The purpose of this research project was to shed light upon possibilities and obstacles for changing food into more plant-based food in the everyday lives of Danes.

The project looked into the mundane food practices, social norms and social interaction around food.  In the project, we investigated the quantitative distribution of plant-based eating among Danes in general. We also investigated qualitatively the specific dynamics among Danes aged 18-30 years, who have had experiences with more climate-friendly and plant-based food routines. For example, we looked into what they ate, and how they handled their food routines in relation to their social network.
