Adherence

Distributing snack kits containing in natura or minimally processed foods (rice, beans, milk, fruits, vegetables) during school suspension serves as an effective Food and Nutrition Education (FNE) strategy to maintain food security and promote healthy dietary habits.

If you are managing food distribution for children during a disruption, prioritize whole, minimally processed foods like rice, beans, milk, fruits, and vegetables. This approach not only provides essential nutrition but also reinforces healthy eating habits, serving as a passive educational tool for families. Ensure the kits reflect local dietary traditions to increase acceptance.
