Sustainable Consumption Institute

New ESRC project with University of Sheffield and the SCI Reshaping the domestic nexus at home: engaging policy understandings of kitchen practices and how they can change.

Working with key policy partners, we are applying practice theory to better inform interventions aimed at changing demand for water, energy and food in the home.

This ESRC funded project applies a practice theory approach to a range of policy initiatives in the water, energy and food nexus with a focus on consumption practices in UK kitchens. Working in partnership with the Department for Energy and Climate Change, the Department for Food and Rural Affairs, the Food Standards Agency and Waterwise, our purpose is to better inform policy intervention in this field. This project follows on from The Domestic Nexus Networking project (funded by ESRC Nexus Network between the University of Sheffield (Watson, Jackson, Sharp) and the University of Manchester’s Sustainable Consumption Institute (Evans, Browne, Warde, Southerton).
