Gulbanu Kaptan - Invited talk on Food waste behaviour before and after the Covid-19 lockdown: Implications for Courtauld Commitment 2025

Dr Gulbanu Kaptan was an invited speaker at Leeds University Business School Lunch Bag Seminar Series on Sustainability Research. The seminar that was held on 18 February 2021 covered two studies conducted before and after the lockdown, respectively. The first study aimed to identify strategies to reduce food waste while promoting better nutrition and improved food safety. The second study has been funded by the ESRC and is being conducted jointly with two leading UK food waste organisations (i.e., WRAP and Zero Waste Scotland), aiming to harness the positive changes in food waste behaviour and investigate opportunities to sustain this change over the long term by revealing the causal factors underpinning the positive change and trial interventions to capitalise on them.
