New CUES publication: Byte into sustainability: a scoping review of digital food environment attributes

Research led by CUES partner KU Leuven has delivered a critical overview of how
the digital food environment can be harnessed to promote sustainable eating. The
scoping review, published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and
Physical Activity, is an essential contribution to the CUES project, directly informing
the design of our upcoming interventions.

The study analysed 57 research papers, covering a wide range of digital media types
including e-commerce platforms (like online supermarkets), social media,
sustainability apps, documentaries and blockchain-related technologies. The result is
a set of actionable results for stakeholders on how to best design digital
communication to steer consumers toward sustainable food choices.

This publication aligns with the objectives of Work Package 2 of the CUES project,
which investigates the key consumer factors influencing sustainable food behaviour.
