What can we learn from examples of local Thai food supplied to help consumers with sustainable and healthy eating choices ? (Season 1 Episode 8)
In Episode 8 of “Coffee with Charles” Charles Brennan visits researchers from Chaing Mai University in Thailand and continues with his informal coffee conversations with authors to demystify their recent research articles.
In this episode Charles speaks with Dr Ponjan Walter.
They discuss the recent research "Maybe eating more local food is what we need: qualitative views on plant-based food among Thai consumers"
SYNOPSIS
Can local plant-based foods provide consumer nutrition and global sustainability issues ?
Promoting plant-based (PB) food consumption can help achieve Sustainable Development Goals by encouraging nutritious diets. This research in Chiang Mai, Thailand, explores consumer attitudes towards PB foods. Findings show age-based differences in perceptions, with younger people viewing PB foods as “fake meat.” Highlighting local, nutritious PB dishes can boost acceptance and sustainability.
Stay tuned for the culinary revolution that's set to change the way we eat!
