Food Action: A Pilot Program for more Sustainable Food Habits

Food is a critical global resource that impacts all 17 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and a huge contributor to both problems (climate, environment, health) and solutions. The Food Action project engaged 5 countries in developing and testing a program to enable consumers to contribute to solutions. The project was deemed highly successful by the funders and could make a large and measureable contribution to sustainable development in affluent populations. It also revealed fruitful ground for further research and development, not least in the use of ICT to bring about lasting behaviour change.
