Changing Behavior to Reduce Wasted Food in North American Homes – Guide for Practitioners

Guide for Practitioners to Understanding How to Design Interventions Using Behavior Change Theory — Including Worksheets

Description

The guide was developed to help practitioners apply behavioral science to the design, implementation and evaluation of public-facing interventions that encourage households to reduce wasted food.

This tool offers a 5-Step Behavior Change Approach for applying theory in real-world settings, supported by a set of ten worksheets to guide users through each step.

An accompanying Workbook includes completed worksheet examples from real projects that illustrate the approach in practice, while expert tips provide guidance and inspiration.

Practitioners, local policymakers, communities and other key actors will find practical resources to design and implement actions and policies to stimulate behavioral changes to reduce wasted food.

This set has been prepared for the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) under the project Stimulating Behavioral Changes to Reduce Food Loss and Waste (FLW) in North America and Expanded Promotion and Uptake of Related CEC FLW Resources.
