Selected Current Projects

Sustainability Promotions in the Food-Away-From-Home (FAFH) Industry: The FAFH industry promotes various aspects of sustainability in different ways. How do consumers react to different sustainability goals or promoting measures? We use discrete choice experiments to learn consumer sustainable choices in the food industry.
- Current Progress: Survey data collected, 1 published paper, 4 working papers including 2 under review

Sustainable Agricultural Production: Efforts to improve sustainability in specialty crop production include developing low-carbon technologies. We show consumer premiums exist for various technologies and different carbon reduction levels.

Food Waste Reduction Efforts: Food waste reduction happens in various stages in the food system. We use both a survey and a field experiment to learn consumers' and farmers' attitudes to such efforts.

Consumer Willingness-To-Pay for Forestry Ecosystem Services: Forest provides various ecosystem services to society. It is pivotal to understand how forest consumers value the services and how information affects the valuation.
