BEACON Behavioural Insights for a Circular Society

One third of the global GHG emissions caused by human activity stem from the food system. Knowing the importance and impact of food systems on our lives and the planet, BEACON works with engaged actors of practice and research to test, learn, share, and discuss (and, post-project, provide the evidence and pathways to scale up) behavioural interventions to shift an urban food system towards more resilience and sustainability. While the research focuses on urban food systems and experiments in a real world setting of a city (Copenhagen), the findings are expected to apply to other consumption areas and systems of provision, and to contribute to the building of a Circular Society.
