For example, in the case of supermarkets, out of the total number
of respondents, a small part never bought vegetables there before the ASAT membership; the
percentage grew significantly after becoming ASAT members: 74 % of respondents totally
disagreed and disagreed that they still buy vegetables from a supermarket. Overall, we
registered a significant decrease in trips to the supermarket after joining ASAT (Table 18).
Shopping for vegetables in the town market also registered changes: a large segment (31 %)
stopped sourcing their vegetables from the town market after joining ASAT, and the trend
shows an overall decrease in the number of trips to the town market in the "after" situation.
An interesting fact is that almost 4 % of respondents started using the town market more after
become ASAT members, and declare shopping there four times a week (Table 19). We also
inquired about outlets specialized in ecological food (shops, markets), but the respondents did
not mention any and even commented about their absence in Timisoara.
