To find out which factors are related to loneliness, own research was conducted. Data was collected with an online questionnaire, and the sample contained 1 079 respondents of Czech university students. Firstly, it was found that the UCLA scale for measuring loneliness is a valid tool due to its positive and high correlation with the CES-D 8 depression scale (r = 0,629). Secondly, it was also proven to be a reliable tool for measuring loneliness, with Cronbach's Alpha reaching 0.93.

Hanzlová, Radka
The CVVM also included a large block of questions concerning local food in the special Food 2020 research focused mainly on food waste, shopping, and consumer behaviour of Czech citizens.\nOnly three-tenths (30%) of the public in the Czech Republic were interested in the topic of local food, while the majority (69%) were rather not interested or not interested at all.\nThe most important criterion, which, according to the Czech public should be met by the "local food" label, is the information about the place where it was produced (20%) and subsequently that it should be what is considered a quality food (16%).\nThe majority (61%) of the Czech public believed that there was a shortage of local producers / farmers in the vicinity of their place of residence.\n\nThe respondents usually perceived support for local food production from the EU, the Czech Republic, the region and the micro-region as insufficient.

Hanzlová, Radka
In a special study called Food 2020, CVVM SOÚ AV ČR asked for the opinions and attitudes of the Czech public on the issue of food wasting. One part was focused on the purchase of imperfect fruits and vegetables. \n\nIf there were imperfect and perfectly shaped pieces of fruits and vegetables placed next to each other, 59% of the respondents would chose the perfect one, provided they had the same price.\n\nAs for the estimate of the amount of fruits and vegetables that do not reach consumers at all due to their appearance, the correct share (i.e. 20 to 30%) was estimated by almost two-fifths (37%) of the respondents.
