Join us October 24 and October 26. This two-part series is for anyone working to increase access to healthy food in your community.

Part 1:
Tuesday, October 24, 10 – 11 a.m.

Spitfire Strategies will take you through the basics of applying “nudge” strategies to increase access to—and consumption of—healthy food in your community.

Nudging people into action
If you were asked to do something, wouldn’t you rather be nudged than nagged? Activation requires motivation: People must have more than information and opportunity; they must also have the will to act. Your communication and messages must first build will to spur action. Getting folks to go from knowing to doing requires activation—which doesn’t happen by accident. There are tried and true techniques that increase the chances of inducing the behavior you want. The knowledge base includes the latest research from behavioral economics and brain science—summarized as “nudge”—which tells us how to tap into both the conscious and unconscious thought processes of our target audience.
