Behavioural research and insights for transitioning to sustainable food systems

The BEATLES project hosts a webinar and workshop uniting experts for sustainable food system behavioral research.

Key messages

The webinar and workshop are organised in the framework of the BEATLES project with a view to engage stakeholders in the food system value chain in discussions about behavioural research and insights for the transition toward sustainable food systems.

Agenda

The webinar will start with Marilena Gemtou, the coordinator from the Agricultural University of Athens, who will introduce the BEATLES project. Following this, Søren Marcus Pedersen, a partner of the BEATLES project, will delve into “Locks-in and levers for transition to sustainable food systems.” Simone Cerroni will then present findings on “Farmers’ preferences for subsidy schemes to promote methane emission reduction in the livestock sector,” drawing from insights of the sister project VISIONARY. Concluding the webinar, Irina Popescu, a Food Policy Officer at BEUC, will address consumer attitudes and initiatives like ‘Put Change on the Menu.’

The second part will feature a workshop which will encompass a collaborative session. Participants, including technical experts and stakeholders, will engage in identifying challenges and opportunities in the transformation of the food system. Through interactive online tools, the attendees will provide feedback on the presented research results and collectively explore strategies for advancing practices for climate-smart farming.
