    Just Food for kids? School food management models and sustainable procurement in France and Germany
    (2025) Hoinle, Birgit; Parot, Jocelyn
    Biodiversity loss, climate change, rising indices of food insecurity, and increasing amounts of food waste underscore the need for a transition toward more sustainable and just food systems. Public food procurement can be considered an important leverage point in sustainable transition processes. Based on a conceptual framework that combines sustainability, just transition, and the role of public food procurement, this study focuses on the role of municipalities in France (Normandy and Brittany) and Germany (Bavaria and Baden‐Württemberg) and analyzes their sustainability efforts. Seventeen urban and rural municipalities have been selected as they all engage with the issue of sustainable food but employ a variety of different models of school food management. Our methodology is based on a comparative approach, combining literature analysis and qualitative expert interviews with stakeholders from French and German local municipalities. Our analysis focuses on the ecological, economic, and social dimensions of sustainability, including organic share, food waste, local food, accessibility, diversity, education, and participation. Our research aim is to identify potentials and challenges in just food system transitions and appropriate policy measures for promoting sustainable public procurement in school canteens. The results show that direct public management models, that are not externalized through outsourcing to private catering companies, have more potential for defining high organic standards and for integrating local food into regional value chains.

    Stigmatisation of gambling disorder in social media: a tailored deep learning approach for YouTube comments
    (2025) Singer, Johannes; Singer, Johannes; Gambling Research Center, University of Hohenheim, Schwerzstraße 44, 70599, Stuttgart, Germany
    Background: The stigmatisation of gamblers, particularly those with a gambling disorder, and self-stigmatisation are considered substantial barriers to seeking help and treatment. To develop effective strategies to reduce the stigma associated with gambling disorder, it is essential to understand the prevailing stereotypes. This study examines the stigma surrounding gambling disorder in Germany, with a particular focus on user comments on the video platform YouTube. Methods: The study employed a deep learning approach, combining guided topic modelling and qualitative summative content analysis, to analyse comments on YouTube videos. Initially, 84,024 comments were collected from 34 videos. After review, two videos featuring a person who had overcome gambling addiction were selected. These videos received significant user engagement in the comment section. An extended stigma dictionary was created based on existing literature and embeddings from the collected data. Results: The results of the study indicate that there is substantial amount of stigmatisation of gambling disorder in the selected comments. Gamblers suffering from gambling disorder are blamed for their distress and accused of irresponsibility. Gambling disorder is seen as a consequence of moral failure. In addition to stigmatising statements, the comments suggest the interpretation that many users are unaware that addiction develops over a period of time and may require professional treatment. In particular, adolescents and young adults, a group with a high prevalence of gambling-related disorders and active engagement with social media, represent a key target for destigmatisation efforts. Conclusions: It is essential to address the stigmatisation of gambling disorder, particularly among younger populations, in order to develop effective strategies to support treatment and help-seeking. The use of social media offers a comprehensive platform for the dissemination of information and the reduction of the stigmatisation of gambling disorder, for example by strengthening certain models of addiction.
