Editor's Notes
- The explorative and longitudinal project, Foods and the Environment : A Household Ecological Approach, was started in 1998 to study food management in households related to environmental impact. The project's approach is action and participatory research. Figure 1 describes four evolving phases. The overall aim of the first phase was to describe management processes covering the whole chain of events from shopping, transporting, preparing, serving, cleaning up, and waste handling. In the second phase the environmental impact of the households’ food habits was analysed. The analysis was made in terms of life cycle energy inputs for food consumed. In the third phase feedback was given to the households about the life cycle energy inputs related to food habits. Moreover, a manual for low energy foods habits was developed as a guideline for the households. Based on this information, the households planned and implemented food habits demanding less energy. The effect of the participation in this experiment was evaluated in phase four.
