Study shows people have misconceptions about the environmental impact of everyday food
26th November 2025
Researchers at the University of Nottingham’s School of Psychology carried out a food categorisation task which involved 168 participants from the UK.
The study participants classified various supermarket food products into environmental impact categories which they defined and labelled themselves. The study participants were then shown each food product's scientific impact estimate on the environment and they stated whether they were surprised by how low or high each impact was.
The study findings showed that there were a number of misconceptions surrounding the environmental impact of food.
