We're thrilled to share some fantastic outcomes of Pick of the Crop, a whole school healthy eating initiative developed by Health and Wellbeing Queensland to increase opportunities for primary school students in Queensland to learn about and eat more vegetables and fruit. This initiative has been making a remarkable impact on primary school students in Queensland and we are so proud to share our latest research. 🍎🌱    An evaluation, conducted by UQ Institute for Social Science Research and released late last year, unveiled significant positive changes in schools across Bowen & Burdekin, Bundaberg & Wide Bay, and Logan schools. Teachers reported remarkable progress, highlighting the effectiveness of #PickoftheCrop in creating a healthier school environment.   In addition to the established schools, our initiative has successfully extended its positive influence to new schools. Here are some of the key improvements reported:   • More opportunities for students to consume vegetables or fruit 2 or more times per day • 46% increase in students’ knowledge about vegetables and fruit rated as good or excellent. • Students’ attitudes rated as good or excellent towards trying vegetables and fruit increased by 49%   For more information and to read the full report 👉 https://lnkd.in/gasyTKBT   We thank all the teachers, students, and partners who have contributed to the success of Pick of the Crop.
