Principali Ambiti di Ricerca

So far, much of her empirical work has dealt with household panel data, in particular with the attitude-behaviour gap related to sustainable food. However, her research interests are broader and also relate to experimental designs and behavioural interventions and cover topics such as reduced meat consumption, protein alternatives, biodiversity-friendly agriculture and food waste behaviour.
