Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General
Food is a significant piece of culture. Many countries around the world offer guidance for foods and lifestyle habits to promote health. While the local or preferred foods may be different, the general food-based dietary guidance and goals to promote health around the globe are quite similar.Thirty-three Extension Homemaker volunteers attended “Healthy Eating Around the Globe" area leader trainings hosted by the Breckinridge County FCS agent in January and February 2024.
