This research aims to offer insight into the perspectives of people from two distinct groups who are concerned about the international social-environmental practices of one company and affected through its factory work and impact on their living environment. One group is the activist citizen initiative, …

The sustainable provision of enough nutritious food for a growing world population is pushing the food system towards finding new approaches to agriculture (Ockenden, et al., 2017). While the demand of animal products is rising (Armanda, Guinée, & Tukker, 2019), the negative effect on the climate, soil, …

Climate change is becoming an increasingly important topic and issue worldwide. To change what is currently happening, adjustments within society need to be made. Plant-based diet have a smaller ecological footprint compared to other diets, such as a meat-based diet. In addition, research shows that …

The increasing global population is pushing companies to come up with alternative ways of production to meet the demand (Roser, 2013). The problem of feeding nearly 10 billion people in 2050 is described by the EAT Lancet commission and in order to meet the demand that comes with the growing number of …

The impacts of the current food system and the consequences for future generations lead to the need of taking action in form of a dietary shift towards more plant-based diets. It is believed that this transition will not only benefit people’s wellbeing, but also prevents an exhausting exploitation of …

The future energy system could benefit from the integration of independent gas, heat and electricity infrastructures. Such a hybrid energy network could support the increase of intermittent renewable energy sources by offering increased operational flexibility. Nowadays, the expectations on Natural Gas …

The future energy system could benefit from the integration of the independent gas, heat and electricity infrastructures. In addition to an increase in exergy efficiency, such a Hybrid Energy Network (HEN) could support the increase of intermittent renewable energy sources by offering increased operational …
