Quality of Life: Application of the Concept and the Questionnaire for Evaluations in Food Systems

Produktform: Buch / Einband - flex.(Paperback)

The concept of quality of life has a wide range of applications in differentscientific fields and realms in life. To evaluate the link between the quality of life and food systems, a survey was conducted with the actors of an organic municipality in Södertälje, Sweden. This municipality is a pioneer in sustainable food production and consumption, research, planning and innovation. The survey results provided for a better understanding of how individuals affect and are affected by food systems. Organic consumers perceive local and organic food as healthier and more environmentally friendly than its conventional counterpart, and this perception typically impacts individuals’ perception of well-being. Quality of life is an important factor to consider when evaluating food systems, since it provides a person-centred approach in food systems’ evaluations. A questionnaire has proven to be an effective instrument to measure individuals’ quality of life and can be applied to food system evaluations, to facilitate the transformation process towards sustainable food systems. Food system transformation is essential to provide a high quality of life for individuals and society.weiterlesen
