'The majority wants to reduce food waste' - Lukas Fesenfeld on Swiss National Radio SRF4
Lukas Fesenfeld, Associated Researcher and former PhD Candidate of the IPE group, discussed the most recent results of the Swiss Environmental Panel on food waste in a report which was featured on Swiss National Radio SRF4.
Do citizens provide political rewards to firms engaging in voluntary environmental action?
Voluntary environmental action induces positive reactions among citizens towards individual firms, as a recent publication by Dennis Kolcava and Thomas Bernauer from the IPE group together with Joachim Scholderer from the Norwegian University of Life Sciences found. Their research was published in the Journal of Cleaner Production.
To cut food waste, we may need to pay more for what we eat
(Re-post from ETH News) How can we reduce food waste? The Swiss Environmental Panel investigated public opinion on food waste, selecting a sample representative of the population in Switzerland. Although the Swiss population are aware of the problem, they misjudge where most food waste is generated, ETH political scientists conclude. The general public support cutting food waste, even if this means food will cost more.
