British Nutrition Foundation

The Foundation promotes the nutritional well being of society through the impartial interpretation and effective dissemination of scientifically based nutritional knowledge and advice. It works in partnership with academic and research institutes, the food industry, educators and government.

The Foundation influences all in the food chain: government, the professions and the media. The Foundation is a charitable organisation that raises funds from the food industry, government and a variety of other sources. With the help of professional teachers and support from the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Foods and the Department of Health, the Foundation has developed a Food and Nutrition programme for use in schools.

It is designed to be integrated with the curriculum requirements, particularly those concerned with Science and Design and Technology, and will enable children to acquire sufficient understanding to make sensible, well-informed choices concerning their own diets and lifestyles.
