Sustainable food systems should use what is currently a wasted side-stream, such as protein in the potato starch industry. ProPotato explores consumer acceptance of new plant-based foods with potato protein.
Retailers are criticised for triggering consumer food waste through food price promotions. WasteProm studies whether this actually holds true, or whether it rather depends on the consumer in question.
To secure continued sales growth of Danish pork in the Chinese market and a first mover advantage, it is crucial that the Danish pork sector gains knowledge about the best branding strategies for pork in the Chinese market.
When we eat a cashew nut, we are not aware that it is actually just a small part of the cashew fruit. We might buy coconut water, but what actually happens to the coconut, if only the water is bottled? And are there other un-tapped sources of protein in some further crops?
With an outset in food policy issues related to health, sustainability and food quality trends, MAPP conducts research projects on the attitudes, preferences and activities of consumers and other actors.
Why not harvest energy and crops from the same field? Agro-voltaic systems combine food production and photovoltaic parks for a dual land use. We study farmer, citizen, and consumer acceptance of this sustainable technological innovation.
CRES aims to improve and diversify local income potentials in Ghana and Burkina Faso through a selection of best varieties of native tree species, value-added products and innovative marketing. Financed by Danida.
This project studies how a ‘consumer-friendly’ and ‘holistic’ sustainability label could be created – with holistic meaning reflecting all relevant dimensions of sustainability, instead of only one or few.
The MAPP Centre is part of FOODHAY: Open Innovation FOOD & Health Laboratory research infrastructure. The project funds infrastructure for advanced consumer behaviour research.
In this project, we investigate consumers’ perceptions of the Mimica Touch label and how this can be integrated in their daily practices in relation to purchase, storage, use, and disposal of food.
The project will aim to secure uptake of sustainable packaging solutions and optimise reuse schemes.
PlantPro will accelerate an efficient green consumer behaviour transition towards more plant-rich diets and reduced food waste.
The Covid-19 pandemic affects many aspects of everyday life. How will it affect consumer behaviour and consumer demand for food products and services?
We lack solid evidence on why lost weight is often regained after diet. In NoHoW, the aim is to learn which factors support weight loss maintenance in keeping the lost weight at bay.
FUNPRO discovers the potential of cereal crops of the Nordic region to introduce new plant protein ingredients for new sustainable food products and brighter future.
The objective of this project is to transform large-scale technologies for the processing of fruits and vegetables, to small, flexible and mobile units in local food communities.
The project will study the physio‐geographical and socio-economic conditions for producing provenance foods in Denmark and support differentiation of the agricultural production.
COMFOCUS brings together, integrates on European scale, and opens up key national and regional research infrastructures in the field of food consumer science to all European researchers.
The main objective is to increase the competitiveness and sustainability of the value chain of the Mediterranean marine aquaculture sector and explore new added value products and market niches for Mediterranean aquaculture species.
The project aims to develop state-of-the-art antimicrobial packaging solutions to improve food safety and reduce food waste with the use of nanotechnology
OATPRO engineers the oat proteins through consumer driven sustainable food development process for more plant-based and environmentally friendly food matrices.
MooDFOOD applies a multidisciplinary approach to find out how food-related behaviours, behavioural advice and nutrient intake are linked to depression and preventing depression.
DIVERSIFY drives the blue revolution by exploring the biological and socio-economic potential of new fish species for expansion of the European aquaculture industry.
Edulia responds to the urgent need of the EU society to find new ways to tackle the escalating issue of obesity, through promoting healthier eating from childhood, within the context of choice.
