The association of food consumption and macronutrient intake with dietary climate impact in Finland: Considerations on the role of energy intake
Objective: To study (1) the differences in dietary climate impact between sociodemographic groups, (2) the differences in food consumption and macronutrient intake as absolute amounts and in relation to energy intake by dietary climate impact level and (3) food groups as contributors of dietary climate impact. Design: Food consumption and energy and macronutrient intakes were calculated based on two non-consecutive 24-hour dietary recalls. Dietar…
The impact of adhering to a more plant-based menu on food waste at Finnish early childhood education and care centres
Purpose The aim of the study was to analyse how the introduction of an environmentally sustainable and healthy menu with a lower climate impact affects the amount of food waste (FW) at early education centres in Finland. This study provides new knowledge regarding the FW amount, type and origin at early education centres. Design/methodology/approach The study started with a baseline measurement period in autumn 2021, and follow-up measurements we…
Reducing the carbon footprint of diets across socio-demographic groups in Finland: A mathematical optimisation study
Objectives: To characterise nutritionally adequate, climate-friendly diets that are culturally acceptable across socio-demographic groups. To identify potential equity issues linked to more climate-friendly and nutritionally adequate dietary changes. Design: An optimisation model minimises distance from observed diets subject to nutritional, greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) and food-habit constraints. It is calibrated to socio-demographic groups d…

Food purchase behaviour in a Finnish population: Patterns, carbon footprints and expenditures
Objective: To identify food purchase patterns and to assess their carbon footprint and expenditure. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Purchase patterns were identified by factor analysis from the annual purchases of 3435 product groups. The associations between purchase patterns and the total purchases’ carbon footprints (based on life-cycle assessment) and expenditure were analysed using linear regression and adjusted for nutritional energy cont…
Justice in transitions: Widening considerations of justice in dietary transition
Just transition is gaining increasing attention.The need to consider social justice in sustainability transitions is finally being acknowledged.Research on this issue has, to date, mainly concentrated on energy systems.In this paper, we examine how the elaboration of dietary transition widens the spectrum of justice questions in sustainability transitions research.We explicate the arising normative questions along the dimensions of distributive, …
Discrimination, Harassment and Racism in Finnish Lower Secondary Schools
In this article, we examine the experiences of students in the ninth grade (aged 15-16 years) in relation to harassment, discrimination and racism. The study was carried out at eight Finnish lower secondary schools with a high proportion of students with an immigrant background in 2015. The sample consisted of survey data (n = 445) and thematic interviews (n = 112) conducted with young people of Finnish and immigrant origins. Approximately one-qu…
