Brief: The Role of Community-Based Efforts in Promoting Sustainable Diets: Lessons From a Grassroots Meat-Reduction Campaign

This case study explores a community-based approach to meat reduction by tracking changes in food knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and choices over nine months.

This paper sought to track changes in households’ knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and food choices over a nine-month period.
