Overview

The Tooty Fruity Vegie project was a two-year, health promotion program aimed at increasing fruit and vegetable consumption among primary school children on the North Coast of NSW.

The project aimed to achieve this increase by improving:

• Children's fruit and vegetable knowledge, attitudes, access and preparation skills.
• Parents' fruit and vegetable knowledge and preparation skills and their involvement in fruit and vegetable promoting activities in the schools and elsewhere.
• Teachers' attitudes towards teaching about fruits and vegetables in schools and their skills and confidence in relation to teaching about fruits and vegetables.
