The life-course implications of declining adolescent drinking. The project aims to identify ways to ensure that recent declines in adolescent drinking are maintained and reinforced as these cohorts age into young adulthood. It expects to generate new knowledge on the trajectories of youth drinking into young adulthood. Expected outcomes include new cross-national understandings of the predictors of heavy drinking in adulthood and an updated evidence base for the development of harm prevention po ....The life-course implications of declining adolescent drinking. The project aims to identify ways to ensure that recent declines in adolescent drinking are maintained and reinforced as these cohorts age into young adulthood. It expects to generate new knowledge on the trajectories of youth drinking into young adulthood. Expected outcomes include new cross-national understandings of the predictors of heavy drinking in adulthood and an updated evidence base for the development of harm prevention policies and interventions by governments and NGOs. This should provide significant benefits to Australia via reductions in the negative health and social impacts of heavy drinking for these cohorts across their lives. Read moreRead less
Pathways to agri-food supply chains that co-benefit people and nature. This project aims to improve biodiversity outcomes of agricultural food production and consumption, and expects to generate new knowledge about impacts of interventions and shocks on the environment, human health and livelihoods in agri-food systems. This will be achieved using an interdisciplinary approach that accounts for uncertainties in links between farmers, suppliers, consumers and supply-chain outcomes. The expected o ....Pathways to agri-food supply chains that co-benefit people and nature. This project aims to improve biodiversity outcomes of agricultural food production and consumption, and expects to generate new knowledge about impacts of interventions and shocks on the environment, human health and livelihoods in agri-food systems. This will be achieved using an interdisciplinary approach that accounts for uncertainties in links between farmers, suppliers, consumers and supply-chain outcomes. The expected outcome is a value of information framework for identifying nature-friendly policies and actions with co-benefits for human well-being. Benefits include sustainability pathways with win-win outcomes for people and nature, and improved ways of meeting international commitments such as Sustainable Development Goals.Read moreRead less
Understanding the impact of nature imagery on healthy food choices. This project aims to use an interdisciplinary approach to further the understanding of factors influencing food choice in digital environments. There has been a gradual shift in consumer food choice environments from in-person to digital settings, including smartphone apps and online websites. This project expects to generate new knowledge on how background images used in digital interfaces could be exploited to promote healthy ....Understanding the impact of nature imagery on healthy food choices. This project aims to use an interdisciplinary approach to further the understanding of factors influencing food choice in digital environments. There has been a gradual shift in consumer food choice environments from in-person to digital settings, including smartphone apps and online websites. This project expects to generate new knowledge on how background images used in digital interfaces could be exploited to promote healthy food choice. This can provide important benefits to the Australian society by informing guidelines and policies for the design of digital food choice environments (e.g., online grocery shops, food delivery apps, school canteen ordering systems) and digital marketing and retail strategies.Read moreRead less
