Food Safety Innovation Lab Webinar Recording from June 20, 2024
Social Behavior Change in Food Safety: Levers to Drive Food System Transformation
Progress in food safety is driven by behavior change. A better understanding of the beliefs, motivations, and economic pressures that influence food safety behaviors can yield more effective outreach programs and policy recommendations. This webinar will provide insights from Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Food Safety projects on food safety and social behavioral change among consumers, producers, and vendors in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal, and Senegal.
