????A new study by the Journal of Sustainable Tourism, shows that implementing a nudge such as redesigning hotel menus to place climate-smart, plant-based menu items first, hotels can significantly reduce their environmental impact. The lead author, Sofie Voss, from the University of Surrey said, "By simply restructuring how hotels present food options, they can enable guests to make more sustainable choices. It's not merely about reducing?meat consumption; it's about creating an environment where plant-based choices are the norm rather than the exception." ?? #plantbasedbydefault #behaviorscience #sustainablechoices #nudges #climatesolutions https://lnkd.in/gp6Fy2k3

?? Exciting News Alert! ?? Huge kudos to Mercy For Animals and the City Council of Sammamish, Washington, for voting to implement a plant-based-by-default catering policy for city events and meetings! ???? Another city joins the movement towards a more sustainable food system! ???? #PlantBasedPolicy #plantbaseddefault #plantbasedfood #default #sustainability #climatefoodsystem #sustainableevents #sustainablecatering #plantbasedcity
In collaboration with Mercy For Animals, the City Council of Sammamish, Washington, voted to create a plant-based-by-default catering policy for city-sponsored events and meetings! This is a huge win for animals, human health, and the environment. This exciting policy comes just a month after Los Angeles County also voted to prioritize plant-based foods. Do you think more cities should follow suit? By reducing the amount of animal-based foods and increasing the amount of plant-based foods the city purchases, more animals can be spared from misery on factory farms. ?? #Sammamish #Washington #Plantbased

Check out the new study by @BryantResearch, which highlights how simple changes in menu descriptions, promotions, and choices for plant-based foods can lead to significant shifts in human behavior. By making the best choice the easiest choice in various settings, such as restaurants, we can encourage more people to choose plant-based options and help restaurants lower carbon emissions. ?????? #research #plantbasedfood #default #nudge #behavioralscience #climatesolution #sustainability #foodsystems #plantbasedfoodbydefault
? The Power of Plant-Based Nudges We're excited to share game-changing findings on the impact of plant-based menu nudges in a real-world restaurant setting. Purpose: To explore how modifications in restaurant menus can nudge consumers towards plant-forward choices, addressing both environmental concerns and consumer behaviour dynamics Across various interventions, we observed significant shifts in consumer behaviour: ?? Dine-in interventions: descriptive and promotional nudges increased plant-based selections ?? Linguistic changes in menu descriptions boosted plant-based meal orders by 9 percentage points ?? Burrito of the Day promotion prioritised plant-based options without sacrificing overall sales Our study, conducted at the Gracias Granny restaurant in Mumbai, validates the effectiveness of choice architecture and offers actionable data for future sustainability efforts in diverse restaurant environments. It highlights the potential of menu nudges to drive meaningful shifts towards plant-based diets.
