Core themes of the debate overs resources are the built environment, habitation and food. Both efficiency and sufficiency have to be pursued in these key areas. Important sustainability goals will not be reached unless those areas are perceived from the perspective of sustainability.

As a response to these challenges we research social innovations for resource efficiency. We explore the meaning of resource-efficient lifestyles as daily practice of resource efficiency and then also the policy-implications of such lifestyles.
