Overview

The Coorong good food program is a collaborative initiative that promotes good food and nutrition in the rural Coorong community. As a result of this initiative several food outlets serve healthy food options, enabling community members and visitors to make good food choices. The program's objectives directly relate to positive health outcomes. It aims to:

• promote good nutrition to the community;
• encourage the consumption of fruit and vegetables and minimal processed food;
• promote healthy lifestyle behaviours e.g. vegetable gardening; and
• target the eating behaviour, nutrition knowledge and skills of children and their families.
