Watch Our Valumics Webinar “Putting Solutions in the Shopping Basket” @ValumicsH2020 Around one hundred participants joined the interactive webinar which focused on food retailer approaches and interventions to support more sustainable food consumption. With a broad participation of EU policymakers, food retailers, and academics, the webinar sparked a constructive discussion about what works and what doesn’t when it comes to fostering sustainable food consumption. The webinar “Putting Solutions in the Shopping Basket” was held as a side session of the EAT@Home series, a global science-based platform dedicated to transforming global food systems. The webinar addressed these main questions: How can retailers in the food sector play an active role in supporting the transition towards healthier and more sustainable food consumption in view of the Farm to Fork Strategy, part of the EU Green Deal? What can we learn from behavioural interventions applied in real-life contexts and what is the way ahead to scale them up?
