This research aims to understand how fridges interact with household dynamics in the generation and prevention of food waste, and how they might function as a site to develop pathways towards more sustainable food futures.Attention to fridges and sustainability has historically focused on technological improvements for energy efficiency and move away from CFCs. More recently they have been analysed as a conduit for food waste practices (Evans, 2012; Wait & Philips, 2015; Heidenstrom and Hebrok, 2021). This project will take a step further and explore the active role of the fridge in generating and preventing food waste in the household. Informed by actor-network theory (Latour 2005), the research design involves three overlapping 'segments' - related to the past, the present, and possible future - that place the fridge at the centre of the analysis. By exploring the co-evolution of fridges and household food waste, the study will shed new light on the prospects for more sustainable futures.

这项研究旨在了解冰箱如何与家庭动态相互作用，产生和防止食物浪费，以及它们如何作为一个网站，以开发更可持续的食品未来的途径。对冰箱和可持续性的关注历来集中在能源效率的技术改进和远离CFC。最近，它们被分析为食物浪费行为的管道（Evans，2012; Wait & Philips，2015; Heidenstrom和Hebrok，2021）。该项目将进一步探索冰箱在产生和防止家庭食物浪费方面的积极作用。根据行动者网络理论（Latour 2005），研究设计涉及三个重叠的“部分”-与过去，现在和可能的未来有关-将冰箱置于分析的中心。通过探索冰箱和家庭食物垃圾的共同进化，这项研究将为更可持续的未来前景提供新的启示。
