Sisällön kuvaus

The survey studied Finnish residents' views on the contents of a food basket that enables a decent standard of living, as well as on food preparation and acquisition. The survey explores what kind of diet everyone should have access to in Finland in the 2020s.

First, respondents were asked to what extent various food‑related goals, such as good‑tasting food, occasional treats, and eating in accordance with one's convictions, are essential for a decent standard of living. Respondents also evaluated whether an example meal plan is suitable as a basis for a dignified life and commented on adjusting it toward a more environmentally sustainable direction.

Next, the survey explored views on considering the origin of food, preferring domestic products, and reducing the environmental impacts of one's diet. Respondents were also asked about practices related to food preparation, such as how often a household can be expected to cook dinner and what the primary healthy alternative to a home‑cooked meal would be. The survey further examined attitudes toward restaurant dining, preparing festive meals, and the use of alcohol in connection with meals. Respondents also assessed the necessity of various kitchen utensils for a decent standard of living.

Background variables included the respondent's age, gender, NUTS3 region of residence, household type and composition, education, main activity, type of employment, occupation (ISCO-08), type of housing, personal and household monthly net income, and subjective financial well-being.
