7/7 What this looks like in practice: map the system (actors + determinants + feedback loops), identify policy levers, and design for virtuous cyclesβ€”e.g., better guidance + trust + quality/safety confidence β†’ higher demand for redistributed food β†’ more redistribution β†’ more momentum.

I argue we must move beyond isolated β€œnudges.” Food waste/redistribution behaviours emerge from interacting incentives, regulations, infrastructure, norms, and perceptions. At the Competence Centre on Behavioural Insights (CCBI), we use a behavioural systems lens across the policy cycle.

My chapter contribution πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΊπŸ₯•: Applying behavioural systems analysis to help the EU reach legally binding food waste targetsβ€”reducing per-capita food waste at retail + consumption by 30% by 2030 (vs 2020). These targets are behavioural at their core.

Key findings (in one breath): resilience isn’t just awareness or infrastructure. It’s also aspiration, affordability, habit, equity, Indigenous knowledge, and the social structures that make some choices easyβ€”and others impossible.

It's a collection of essays + case studies + applied behavioural research across Africa, Europe, and Asiaβ€”grounded in fieldwork with farmers, extension agents, communities, and practitioners working in food systems, insurance, nutrition & policy.

Core idea: climate outcomes are the sum of everyday decisions shaped by trust, norms, risk perception, identity, and institutions. The book asks why β€œclimate-smart” solutions stallβ€”and how behavioural + systems thinking can unblock adoption.

Wdym "over"? Do Americans think they can sit this out /w almost 50 percent of Americans electing this clown? Trump doesn't exist in a vacuum. Society has a role to play. Those actively supporting this government & those that are making memes & trying to make money "until it's over" are the problem.

At the EU Policy Lab, we concluded a long journey of co-design, experimentation, and engagement that helped shape proposals for EU-wide harmonised waste sorting labels. The process supports the implementation of new EU Regulation. Find out more here: policy-lab.ec.europa.eu/news/co-crea...

We live in a timeline where a US president talks like this: "I know better than anybody what’s good for the Market, and what’s good for the USA. If it weren’t for me, the Market wouldn’t be at Record Highs right now, it probably would have Crashed!... People don’t explain to me, I explain to them!"

Those he cannot bully or "commie scare" out of the way is lured with money and prestige - sufficient in the US for most - even scientists. Every scientists not directly and actively exposing and protesting this is complicit.
If this succeeds, US science will loose credibility for decades.
