Abstract:
Amidst increasing awareness of, and concern for, environmental sustainability, one of the great challenges of our time is to change our consumption habits in order to operate within planetary boundaries and to optimise human health (IPCC, 2018). Our food practices have been identified as one of the cornerstones of the urgently required transition to more sustainable food consumption (Springman et al., 2016; Tilman & Clark, 2014). This qualitative study explores the interconnected household food practices of a sustainability dedicated cohort focusing in particular on the influence of Food Provisioning Systems (FPS) on such practices. The knowledge gained from this study aims to contribute to existing bodies of research centred on food practices and sustainable consumption.
