Ethics as a driving force towards sustainable future food consumption

The role of seafood in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals is not yet adequately addressed by science or in policy. For example, analyses of sustainable diets often do not even consider seafood and it is rarely discussed as being part of the global food system. This needs to change if we are to reliably assess how the overall human footprint can be minimized as the human population increases. Theoretical analyses of how the human food-associated footprint can be minimized are, however, useless unless people are willing to act accordingly.

Do you have clear ideas about the future role of seafood? Or no idea at all? We are interested in your participation regardless of prior knowledge or ascertained values, as we are all consumers who every day shape economic realities and future developments through our purchases. 

In this workshop, we will perform an experimental survey of attitudes towards food and nature to indicate opportunities and obstacles to change. This will serve as pilot for a larger study that aims to identify bottom-up pathways towards a sustainable future, construed so that individual motivation aligns with desirable outcomes globally.
