LIKE-A-PRO_WP1_Deliverable_1.2_Built_food_environment_typology

Deliverable 1.2. reports findings of two systematic reviews that:- synthesize evidence for the built environment and propose a typology of built environment structures (e.g., supermarkets, groceries, restaurants) and their characteristics that hinder or promote consumers’ choices of alternative protein food (APF) (Study 1);- synthesize evidence for links between the geographical environment features (countries, regions, urbanization, locality) and consumer choices of APF (Study 2). In particular, in Study 1 we expand the built food environment typology proposed by Downs et al. (2020) to identify structures of built food environment (e.g., supermarkets, groceries, farmer’s markets, restaurants, schools, online vendors, etc.) and determinants that act as barriers or facilitators of APF consumers’ choices, operating these structures. In Study 2 we explore: (a) differences and similarities between European countries, (b) differences and similarities within the regions of European countries, (c) differences between rural and urban areas, (d) the associations between the “local” attribute of the product and the consumer choice indicators.
