The Department of Tourism and Hospitality of Bournemouth University has very well established research on f<\/span>ood, nutrition and wellbeing.\u00a0Staff\u00a0working in this area have a wealth of experience in both food service and nutrition, and managing projects ranges from large\u00a0scale to those for SMEs. Professor Heather Hartwell<\/a> and her team\u00a0have investigated a number of issues, including food wastage and how it might be reduced; and\u00a0alternative cost-effective feeding strategies, such as making a food choice at the time of consumption to help improve patients\u2019 food intake and increase their nutritional status. They have also explored obesity and the dietary habits of students. This provided invaluable information to allow service providers to optimise their approach. In addition, Dr Sean Beer<\/a>\u00a0has been researching food and authenticity from a cultural perspective, comparing and contrasting commercial and academic perspectives on the nature of authenticity and the role it plays within the hospitality, tourism and leisure industries. The discussion commences by looking at the complex nature of the relationship between food and ourselves as consumers and then goes on to examine how society seeks to regulate the authenticity of food by using terms such as organic, protected and local.<\/p>\n

Richard Ward<\/a>\u00a0Food and Beverage specialist at Bournemouth University\u00a0represented the Department and presented the award.<\/p>\n
