Food and Nutrition

The OzHarvest FEAST program is a year 5-6 curriculum aligned program to inspire kids to eat healthy, waste less and become change-makers in their community. 

OzHarvest identified an opportunity in the Australian Curriculum to bring together sustainability, food waste and nutrition education, creating a new and exciting program for Year 7 & 8 students.

For parents, educators and teachers wanting some easy and fun activities to get students thinking about healthy eating and reducing food waste, we have a range of hands-on activities to get you started from making chatterboxes, playing fruit and veggie Bingo or learning how to store food safely.
