Grace Tulysewski

Sustainable Diets in the Australian Context

I am a PhD candidate at The University of Adelaide’s Centre for Global Food and Resources, affiliated with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). I investigate how environmental sustainability is promoted on supermarket food products and the ways in which consumers engage with these messages. With a background in the natural sciences, I enjoy bridging environmental sustainability concepts with behavioural psychology and marketing theory to move towards more sustainable and fairer food systems for people and the planet.
