Consumer behaviour, diet and sustainability: how are they connected?
About the webinar:
Sustainable diets are a hot topic, not only in the world of nutrition but also amongst the general public. In this webinar, hosted by Dr Joanna McMillan, we’re joined by Howard Parry-Husbands from Pollinate to discuss the consumer perspective on drivers of food choice and where environmental concerns fit in. Dr Brad Ridoutt from CSIRO will then discuss his research on the environmental impact of the Australian diet and dietary strategies for achieving environmental objectives in a healthy diet.
