Supporting Food Literacy and Healthy Food Choices

Research

Working with Dr Rhiannon Day-Thompson, we approached Camborne Science & International Academy about a growing problem: teenagers eat more ultra-processed food (UPF) than any other age group. To tackle this issue we designed a whole-school intervention, built on habit-formation and nudge psychology, to shift pupil's diets toward real food.
