Food Literacy Resources

Welcome to the Food Literacy Toolkit, created in collaboration with Dietitians in Public Health. This toolkit will act as a road map for connecting learning to your SNP!

Student Nutrition Programs (SNP) aim to make nutrient rich foods available to all students, with a focus on fresh vegetables and fruits. The combination of the availability of fresh produce and knowledge about why these items are part of a balanced diet is important to making healthy choices.

Food Literacy is:

• Knowing about food
• Having food skills
• Feeling confident about food when choosing, preparing and eating
• Making food decisions
• Strongest when you have a supportive food environment, food system, living situation and culture and traditions!
