There are increasing concerns of society towards the consumption of animal products which have been produced and transformed in a sustainable manner. This trend influences consumer purchasing decision making, particularly in developed countries. On the other hand, in the next years, the pressure to increase the volume and efficiency of meat production will be much higher to cope with the expected unsatisfied demand. At least in part, current and future technologies could contribute to solve this challenge. However, the use of some of these innovations could have a negative effect on consumer preferences. There is no consensus in our society about this dilemma. The objective of this paper is to review the scientific evidence related to these topics and to analyze and discuss the effect of some of the extrinsic and intrinsic factors linked with the sheep industry which could affect the acceptability of lamb meat by consumers.
社会对以可持续方式生产和转化的动物产品的消费越来越关注。这种趋势影响着消费者的购买决策，尤其是在发达国家。另一方面，在未来几年，为了满足预期的未满足需求，提高肉类生产的数量和效率的压力将会更大。至少在某种程度上，当前和未来的技术可能有助于解决这一挑战。然而，这些创新的一些应用可能会对消费者偏好产生负面影响。我们的社会对此存在分歧。本文的目的是回顾与这些主题相关的科学证据，并分析和讨论与绵羊产业相关的一些外在和内在因素对消费者对羊肉接受程度的影响。
