Insights into parents' and teachers' support for policies promoting increased p...
Roque, L.; Campos, L.; Guedes, D.; Godinho, C.; Truninger, M.; Graça, J.Global environmental and public health challenges related to current food systems call for large-scale shifts towards increasingly plant-based diets, especially in Western meat-centric societies. School meal systems can play a role in these changes due to their widespread prevalence and multi-sectoral impact. However, there is a lack of evidence about how adults involved in the school meals system perceive scho...
How to enable healthier and more sustainable food practices in collective meal ...
Graça, J.; Campos, L.; Guedes, D.; Roque, L.; Brazão, V.; Truninger, M.; Godinho, C.Collective meal contexts such as restaurants, cafeterias and canteens can help accelerate transitions to healthier and more sustainable diets. However, evidence from intervention studies on these contexts lacks integration. This scoping review aimed to map determinants of dietary change in collective meal contexts across multiple settings, interventions, target groups, and target behaviors. The review provided ...
Promoting plant-based eating in meat-centric meal contexts: A field study
Guedes, D.; Brazão, V.; Roque, L.; Campos, L.; Godinho, C.; Truninger, M.; Vinnari, M.; Graça, J.Objective: Shifting from meat-centric to plant-rich diets may help to enable healthier and more sustainable food systems. Here we present the results of a 1-week intervention to promote plant-based eating in a meat-centric food context (i.e. canteen). Design: The intervention included environmental restructuring strategies (e.g. promotional materials and menu redevelopment) and improvements to the offer of plan...
Social sensing and human in the loop profiling during pandemics: the Vitoria ap...
Fernandes, J.; Silva, J. Sá; Rodrigues, A.; Boavida, F.; Gaspar, R.; Godinho, C.; Francisco, R.As the number of smart devices that surround us increases, so do the opportunities to leverage them to create socially- and context-aware systems. Smart devices can be used for better understanding human behaviour and its societal implications. As an example of a scenario in which the role of socially aware systems is crucial, consider the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. In this paper we present an innovative Humanin-The-...
Why so defensive? Negative affect and gender differences in defensiveness towar...
Hinrichs, K.; Hoeks, J.; Campos, L.; Guedes, D.; Godinho, C.; Matos, M.; Graça, J.Evidence consistently shows that men (compared to women) tend to be more attached to meat consumption, less willing to follow plant-based diets, and overall more likely to express defensiveness toward plant-based eating. This study expands knowledge on the meat-masculinity link, by examining whether negative affect toward plant-based eating helps explain why these gender differences occur. Young consumers (N = ...
Plant-based school meals as levers of sustainable food transitions: A narrative...
Roque, L.; Graça, J.; Truninger, M.; Guedes, D.; Campos, L.; Vinnari, M.; Godinho, C.Current food systems face immediate and complex challenges in feeding a growing global population. It is necessary to mitigate the environmental impact of food systems while ensuring food security across the globe. Drawing on the example of recent multi-sectoral approaches which focus on the interconnections between public health and the environment, this work offers a narrative review and broader conceptual fr...
Enabling sustainable food transitions in schools: A systemic approach
Graça, J.; Roque, L.; Guedes, D.; Campos, L.; Truninger, M.; Godinho, C.; Vinnari, M.Purpose Recent reviews and reports have highlighted the need for integrated, context-specific efforts to enable sustainable food transitions. This study aimed to identify pathways to promote healthier and more environmentally friendly food practices in school contexts, with a focus on increased plant-based eating. Design/methodology/approach The study used a systemic approach with data collected from relevant s...

Behavioural change box? Applying the COM-B model to understand behavioural trig...
Craveiro, D.; Marques, S.; Bell, R.; Khan, M.; Godinho, C.; Peixeiro, F.Objective: To understand the key mechanisms that support healthy dietary habits promoted by fruit and vegetable (F&V) box schemes, testing relevant behaviour change triggers identified under the COM-B model in an evaluation research study of a Portuguese F&V box scheme (PROVE). Design: Correlation study with a post-test-only non-equivalent group design based on survey data. The mechanisms underpinning the diffe...
Progress in Identifying High Nature Value Montados: Impacts of Grazing on Hardw...
Pinto-Correia, T.; Guiomar, N.; Ferraz-de-Oliveira, M.I.; Sales-Baptista, E.; Rabaça, J.; Godinho, C.; Ribeiro, N.; Sá-Sousa, P.; Santos, P.Due to their complex structure and traditional low-intensity management, Portuguese oak woodland rangelands known as montados are often considered high nature value (HNV) farming systems, and as such, they may be deemed eligible for subsidies and incentives by governmental and nongovernmental agencies. Too little is known about how the HNV concept might be applied to conserve complex silvopastoral systems. Thes...
