Food diversity and accessibility enabled urban environments for | ResearchBunny

Abstract

This paper investigates sustainable food consumption in Brisbane, Australia, using 500 online surveys. It finds a "double-helix" of overconsumption of unhealthy food and underconsumption of healthy food, influenced by affordability, access, retail options, and carbon footprint. The study suggests that creating diverse and accessible urban food environments can improve sustainable consumption, aligning with UN SDGs 12 and 13.
