Project Main Goals:
The aim of this Project is the construction of conceptions on healthy food in contemporary societies where global change occurs in a fast pace. It concerns specifically Brazil and Portugal.
It aims to understand the polyphony of the multiple messages disseminating conceptions of healthy food and its relation with identity codes and food habits, in the scope of food, public Policies and culture.
Hypothesis is that the production of conceptions on healthy food follows a strategy of food ‘bricolage’ contributing to consumption, to identity codes and also to public policies.
It covers three lines of research under the theme of healthy food:
- Meanings constructed through food habits;
- Managers perceptions on promotion of healthy food and food safety;
- Dissemination of healthy food conceptions through marketing and publicity.
