Figure 3 . Number of producers participating under each policy option . The bars represent standard deviation . Means that do not share a letter are significantly different .
Average Age of Consumers

Figure 4 illustrates the means and standard deviations of the age of consumers

participating ( blue bars ) under each policy option . The average consumer age was significant ( F ( 4,4995 ) = 6.07 , p < 0.001 ) across the five different policies . In the figure , means that do not share a ( upper case ) letter are significantly different , as calculated by post-hoc analysis . None of the pairwise differences reached the small effect size threshold .
