About Food Education Australia

Our aim is to reduce the risk and incidence of diet related disease through engagement, education and empowerment. Our conceptual framework for health promotion is based on a wellness approach (refer the dimensions of wellness listed below) that provides a comprehensive and integrated rationale for promoting health and well-being and preventing disease. Emotional Wellness Physical Wellness Social Wellness Intellectual Wellness Spiritual Wellness Environmental Wellness Occupational Wellness Financial Wellness Digital Wellness We place food in a relatable and behavioural context (psychosocial) rather than leading with nutrition or dietetic advice, in order to make learning relevant and a joyful experience. We concentrate on developing mindfulness and finding personal motivators as well as encouraging learning about other food related issues like food waste, food security, sustainable living, urban gardens and the environment. Our approach is collaborative and inclusive with an emphasis on co-design, peer-led learning, capacity building and the sharing of intergenerational skills within family or community groups. Projects include delivery of: Food Education activities, events and tangible learning opportunities. Digital education resources and micro-learning platforms. Employment pathways, work experience and small business start-up advice. Food-related events, food and beverage products and e-commerce platforms. (We were previously known as The Children's Food Education Foundation)
