Which program provides nutrition education training to teachers and food service personnel?

The Nutrition Education and Training Program (NETP) is specifically aimed at providing nutrition education training to teachers and food service personnel. This program focuses on enhancing the nutritional quality of school meals and improving the dietary habits of children by equipping educators and food service workers with the necessary knowledge and tools. By targeting these key individuals in schools, the NETP helps to foster a better understanding of nutrition, food preparation, and food service, which ultimately influences the health and wellbeing of students.

Other programs, while they may have their own niches, do not focus explicitly on training educators and food service personnel in the same manner as NETP. For example, the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) primarily provides food assistance rather than nutrition education, while the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) focuses on providing nutritious meals and snacks to eligible children and adults in care settings. The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) primarily works with low-income families to improve their nutrition and physical activity knowledge but does not specifically train school personnel.
