About the project
The project FOOD4kids aims to increase kindergarten's knowledge of food and how it affects both personal health and the environment. The project will last 3 and a half years and is financed by the Research Council of Norway.
Data will be collected from kindergarten children and staff in three European countries (Norway, Sweden, and Italy). These data will be used to compare food served in kindergartens and investigate children's knowledge of sustainability and on how food webs in nature work.
