EATucation empowers teachers with ready-made Food Technology and Food & Nutrition resources for every school setting.
EATucation’s resources equip ākonga with life-extending food literacy, practical skills, and a strong foundation for NCEA, while exploring food’s connections to science, technology, sustainability, culture, nutrition, and health.
With 65 engaging, curriculum-aligned lessons, everything you need is ready to teach.
We have the responsibility and the means to ensure every tamariki in Aotearoa grows up food literate.
Food literacy is a taonga, one that strengthens lifelong health, builds more resilient communities, and reduces our collective impact on Te Taiao. Yet, due to systemic disparities and changing societal norms, we’re seeing a decline in food literacy, with 30% of premature deaths linked to diet.
It takes just one generation to lose a taonga and three to reclaim it. EATucation exists to reverse this trend.
By increasing the time tamariki spend learning about food, we can create a future where every child is equipped to make informed choices, care for themselves and others, and thrive in a changing world. Research shows that regular, bite-sized lessons in food and environmental literacy, starting in early childhood - lead to better academic, behavioural, and health outcomes. The time to act is now. Together, we can nourish a food-literate nation.
