Majority of Italians show concern for food waste, with 9 out of 10 expressing anxiety on the issue of food waste.
=====================================================================================
Italians are showing a growing inclination towards sustainable food behaviors, according to a study conducted by EngageMinds Hub, a research center in consumer psychology and health at the Catholic University of Cremona.
The study provides a snapshot of the "good potential" society in terms of sustainability, with seven out of ten Italians adopting sustainable behaviors in food production. Two-thirds of Italians are more inclined towards sustainability than convenience in their daily behaviors.
The research reveals that women and graduates are more inclined to adopt sustainable food behaviors, with 77% and 78%, respectively, of this demographic group embracing sustainable practices. Interestingly, left-wingers in Italy are more inclined to adopt sustainable food behaviors, with 79% showing a commitment to sustainability.
However, the study does not provide specific data on the percentage increase in sustainable food behaviors among Italians or the time frame over which this increase was observed. Furthermore, it does not compare the sustainability behaviors of Italians with those of other countries or regions.
The study also does not mention any specific initiatives or policies that may have influenced the increase in sustainable behaviors among Italians. Nonetheless, it is clear that social communication has played a role in the consolidation of sustainable food behaviors among Italians.
Greater attention to food waste is influenced by economic factors, as Italians seek more frugal consumption approaches. Italians are generally more disposed to sustainability, according to Guendalina Graffigna, director of EngageMinds Hub.
The study focuses on Italians adopting sustainable behaviors in various fields, including food and energy. Typically, trends in sustainable food consumption in Italy include increased interest in locally sourced and seasonal foods, reduction in food waste, growing preference for plant-based diets, and attention to packaging sustainability. Italians are also increasingly valuing transparency and ethical practices in food production.
While the specific details of the EngageMinds Hub study are not available, it is evident that Italians are making strides towards sustainable food consumption.
