Each Network project is listed below along with the CMD objective(s) that it supports. It should be noted that projects may support more than one objective.
Objective 1
To provide innovative conceptual models of changing consumer behaviour as a basis for future empirical and policy analysis
Objective 2
To provide quantitative and qualitative assessment of factors critical to consumer food choices, on an ongoing basis and validated through the application of a number of consumer choice modeling tools.
Objective 3
In the context of applicable social, health and environmental policy objectives, to provide recommendations on optimal regulatory or incentive mechanisms, based on conceptual and empirical research findings.
