Het FLY (Food-related Lifestyles in Youth) - project
Youth play a crucial role in the societal transition to more sustainable diets. In the FLY-project, we study what youth - in particular those belonging to lower socio-economic groups - think about eating sustainably, and their perceived barriers and facilitators for transitioning towards a more sustainable diet. In high schools, we discuss these issues with young people and investigate (changes in) their diets over time as well as potential underlying mechanisms. Together with youth, we co-create and test intervention strategies that can support youth in the transition to more sustainable diets, with a focus on the role of group processes.
