After school learning never tasted so good! #TeamAshby joined SCUSD Trustee Michael Benjamin at Oakridge Elementary for a hands-on afterschool cooking class, where students whipped up a delicious cactus-and-corn salsa served on a tostada.

Towards a Shared Understanding of Food Literacy Across Europe

The big takeaway?
No one group can do this alone.
We need educators, policymakers, innovators, and citizens, all speaking the same #FoodLiteracy language.
Ready to be part of the movement?
Read the report: www.foodeducators.eu/news-and-eve...

#FoodLiteracy means understanding food's journey from farm to fork, its impact on our health, society & planet.
It’s not just a skill, it’s a tool for change.
Think: reducing waste, choosing sustainable options, and knowing how food systems affect our world.

#foodscience #farm2fork #academicsky

What if the key to fixing our #foodsystem isn't just about what we eat, but how much we understand about it? 🧪🍎📃

Evaluation of a Curriculum-Based Nutrition Education Intervention Protocol in Elementary Schools: Nonrandomized #feasibility Study Background: Improving children’s food literacy through school-based interventions can support developing healthy eating habits. Serious games, which are games designed for a purpose other than entertainment, have been demonstrated to improve children’s food literacy and dietary intake. Further evidence is needed to understand how serious games can be researched within in schools to support nutrition education. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the #feasibility of study processes, resources and management and conduct a preliminary assessment of scientific outcomes for implementing the serious game, curriculum-based nutrition education intervention, Foodbot Factory, in classrooms as part of research protocol. Methods: A non-randomized study determined the #feasibility of intervention implementation. Grade 4 and 4/5 classrooms were assigned to have nutrition education lessons for five days with either the Foodbot Factory or a control intervention. Outcomes were assessed in four #feasibility domains of study processes (e.g., recruitment and attrition rates), resources (e.g., time taken to deliver the intervention) and management (e.g., challenges with intervention delivery), and a preliminary assessment of scientific outcomes pertaining to the acceptability and impacts of the interventions. These outcomes were captured in semi-structured field notes completed by study staff and questionnaires completed by participants. Data were analyzed descriptively and using a paired t-test. Results: Four classrooms participated in the #feasibility study, with varying recruitment rates for schools (15%), classrooms (100%), parents (53%) and children (91%). The time required to implement the protocol was sufficient and management of the study was overall successful. Some challenges were experienced with classroom management and electronic data collection. After the intervention, children reported a positive affective experience (63%) and learning something new about healthy eating (76%). Conclusions: These findings indicate that the study protocol is feasible to implement to evaluate Foodbot Factory in a representative sample with select modifications.

Bottles of "This is Food"

#EfES thought for today...💭
Young people go into the shop & see plastic bottles labelled "This is Food". Chemically speaking, they may be right. But how incredibly sad. Where are the cultural links, the joy of taste, the different textures, or even the connection to Earth. We need #FoodLiteracy 🍏
