Research implications

FindingImplication
Identifying the school lunchbox as an object connecting home preparation and school consumption practices
  • Showcases how tracing objects through practices can identify where bundles form across time and space

  • Enhance food and nutrition practice by informing how the context of schools as a social site infiltrates the home environment and how the context of the home environment impacts what is brought to school and consumed

Highlighting the co-dependent nature of food practices
  • Shaping future research agendas and informing public policy on the need to account for preceding “upstream” food practices when attempting to shape “downstream” performances

Application of practice bundling to children’s everyday food worlds
  • Provides a tangible construct to assist in explaining how and why everyday practices occur, why some dominate over others, and how to reproduce or disrupt the connections between them

  • Identified how meanings, materials and competence either support harmonious or create conflicting bundling

  • Harmonious bundling findings may be used to identify where intersectoral partnerships may successfully form and become mutually beneficial

Identifying how practitioners may use dominant everyday practices to increase food practices performances
  • Enhance food and nutrition practice by highlighting where typically recessive food practices may be integrated into harmonious bundles

  • Inform public policy on where governance structures may assist recessive practices to be practiced by prohibiting dominant practices from being practiced at the same time and space
