Food Literacy Education Guide
Despite food being a tangible, relevant and powerful tool for engaging students, food literacy is an often-neglected component of school food programs. This guide aims to help educators and policy makers see the possibilities of food-based learning – planting seeds of inspiration and providing a better understanding of what food literacy is, and how to incorporate it more holistically into the school, the classroom, and the curriculum. It also provides links to dozens of practical resources: food literacy units and lessons, learning and evaluation tools, best-practice recommendations and more.
