EEIG ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE’s Post

A simple nudge goes a long way 🌱. This reminds me of the vegetarian default Christina Gravert and I implemented for lunch in our Nudging courses for Impactually. Ok, technically it was not a nudge but a mandate, since we took out the meat option altogether. But participants were always happy with the food and didn’t think twice about it. And hopefully we did our small part in reducing our environmental footprint. If you are organizing an event, a conference, or a course, and you also have the ambition to act sustainably, consider having a vegetarian default. It’s easy and cheap to implement, and most of all - effective. ✅ #sustainability #sustainablediet #vegetarian #plantbased #climatechange #default #behavioralscience #nudge #behaviorchange #impact

Just a quick, strong reminder that when it comes to shifting consumer behavior toward sustainable food choices, the most powerful changes will likely come from applying behavioral economic principles that don't remove options for consumers; instead, they simply nudge consumers in a positive direction. In this case, simple choice architecture with "defaults" leads to a sizeable shift toward sustainable food choices. We've seen this in real world examples, such as the work done around plant-based defaults in NYC hospitals (Rachel Atcheson). Since it's incredibly hard to make behavioral econ in food "VC backable" we don't often see much funding going toward this type of change. But VC is just a tool in the toolshed of the capital stack. Not the only source of capital out there. So, for anyone out there focused on impact > returns (e.g., non-profits, foundations, etc.), I'd strongly advise looking into funding behavioral econ approaches to sustainable food consumption. And for anyone in the behavioral econ space (Sophie Attwood), if you have suggestions on the best organizations or projects to fund doing great work in this area, it would be great to hear about them!

As we strive for a healthier world, let's not forget the critical link between nutrition and sustainability. The food choices we make have a profound impact on our planet's resources, climate, and ecosystems. 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 is not just a trend, it's a necessity. By choosing sustainable food options, we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve water and land, promote biodiversity and support local communities.

The #FoodandBeverage industry is experiencing a transformative moment, driven by global megatrends and shifting consumer priorities. At the heart of this evolution is the concept of "Food as Medicine" (FaM), which emphasizes nutrition as a proactive approach to health and wellness. With global health-related costs due to poor diets estimated at $8.1 trillion (The State of Food and Agriculture, 2020) we need this!

"Nutrition: It's More Than a Meal—It's the Foundation of Life, Community, and Sustainability.🌱 The "Beyond the Table" concept for National Nutrition Month highlights that nutrition extends beyond just the food we eat, encompassing its impact on our overall health, communities, and the environment. It encourages us to consider how our dietary choices influence physical and mental well-being, contribute to environmental sustainability, and foster cultural and social connections. By making informed, responsible food choices, we can optimize our health, conserve resources, and strengthen community bonds. This concept is a call to view nutrition as a powerful tool for creating a healthier, more sustainable, and connected world. ☑Checkout our page for more information. ☑Follow us Nerdy Grad ®️, Asian Journal of Nutrition & Food Sciences for more updates. #nationalnutritionmonth2024 #nutritionweek #beyondthetable #nutritiousdiet #sustainable #mindfuleating #healthierlife #nutritioneducation #healtheducator #nutritionawareness #eatforhealth #longevity #eatforyourgoals #nutritiontips
