Exhibition @ The Moor Market

Stop by our exhibition at the Moor Market while doing your weekly shop and learn how to eat healthily and sustainably in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis. Pick up recipes and top tips, play games, and share your thoughts on sustainable food, dietary choices, and the factors that influence what we eat.

Nutrition experts and sustainability researchers from the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University will be at the Moor Market on Fridays and Saturdays throughout the festival to showcase their projects and answer your questions about sustainable food, healthy diets and how to eat well on a budget.

Visit The 'Cost' of Food stand and join the conversation about eating sustainably during a cost-of-living crisis. Based on research from the ESRC-funded Navigating Food Insecurity and Environmental Sustainability project, this interactive exhibition explores public debates on food sustainability and invites you to take part in a series of fun games and activities looking at your own food choices, opinions and plans for the future. 

Play the sustainable diet card game to see how many sustainable food habits you have, vote on which sustainability activities you think are most important, and write your own pledge to share on our 'promises for the planet' wall. Drop by, share your views, and discover achievable ways to make your diet better for both your pocket and the planet! 

Research led by Dr Jordan Beaumont (Sheffield Hallam University) & Dr Beverley O'Hara (Leeds Beckett University)

Public health nutritionists Dr Jordan Beaumont and Dr Beverley O'Hara, from the Food, Eating and Health Research Group, have found that many factors influencing food choices are largely outside of individual control. Furthermore, well-meaning dietary guidelines can sometimes make people feel like failures when they do not meet them. How can we address this and improve the national diet? 

Come to this interactive exhibit to explore the complex factors that shape our diets, and learn how to eat well on a budget. Play the food choices game and speak with public health researchers about the simple changes you can make to improve the nutritional quality of your diet.
