4-H Youth Development

4-H Food and Nutrition?

Everyone eats, so everyone makes food selection decisions on a daily basis. The food and nutrition 4-H program helps participants make food and nutrition related decisions by helping them learn to make healthy food choices, improve energy and alertness, reduce disease and illness risks, and gain knowledge of nutrients. Major learning experiences are centered around nutrition, menu planning, food buying, preparation and food safety, careers, and cultural influences.
