Green nudges in forest & agricultural systems: evidence, case studies & policy perspectives

The ForestAgriGreenNudge project announces its first online Policy Workshop, bringing together network members, academics, policymakers, and invited speakers from across Europe. The workshop will serve as an introduction to the project, its objectives, and its approach to promoting sustainable behavioural change in the agricultural and forestry sectors through the concept of green nudges.

Participants will gain a shared understanding of green nudges and explore how these behavioural interventions can support more sustainable decisions without restricting individual choice. The workshop will also showcase practical examples from project partners, highlighting lessons learned from research on forestry and farming practices, and illustrating the potential benefits and challenges of applying green nudges in different national and policy contexts.

A central focus of the workshop is the identification of current and emerging policy needs. Through interactive discussions and collaborative exercises in which participants will share experiences from their countries, discuss farmer and forester needs, and explore opportunities to strengthen policies that encourage sustainable choices.

By connecting research, practice, and policy dialogue, the session aims to lead the foundation for continued collaboration and learning among European stakeholders in agriculture and forestry.
