Niina Sundin

Presentation
My background is in environmental engineering as well as nutrition and dietetics. I enjoy multi-disciplinary work, and in my PhD project, I am conducting a sustainability assessment of food donation as a food waste management option. I am assessing all three aspects of sustainability including environmental, economic, and social by using multiple methods, such as life cycle assessment, material flow analysis, survey, and 24-h dietary recall. I am also involved in one of the work packages of LowInFood (EU project), where the aim is to test whether pedagogic meals can reduce food waste in school canteens.
