Abstract
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.
