Tracking the growth and impact of the ready-to-eat meal delivery system in Belgium

This project will investigate the determinants and implications of regularly using ready-to-eat meal delivery services amongst consumer [WP1] and also the impact on local food retailers [WP2]. Recognising that meal delivery services will likely expand in the coming years, the knowledge generated will be used to develop solutions to encourage positive changes within the meal delivery system (e.g. easier ordering of affordable healthy meals, better platform-store owner relationships to promote local business prosperity) [WP3]. A critical focus will be to investigate how the ready-to-eat meal delivery system can be strengthened to ensure its expansion does not lead to a widening of dietary inequalities.
