Aina Stensgård is a researcher at NORSUS and coordinates the research area for food waste.

She has worked with food waste at NORSUS since she started in 2014.

Her research has included mapping of what and how much food we waste in Norway, the reasons why food waste occurs, and how we can waste less food across the value chain.

Aina is also a member of the EU Plattform on food loss and waste where she is active in the sub group for monitoring, consumer and action & implementation.

Aina is currently pursuing a PhD in behaviour change, focusing on interventions to waste less bread in households. The PhD is part of the research project Bread Rescuers.  

Aina is interested in how to achieve social and environmental sustainability within the food system through lasting behaviour change across different levels from the individual to society.
