    (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2016-03) Shimahara, Eduardo; Metelerkamp, Luke; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences. School of Public Leadership.
    ENGLISH SUMMARY: The Sustainability Institute in Stellenbosch South Africa is an institution dedicated to teach and promote sustainable development through different courses. Postgraduate, Masters and even PhD courses are offered in partnership with Stellenbosch University to students that come from many different countries. This participatory action research (PAR) project aims to investigate the role of food at the Sustainability Institute. Quantitative research and semi- structured interviews are used in order to understand what this institution consumes when it comes to food, and how the decisions about what to buy and/or consume are taken. Then, with the use of a Brazilian methodology (Elos) as a roadmap to PAR, all the staff at the Sustainability Institute are invited to play a game where they cook together and share the food in order to bring about reflection and action on this important theme relating to sustainable development.
