Dual-Label Intervention to Promote Low-Carbon and Healthy Food Choices in a University Cafeteria
This study aims to evaluate whether a dual-label intervention, combining carbon -coded footprint color labels and calorie information, can promote low-carbon and healthier food choices among university students in a real-world cafeteria setting. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted with approximately 200 participants, who will be assigned to either an intervention group (with labels) or a control group (without labels). The study a consists of 2-week baseline period, a 4-week intervention period, and a 2-week a follow-up period. The primary outcome is the mean carbon footprint level of selected meals, and secondary outcomes include nutritional quality, body composition, and changes in environmental and health awareness.
