Mission: Kids In Nutrition (KIN) empowers the younger generation to lead healthy and sustainable lives through nutrition and food sustainability education. Given that children develop habits by age nine, KIN teaches kids about optimal nutrition and sustainability practices during their formative adolescent years. KIN targets marginalized communities due to the disproportionate risk of developing chronic diseases caused by educational and health disparities. Early food literacy education has a tremendous downstream effect on carrying healthy and sustainable dietary habits into adulthood, thus building a foundation for: 1) Chronic disease prevention 2) Health equity 3) Environmental impact awareness
