New online training: Accelerating behaviour change in nutrition-sensitive agriculture from the SPRING project
The Accelerating Behavior Change in Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture online training is a one to two-day course for people who design and implement agriculture projects. It provides participants with knowledge and skills to help agriculture projects become more nutrition-sensitive, maximising the contribution of agriculture to nutrition in family, farm, market and community systems. Participants practice applying proven behaviour-change approaches to identify context-appropriate, nutrition-sensitive agricultural practices and to focus project resources effectively on increasing their use.
By the end of this training, participants will:
- Understand agriculture’s role in improving nutrition;
- Use guiding questions to assess which agricultural practices are most likely to contribute to nutrition in the project context;
- Know how to use behaviour-change methods to engage people, prioritise practices, reduce barriers to improved practices and create enabling physical and market environments for them; and
- Establish a commitment to developing a behaviour-change strategy for current and future work.
The interactive course guides participants through narrated slides, quizzes, exercises, handouts, videos and links to helpful resources. If you have any difficulty accessing the course, encounter any problems or have any feedback, please email us at info@spring-nutrition.org.
