Between market and alternatives: household food resilience in uncertain times is a three-year research project (2024-2026) aiming at the understanding of the households’ participation in conventional and informal food systems. These includes shopping, food self-provisioning, foraging, barter, gifts and other ways of obtaining food. The research focuses on the methods how food is being obtained and shared by the households and investigates everyday decision making along with people’s values and motivations. The results will provide novel insights into the households’ food resilience.

Projekt Mezi trhem a alternativami: potravinová odolnost domácností v nejisté době je tříletý výzkumný projekt (2024-2026), zabývající se zapojením domácností do formálních i neformálních potravinových systémů, což zahrnuje nakupování, samozásobitelství, sběr, výměnu, dary a další způsoby získávání potravin. Kromě způsobů obstarávání a sdílení potravin, se výzkum zaměřuje na každodenní rozhodování domácností a s tím spojené hodnoty a motivace. Výsledky výzkumu nabídnou nový vhled do potravinové odolnosti domácností.
