The Role of Nutrition and Culinary Education in Driving Healthy Behaviors - in and out of School

Empowering consumers to make healthy choices is becoming top of mind with public health professionals and educators, especially after the recent White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. And those habits need to start early to have a positive impact on health and behavior. Join us as we discuss how key stakeholders in the value chain of education (operators, teachers, administrators, and PARENTS) can work together to increase students’ nutrition knowledge and practice, empowering them to make healthy choices lifelong.

Join Dave Grotto and Chef Matt Jost who will discuss effective culinary and education concepts that are fun for students while engaging key stakeholders to support learning and behavior change. We will also be joined by our partners at Action for Healthy Kids who will provide data on the importance of nutrition education and preview some of the great resources to help educate both at home and in the classroom!
