    Prevention is always better than cure; lifestyle and food play a critical role in disease prevention and management. The earlier a person starts to eat a healthy and balanced diet, the more he or she will stay healthy and be more productive.

    Education for Effective Nutrition in Action. The ENACT Course - Tutor’s version. Unit 2: Explaining food, diet and healthy eating 2015
    Also available in:

    The ENACT course provides an introduction to the practice of nutrition education. This is a “blended learning” course pitched at undergraduate level, requiring a mix of independent work and tutorial contact. Two CDs are available: one for students and one for tutors. The tutors’ materials include copies of all the students’ materials, as well as a Tutor’s Guide, some extra optional materials for some units, and a “Full Answer Key for Tutors” which gives answers and comments on all the activities and guidelines for marking assessed questions. There are also two more formal tests with Answer Keys. The Students’ materials include introductions and ten-and-a-half course units, each containing a Student’s Book with a unit glossary at the end and a set of Unit Resources, including some audio and video files. The course is based on a mix of independent work using the Student’s Book and Unit Resources, “Outside activities” which explore aspects of real life, including a mini Nutrition Education project, and tutorials. Two tutorials are foreseen for each unit.

    School-based food and nutrition education
    A white paper on the current state, principles, challenges and recommendations for low- and middle-income countries
    2020
    Also available in:
    School-based food and nutrition education (SFNE) helps schoolchildren and the school community to achieve lasting improvements in their food practices and outlooks; build the capacity to change and to adapt to external change; and pass on their learning to others. SFNE has also an important role in complementing efforts that are being made globally to improve food environments, and in empowering children and adolescents to become active participants in shaping the food system to be better able to deliver healthy and sustainable diets. Despite increasing interest for SFNE, the evidence that supports it and its potential, much of traditional SFNE, particularly in LMICs, is largely underfunded, not delivering results, and disconnected from other key interventions that aim to support the food, nutrition, environment, and education nexus. SFNE is under-resourced, with capacity development opportunities lacking throughout the school system. This White Paper is the first document of its kind, and it is based on the evidence, professional expertise, and field experience, lessons learned, and documented challenges of SFNE work in a variety of contexts. It presents the case for raising the profile and transforming the vision and learning model of SFNE. This document is directed firstly to a technical audience working in governmental organizations that deal with schoolchildren and adolescents and is also of interest to researchers, technical advisors, decision-makers, donors and investors, civil society, and UN organizations.
