Plunkett Foundation, which supports co-operatives and social enterprises in rural communities, is tendering for a research partner.
In this role, the researcher will take the existing theory and research into consumer behaviour and turn it into a practical application relating to local food purchasing. The work will identify the most effective routes to changing consumer behaviour in the current economic and environmental climate, with focus on opportunities for community food enterprises, and how these can be used as sources of change.
The contract is for three months and work will begin in August 2010. The deadline for applications is 9 July 2010. For more information visit the Plunkett Foundation's website here.
