What?
My book will advance understanding of the potential role of vegetarianism in fostering sustainability. Specifically, it will contribute insights and broaden the ambit of the hitherto limited, comparative, and empirically-based literature on vegetarianism and will establish an interdisciplinary research agenda for exploring how forms of food regulation can sustain vegetarianism.
Why?
Its findings will be essential for understanding how vegetarianism, as a key contributor to the reduction of global greenhouse gases, is understood, practiced, and contested at different social scales.
How?
The methodology that I apply in my research is multi-sited and based on mixed methods, with quantitative methods playing an auxiliary role within an overarching interpretivist qualitative framework.
