Abstract

AbstractFood literacy education is essential for acquiring the skills and knowledge required to support healthy food interactions. However, there are multiple constraints impacting curriculum enactment in schools. This study explores these constraints in Queensland (Australia), giving voice to Home Economics teacher respondents. A mixed methods survey was conducted (n = 117) in February–March 2021. Eighty percent of respondents advocated for current curriculum change to support food literacy education, including incorporating more explicit practical food education, the transition of nutrition into home economics subjects, and the insertion of food literacy‐focused terminology within the curriculum.
