Dr. Jonathan Kershaw, assistant professor of food and nutrition, will discuss sensory (taste) and messaging strategies to increase consumer acceptance of sustainable food systems. Although people increasingly recognize the need for environmentally-friendly foods, sustainability remains far behind taste, price, health, and convenience as a factor that influences food purchases. In this presentation, Dr. Kershaw will share examples of projects to improve the acceptance of perennial agriculture, aquaponics, and plant-based protein.
