Dietary Change Toward Less Meat Consumption
- A qualitative investigation of dietary change in everyday food practices

The dissertation investigates different aspects of the terms of dietary change towards less meat consumption in everyday food practices.

Building on 27 semi-structured interviews and 3-day photo diaries with young Danes who have reduced their meat intake, as well as on four network focus groups, I analyze the everyday food practices of food provisioning, cooking and eating. The dissertation draws on theories of practice, and contributes to the body of extant research within the field of sociology of food, everyday life and dietary change towards less meat by highlighting and empirically exploring the previously somewhat undertheorized and -researched subject of social dynamics between food practitioners.

Taken together, the dissertation contributes to the sociology of food and everyday life with detailed insights about how the organization everyday life food practices shape the terms of dietary change towards less meat consumption, and discuss potential implications for policy and change initiatives.
