How to use

This resource helps students explore behavior change strategies for sustainable food systems. Students gain competencies in understanding dietary impact on environment, designing public health campaigns, and evaluating community-based interventions. They learn to connect individual actions with systemic change approaches.

The materials work well in courses on public health, environmental studies, or behavior change. Introduce when covering food systems sustainability or health promotion strategies. Use for campaign design exercises and impact assessment activities. Particularly valuable before examining food policy or sustainable consumption patterns.

Faculty should emphasize the connection between individual behavior change and broader system transformation, encouraging students to design scalable interventions that address both health and environmental goals.

Teaching format tip

Taking action

Support real-world application with appropriate scaffolding and reflection protocols. Students should plan interventions, implement changes, and analyze outcomes systematically. Use action components to bridge theory and practice while developing agency and practical competencies.
