Social Interactions for Sustainable Food Choices: Meeting the Target for Meat Intake in the United Kingdom.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Substantial shifts in contemporary diets are needed to halt the growing burden of chronic diseases and the accelerating climate crisis. Achieving this will require strong action and the use of policy instruments that can aid consumers in making the right dietary choices. Real-life evidence on changing dietary behaviors within complex food systems at scale demands resources and research that might not be realistic to acquire or realize.

Objectives

This project applied innovative models to predict the dietary and environmental effects of broad-scale strategies designed to transform dietary behaviors among consumers. Scenarios were numerically simulated using agent-based opinion-dynamics models to evaluate the impact of governmental influence on people's consumption
