Vision Statement
My research concerns the food consumption and production practices of both consumers and businesses, paying particular attention to wasteful habits, routines, behaviours and strategies. The transgressive and boundary crossing nature of food means that our interactions as consumers are both embodied and embedded within factors of space, place, nature, culture, society and technology. My research is underlined by a need to move towards more sustainable arrangements between consumers and business and intends to understand the wider social, economic and environment context of food in society to address waste through preventative interventions.
