Summary
With the emergence of concepts such as risky behavior and food sustainability, eating habits and how they're changing have become crucial issues for health and the environment. Since the beginning of the XXI(sup)st(/sup) century, food education programs and consumer information initiatives have multiplied in France. However, assessing their real effects remains difficult, as changes in eating habits result from multiple factors that are hard to measure. It is precisely to better address this complexity that the Interdisciplinary Research Collective on Changes in Eating Behaviors (Circca) is proposing new areas of research, combining contributions from the experimental sciences, digital sciences, and the humanities and social sciences: neuroscience, cognitive psychology, sociology, nutritional epidemiology, experimental economics, behavioral modeling, and more.
This book engages in methodological reflection aimed at understanding changes in eating behaviors in a multidimensional way, through the presentation of various research projects, some of which are interdisciplinary. It is intended for students and researchers interested in issues related to eating behaviors, regardless of their discipline.
