Enhancing consumer knowledge and awareness through nutrition education: A key step in transforming food systems towards consumption of healthier diets

Food systems: impact diets hence nutrition outcomes and are complex and involve a wide range of interdependent activities and actors with the consumer at the centre.
Consumer choices: influence how they acquire, prepare and consume food and play a significant role in the food system.
Empowering consumers: to demand healthier diets provides an opportunity to transform food systems towards healthy diets.
HealthyFoodAfrica (HFA): a project that aims to improve diets by reconnecting food production and food consumption in effective ways. This project works in 6 African cities in 10 Food System Labs (FSLs).
