Understanding Sustainable Behaviour

A masterclass in consumer research that actually changes things

Why do people say they care about sustainability and then reach for the cheapest option on the shelf? The gap between intention and behaviour is where most research goes wrong, and where the most important insights are hiding.

This workshop gives you the conceptual tools and practical methods to design consumer research that captures what’s really going on. Drawing on the frameworks developed in Understanding Consumer Behaviour by Future of Food Institute founder Durk Bosma, you’ll move beyond attitude scales and stated preferences into the psychology, social dynamics, and contextual factors that actually drive sustainable food choices.

Learning Objective: You’ll leave with a clear methodology for setting up your next research project and a sharper eye for why so much existing research leads to strategies that don’t stick.

Suitable for: researchers, strategists, start-up founders, policymakers, marketeers, and insights professionals working in food, retail, or sustainability.

Format: Full-day workshop | Open enrolment & in-company

Dates: Will be announced soon

Investment: €450 (open enrolment), €1,750 (in-company)
