AT3 Healthy and Sustainable Food Behaviour Challenge and Blog Post
Assignment task type
Students will undertake a two-week food behaviour change challenge and submit a portfolio outlining the behaviour challenge (Part A) and a blog post (Part B).
Background
For this assessment task you will conduct a two-week Healthy and Sustainable Food Challenge (the Challenge). You will select two personal, current food behaviours and attempt to make these behaviours more healthy and sustainable. You will document this challenge in a portfolio (Part A) and then write a blog post (Part B) to communicate your experiences.
The overall aims of the assessment task are to: (1) develop an awareness of the food behaviour change process; and (2) communicate the experience to a non-scientific audience.
During the Challenge you will apply your knowledge of healthy and sustainable food behaviours and a health behaviour change theory (implementation intentions). You will analyse the successes and difficulties you encounter during the challenge, and document these as part of your submission. You may also explore concepts related to consumer behaviour and sustainable practices while reflecting on food choices.
When conducting the challenge, you will:
attempt to change two behaviours towards healthy and sustainable alternatives (ULO2, ULO3).
Explain how changing these behaviours can contribute to healthy and sustainable food systems (ULO2). You may refer to the concept of sustainable development when discussing sustainability outcomes.
Define goals and implementation intentions to help you achieve the desired behaviour change outcomes (ULO3).
Conduct the challenge over a two week period, applying the implementation intentions and documenting the process (using the provided worksheets) (ULO3).
Write a blog post (ULO4, ULO5).
