Education is closely related to lifestyle as one of the most decision making factors including food price shaping the way of eating. A subset of consumption behavior is the customers purchasing behavior. A more detailed analysis from the perspective of sociodemographic characteristics has shown some significant differences in attitudes and purchasing or consumer behavior. In terms of age, there is a certain generational divide, particularly in items related to purchasing behavior and food preparation. In case of education, the analysis has focused on the dimensions of purchasing behavior and the environment. It has been shown that education is one of the factors that significantly and statistically influences the importance of main factors when purchasing food and the value which consumers attach to environmental aspectsysis. People with higher education levels engage more frequently in activities that are beneficial for the environment and related to the purchase and consumption of food.
