Research unit

Description

The Food and Social Sciences Laboratory studies the economics and sociology of consumption and the food industry, the behaviors and strategies of the players in the food system. The laboratory contributes to the development and evaluation of public policies on agri-food standards. It is divided into two areas of research: study of eating behaviors and industries strategies, food sociology, which deals with the analysis of the links between social morphology and food consumption patterns and the analysis of food standards. This work is part of a policy to monitor consumption trends through partnerships with major groups such as Danone and Nestlé.
