Cornell University’s Center for Behavioral Economics in Child Nutrition Programs (BEN) and Feeding America conducted a study that found nudges to increase the likelihood a healthy food item was chosen by guests in a pantry setting by 46 percent.

There is increased interest in applying nudge interventions in food bank and food pantry environments because nudge interventions:

  • Provide subtle nutrition information/education;
  • require little or no cost; and
  • assist in distributing more healthy foods (Foods to Encourage).
