Cultural perspectives on local and seasonal food
Purpose This study aims to examine how urban consumers in Brazil and Portugal conceptualise and engage with local and seasonal foods, addressing the lack of cross-cultural empirical evidence comparing the Global South and Southern European contexts in relation to these concepts. Design/methodology/approach A free-word association (FWA) task was used to elicit spontaneous associations from two quota-controlled (for sex, age group, education level …
Clean-label products
Consumers are preferring more "natural" foods, made of "healthier" and "familiar" components - the "clean-label" trend. As the population ages, understanding the older adult consumer segment becomes increasingly important. This study aims to identify the factors influencing the acceptability and liking of clean-label products in older adults living in the community. A convenience sample of 100 older adults was used for this cross-sectional study.…
Introducing menus of three weekly insect- or plant-based dinner meals slightly reduced meat consumption in Danish families
The environmental concerns associated with excess meat consumption have emphasized the need for sustainable alternatives. Edible insects offer a promising alternative due to their environmental efficiency and nutritious profile, but their widespread adoption in Western diets remains a challenge. The objective of the study was to investigate the impact of exposing families (parents and children) to insect-based or plant-based dinner menus on dieta…
School lunch nutritional adequacy
Objective: To determine nutritional adequacy of school lunch and to assess the impact of food waste on nutrient intake of primary schoolchildren. Design: The weighing method was used for evaluating initial servings and plate waste for lunch. Energy and nutritional contents of meals served, consumed and wasted were estimated using the software Food Processor Plus. The mean nutritional value of food served and consumed was compared with dietary gui…
Food choice and food consumption frequency of Cape Verde inhabitants
Strategies to reduce plate waste in primary schools – experimental evaluation
Objective To determine and compare the effect of two interventions in reducing the plate waste of school lunches. Design A between-group analysis was conducted among children from three primary schools: (i) a group receiving intervention A, designed for children and focusing on nutrition education and food waste; (ii) a group receiving intervention B, intended for teachers and focusing on the causes and consequences of food waste; and (iii) a con…
