Queensland Food Literacy Project

Helen Vidgen and Dr Danielle Gallegos of QUT School of Public Health will outline this exciting new project that seeks to identify the food literacy skills required by young people to improve nutritional practices. The project will explore the interaction between food literacy skills and healthy eating behaviours. The project should be of great interest for all home economists, with one of the outputs being a set of recommendations regarding critical success factors for strategies that can improve food literacy competencies in young people.

After brunch, guests are invited to stay for the HEIA(Q) Annual General Meeting.
