What does a sustainable food environment look like in an early childhood service?

From the food we serve to the experiences children have with food, ECEC services have opportunities to bring nutrition and sustainability together.

Our new Sustainable and Nutritious Food Environments in Early Childhood Education and Care Toolkit, developed in partnership with Deakin University, is designed to make that process more achievable.

The free resource helps ECEC teams understand sustainable food environments and explore practical approaches they can put into action.

Whether you're an educator, cook or service leader, the toolkit offers a starting point for creating meaningful change.

Nutrition and sustainability go hand in hand.

Today, we're excited to launch our new Sustainable and Nutritious Food Environments in Early Childhood Education and Care Toolkit, developed by National Nutrition Foundation in partnership with Deakin University's Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition (IPAN).

The free, evidence-informed resource brings together research and practical guidance to help early childhood education and care (ECEC) services embed sustainability into everyday food practices.

Designed for service leaders, educators and cooks, the toolkit offers achievable ways to support children's nutrition while caring for our environment.

We're also delighted to celebrate the launch in person today, bringing together those who have helped make this resource possible.

A big thank you to our partners at Deakin University and everyone who contributed to the toolkit's development.

Together, we can create food environments that nourish children and support a more sustainable future.

It's family recipes, cultural traditions, celebrations and memories shared around the table.
Even though National Nutrition Week has come to a close, we still want to carry on the theme of loving what you eat and making meals times about so much more then just food on the table.

Why does nutrition matter?

Nutrition is about more than what we eat. It plays an important role in our health and wellbeing, while food brings connection, culture and enjoyment to our everyday lives.

In this video, Fiona Kalaf, CEO of National Nutrition Foundation, shares why improving nutrition matters for Australia’s future and why meaningful change goes beyond individual food choices.

This National Nutrition Week, we’re highlighting the importance of transforming food environments to support accessibility to nutritious food for all Australians.
