ERS hosted a two-part conference to investigate how behavioral economics can guide strategies to increase the effectiveness of federal food and nutrition policies and programs. Day 1 (April 15) featured presentations on new ERS-funded research that applies behavioral economic concepts to a wide range of issues on improving diet and health. In partnership with the Food and Nutrition Service, Day 2 (April 16) concentrated on behavioral economic applications to USDA school meal programs. The conference was held on April 15 and 16, 2010, in the Frederick Waugh Auditorium at the Economic Research Service, 1800 M Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20036. A webcast is available.
