Cultural & Local Foods: Creating Diverse Menus

Food, the one thing most humans can relate to regardless of where they are from, looks very different around the world. It can be used to learn about other cultures and agriculture. Discover cultural dishes and ingredients from around the world, how to incorporate local produce into your menus, and ways of engaging parents and the community to promote diverse healthy eating in early childhood. Define cultural foods and understand how to plan diverse menus.

  1. Hear how to source and serve local produce to meet cultural preferences.
  2. Gain methods to educate parents and the community in supporting diverse meals.
