Join a Nudge Training

Behavioral Science Workshop

What if a few small changes to a menu, recipe, or dining hall could significantly reduce GHG emissions, protect biodiversity, and save money — all without taking away a customer’s options? 

That’s the power of behavioral science, and in this interactive workshop, you’ll learn exactly how to put it to work.

Join us for a hands-on, interactive session that equips you with the Top 5 evidence-based Nudge Strategies to transform food environments. You’ll explore real case studies of nudges in action — from hospital food services and corporate dining halls to your favorite coffee shop chain and even a music venue. By the end of our time together, you’ll be ready to put these proven techniques to work in your local foodservice setting.

Who Should Attend

Climate-focused professionals, food advocates, food service staff, café and restaurant owners, city staff, corporate green teams, students, university faculty, and event planners hungry for practical solutions.

In just one session, you’ll:

• Discover WHY our food systems need to shift, through the lens of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
• Master the HOW with the proven Top 5 Nudges that gently steer food choices toward climate-smart options
• See real case studies of nudges in action — including hospital food service, corporate and university dining, global coffee chains, and music venues.
• Dive into the science behind why these strategies actually work
• Flex your “choice architecture” muscles in a hands-on menu redesign challenge (You’ll never look at a menu the same way again!)
• Connect with a community of like-minded changemakers after the training
• Have a chance to win prizes for your ‘choice architecture’ skills

You’ll walk away with practical, ready-to-use techniques you can implement immediately — and a whole new way of seeing every menu, buffet, and event RSVP you encounter.
