Résumé : | Many approaches (e.g., formal modelling, Futures Studies) taken to understanding global food futures tend to treat the consumer as an outcome of the global food system, rather than a central component of it. Nonetheless, in order to address some of the forecasted problems (e.g., sustainable consumption), it has been consumer attitudes and behaviours that have been the target for change; as we illustrate through case studies, this has generally been ineffective. To help understand this, we introduce psychological research on attitudes, preferences and choices around food which suggests that each are influenced by a multitude of dynamics. From this, we discuss further the implications of multi-valent influences on choice, lability vs. reactance, and the requirements of agency and control, for the relative prospects of softer behavioural approaches (e.g., public campaigns, nudges) vs. hard interventions (e.g., mandates, taxes, tariffs, subsidies) to substantively change consumer behaviour. We also make some concluding remarks regarding the value of psychology in Future Studies work. |
