dc.description.abstractIn an effort to reduce obesity, the Farm to Fork project implemented two interventions aimed at primary school children (aged 5-9) and their parents, with menu changes for school lunches and nutrition education for children and parents. Overall, project activities led to a 137% increase in children’s total daily consumption of fruit and vegetables. New educational tools developed by the project are available through the Internet. Analysis of changes in nutrition knowledge for children indicate a higher level of knowledge among the group that received both nutrition education and menu changes, compared to those in control schools.en
