Short Description:

The transdiciplinary project IFkE is performed by the Marketing Department of the Kiel University under leadershiop of Prof. Dr. Stefan Hoffmann in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Katrin Rehdanz (Institute for Environmental, Resource and Spatial Economics, Kiel University), Prof. Dr. Dr. Ulrich Schmidt and Dr. Christine Merk (Kiel Institute for the World Economy) along with the Studentenwerk Schleswig-Holstein. Thus, it unites partner of the scientific disciplines environmental economics, behavioral economics and marketing/consumer psychology. The practice partner, the Studentenwerk Schleswig-Holstein, is in all project phases integrated. We will examine the potential of behavior economical instruments which can promote a climate-friendly nutrition within external catering. Therefore, consumption decision-making on the basis of given secundary literature data will be analyzed. Following on that, the project will develop and test different Nudging strategies for the reduction of meat consumption and thereon related greenhouse gases. These strategies shall improve the general understanding of the relation between a strong meat-based nutrition and climate change and shall promote the decision for climate-friendly meals.
