Topic 1: Domestic food practices for enhancing sustainable and healthy diets
As a human geographer concerned with society-envrionmental relations on the micro-scale of everyday life I can look back on ten years inter- and transdisciplinary experiences with (un-)sustainable food consumption – including platform mediated/ distributed food, experiences with dietary regimes of children and young people and in different household constellations.
The Centre for Sustainable Social Transformation (University of Graz) explores and advances social innovations to promote social-ecological transformations by integrating academic research with the activities of various societal stakeholders. It has been applying and refining transdisciplinary methods (such as living labs, participative action research, experiments) and is experienced in the systematization of experiences and learnings. Addressing real-life situations as a crucial locus of transformations, the RCE was and is involved in numerous transdisciplinary regional, national and international research projects on promoting change towards just sustainabilities with respect to (urban) everyday life, including food consumption in household and educational settings.
