Are you an early career researcher working on sustainable food transitions?
NEST is a growing community of early career researchers from around the world, passionate about driving positive change in the field of food sustainability.
Whether you are exploring the transition from animal-based to plant-based diets, addressing consumer acceptance of new sustainable food technologies, or finding ways to reduce food waste, the NEST community would love to have you.
NEST was founded by Leonie C. Peiffer (Erasmus University Rotterdam) and Emily Bouwman (Wageningen University & Research). The community welcomes
members from diverse disciplines, including psychology, sociology, philosophy, marketing, policy, behavioural economics, and beyond. The aim is to create a safe, collaborative space for those starting out in the field.
All early career researchers (e.g., PhD, PostDocs) with a university affiliation are welcome.
NEST activities include:
🌱 Quarterly online meet-ups to present research and exchange ideas
🌱 Updates on relevant conferences and new research insights
🌱 Opportunities to brainstorm, network, and learn from guest speakers in academia and industry
