Consumer research

understand the consumer

Deeply understanding the consumer is the key to reaching them effectively. We unearth their motivations and barriers when it comes to consuming more sustainably.

Future of Food Institute supports brands, retailers and manufacturers in sustainable product development and communication by providing crystal clear consumer insights. We conduct both qualitative and quantitative market research.

our way of working

This is how we ensure our clients get the right answers to the right questions in an effective and efficient way. Always involving senior researchers with extensive knowledge about sustainability.
  • We start with a thorough analysis of the research request at hand. Making sure we perfectly understand our client's research need.
  • Whenever possible we will draw on what is already known about the issue. This includes all we know through the large-scale Future of Food research.
  • ​We will propose an effective and efficient way of conducting research, fitting the research questions. 

Examples of our work

Some examples of studies with which we have helped clients to become more sustainable:
  • Large-scale quantitative research into wishes, needs and developments in the field of baby nutrition in the Netherlands and Belgium.
  • Qualitative and quantitative research into the effectiveness of various advertising campaigns of major FMCG brands
  • An online community with about 30 consumers and daily discussions about the consequences of technological developments for the future of agriculture.
  • A tasting in which we let consumers taste and assess various organic and non-organic vegetables at different locations.
