FINEST researchers present results at international conferences

During the Nordic Nutrition Conference in Bergen, Susanne Bryngelsson and Marta Bianchi presented a poster from a FINEST project comparing the Keyhole and Nutri-Score front labels for plant-based drinks and yoghurt products. The conclusion is that the Keyhole makes a stricter judgement, i.e. fewer products are judged to be of nutritional quality according to the Keyhole compared to Nutri-Score. The project was led by Hanieh Moshtaghian with Marta Bianchi, Elinor Hallström and Susanne Bryngelsson as co-authors.  Link to abstract: https://www.idunn.no/doi/abs/10.18261/ntfe.22.5.144#abstract 

During the R&D Management Conference in Stockholm, Maria Elmquist, Joakim Netz and Thomas Taro Lennerfors organised the track ‘Enabling innovation in the agri-food sector’. Helena Fornstedt presented ongoing research linked to FINEST, on two intertwined and competing socio-technical imaginaries (STIs), namely the red STI of sustainable meat and the green STI of protein shifting, highlighting two crucial differences between them: their views on what emissions are problematic and what reduction they consider desirable.  

Eduardo Desiderio presented ongoing FINEST research during LCA Food 2024 in Barcelona on 8-12 September, a forum on sustainable food systems where hundreds of professionals from academia, industry and the public sector gathered to discuss innovative approaches such as life cycle sustainability assessment in food systems.
