this trial studies
This is an observational, questionnaire-based study that measures ecological intelligence, ecological anxiety, and sustainable dietary preferences (including organic food consumption) in adults.

No experimental treatments are given; the study analyzes associations between attitudes and reported eating behaviors. Findings will be used to better understand drivers of sustainable nutrition choices.
