The application development phase also drew on Hebden
et al.’s [56] development process for ensuring successful
app creation. The current study likewise used an iterative
development process marked by: involvement frompotential
participants and professionals from fields in marketing,
nutrition, and information technology; an exploration of
behaviour change strategies; and several tests of prototype
apps [56]. Given the ever-present nature of new technologies
such as smartphone apps and the recent growth in the
popularity of local food networks, great potential exists to
change healthy eating and local food behaviours through this
app.
