CONTEXT
Sustainable food: public attitudes and engagement in the UK, Brazil and India research was commissioned by the Science Museum Group, supported by Lloyd’s Register Foundation. Flow Associates formed a research team with Flow India and People’s Palace Projects do Brasil, to consult adults, families, schools and professionals in the UK, Brazil and India to discover their knowledge and views about food sustainability, and how they could be engaged more effectively.
AIM
In an increasingly disparate world, there is no aspect of life so universally shared as the consumption of food. Yet there is an intimate relationship between the current environmental crisis and the production, distribution, consumption and wastage of food which is threatening our ability to feed tomorrow. Global food systems are unhealthy for the planet and there is inequality in the provision of nourishing food.
Through this research we have sought to explore what people understand of these challenges and how we can better communicate with them to enable us to play a part in tackling these issues.
