Sustainable Consumption in the Field of Nutrition in Germany – Four Examples
Sustainable Consumption in the Field of Nutrition in Germany – Four Examples

Summary/Abstract: Four main surveys in Germany focused on sustainable consumption in the field of nutrition. The results and the methods of these studies were analysed. The results show the complexity of nutrition behaviour and influencing factors. Organic products have become more familiar in recent years but the purchase frequency of organic products is low. Different quantitative and qualitative methods were used to gather data. Recommendations were given for the food supply chain as politics and consumer counselling in the conclusions of these projects. Advice for future research is offered at the end of the analyses. Inter- and transdisciplinary research and methods should increase. Not only nutrition, but also all household activities should be included in the analysis of sustainable consumption.
