Matsvinn i skolmatsalen : En studie om elevers upplevelser / Food waste in the school dining : A study on student's experiences

Köhn, Sara, Boode Nylander, Madeleine January 2020 (has links)
Bakgrund Av den mat som produceras slängs en tredjedel, vilket är ett globalt slöseri av miljömässiga och ekonomiska resurser. Den svenska regeringens mål är att halvera det nationella matsvinnet till år 2030. Sverige har en lång tradition av att servera skolmat till elever, vilket numera är lagstadgat. Det största matsvinnet kopplat till skolmåltiden är tallrikssvinnet, vilket man sett kan undvikas genom att vidta åtgärder.                                            Syfte Syftet med studien var att åskådliggöra vad som påverkade matsvinnet i skolmatsalen, ur elevens perspektiv.                                                                                                            Metod En kvantitativ enkätstudie genomfördes på elever i årskurs 9 på en högstadieskola i Sverige. Enkäten utformades i Microsoft Forms, med slutna och öppna frågor, främst kopplat till åsikter och attityder. Bearbetning av rådata gjordes i Microsoft Excel, där svaren analyserades och kodades. Resultaten redovisades i form av antal/procent, samt tabeller och figurer.              Resultatet visade att en majoritet av respondenterna uppgav att de åt i skolmatsalen. Den vanligast angivna frekvensen att slänga mat var ibland, och vanligast uppskattade mängd som slängdes var pyttelite. Upplevelsen av maten var att en stor påverkansfaktor gällande matsvinnet, medan matsalsmiljön påverkade i mindre utsträckning. Mer än hälften av respondenterna ansåg att skolan informerar om matsvinn. Vanligast angivna förslaget till minskat matsvinn var att ta mindre mat/ta det man orkar äta upp samt att skolan ska servera godare mat.                                              Slutsats Det mest avgörande orsaken till matsvinn enligt studien var matens bristande kvalitet och smaklighet. Genom ett ökat engagemang från ledningen, samt större utrymme för elevpåverkan och att lyssna på elevernas åsikter, kan ett minskat matsvinn uppnås. Kunskaper om matsvinn ger eleverna större motivation till att bidra med ett hållbart agerande. Hem- och konsumentkunskap som skolämne har en viktig roll i detta arbete. / Background One-third of the food produced is thrown away, which is a global waste of environmental and economic resources. The Swedish government's goal is to cut national food waste by halv in 2030. The largest amount of food waste associated with the school meal is the plate waste, which can be avoided by different actions taken.                                              Objective The purpose of the study was to illustrate what affected food waste in the school dining room, from the student's perspective.                                                            Method A quantitative survey study was conducted on pupils in year 9 at a Swedish compulsory school . The survey was designed in Microsoft Forms, with closed and open questions, mainly linked to opinions. Processing of raw data was done in Microsoft Excel, where the responses were analyzed and coded. The results were finally reported through numbers/percent, as well as tables and figures.            Results showed that a majority of the respondents stated that they ate in the school dining room. The most commonly stated frequency of throwing food was sometimes, and the most commonly estimated amount thrown was tiny. The experience of the food was a major influencing factor regarding food waste, while the interior affected to a lesser extent. More than half of the respondents felt that the school provided information on food waste. The most commonly stated proposal for reduced food waste was to take less food/take what onecan eat and that the school should serve better food.                                                    Conclusion The most crucial factor of food waste was the lack of quality and tastiness. Through increased commitment from the management, as well as greater scope for student influence, a reduced food waste can be achieved. Knowledge about food waste gives students greater motivation to contribute with sustainable behavior. Home and consumer studies as a school subject plays an important role in this work.

An assessment of the nutritional adequacy and quality of food provided to adult psychiatric patients in public psychiatric hospitals in the Eastern Cape

January 2020 (has links)
Magister Scientiae (Nutrition Management) - MSc(NM) / Introduction: The significant link between mental health and nutrition throughout one’s life cannot be overstated. Yet this strong association is often neglected in the public healthcare sector in South Africa, particularly in the case of people who are being treated for various types of mental illness. It is therefore important to prioritise nutrition care through efficient and effective hospital food services in public psychiatric facilities. Although hospital settings are often perceived to provide efficient clinical care, the food provided to patients by hospital food service units is often criticised for being bland, repetitive and/or unhealthy. At times, too, inadequate food budget allocations by provincial health departments or poor supply chain management practices result in patients receiving inadequate quantities of food at mealtimes, which might lead to their becoming malnourished during their hospital stays. For psychiatric patients in particular, malnutrition can have serious short and longer-term consequences.

Discussing the role of interaction design within design for sustainability

Neumann, Stephanie January 2020 (has links)
This paper describes a research through design project for reducing student’s food waste in a Swedish high school canteen. It was found that the design outcome is influenced by how a designer approaches the chosen problem space of sustainability. Building only on the existing perspectives of eco-feedback technologies and persuasive frameworks within interaction design, immensely constrains the role interaction design could take in working with sustainability issues. The complexities of sustainability related problems should be seen as a rich opportunity space to approach by design. Ethnographic research methods should be used when designing for sustainability. Found strengths of interaction design within design for sustainability were the data measurement of consumption and change. Together with the communication possibilities of digital and connected devices. The design outcome became a digital tool for kitchen staff to use when evaluating the lunch menu. The research also led to four suggestions for future design projects.

Rodgers, Mary Virginia 06 1900 (has links)
The present study was made without benefit of poster, films, bulletin board, or other teaching aids. It was undertaken to determine the nutritive values of the menus served, the foods selected by the plate lunches, and the amount of food wasted in two elementary, two junior high, and two senior high school lunch cafeterias in the City of Dallas during a six month period of time.
