Food sustainability is a significant global concern with drastic change required to mitigate complex social, environmental and economic issues like climate change and food security for an ever increasing population. In this paper, we investigate the roles that digital interactions might play in bringing about more sustainable food consumption practices. To inform this exercise, we set out to un...

Deep structural and sustained change is necessary to tackle contemporary environmental challenges. How such change emerges and can be governed has been explored through the notion of sustainable innovation journeys. To date research had conceptualised such journeys as transitions to more sustainable socio-technical systems, e.g. mobility, shelter, food and farming. However, there is a paucity o...

Despite that, the Ethiopian government promotes the use of those chemicals in an attempt to increase yield and improve farmer’s livelihoods. On the other hand, environmental researchers argue that, equivalent yield can be obta...

Increasingly calls for more sustainable construction have occasioned more actions towards sustainability. A meaningful sustainable construction is inimical without significant cultural and behavioural change in how the construction industry manages its safety issues. It is based on these calls that this paper assesses the practical approach to sustainable construction practices through safety c...

While Product Service Systems (PSS) are not inherently sustainable, they may form part of the mix of innovations that contribute to the development of more sustainable futures. However, whether the current trajectory of PSS research, with its emphasis on universal frameworks and standardization adequately reflects and builds upon PSS diversity revealed by case study research may be questioned. ...
