National Nutrition Month is observed every March and offers an opportunity to deepen our understanding of what nutrition truly means. While often discussed in the United States, nutrition is a global issue that affects child development, learning outcomes, public health, and long-term well-being worldwide.

March is a powerful month for connecting classroom learning to real-world issues. From nutrition and food waste to water and ecosystems, March offers meaningful opportunities to spark curiosity, critical thinking, and action among students of all ages.

American Heart Month (February) is the perfect opportunity to inspire students to see the connection between the foods they eat and their wellbeing. Our free educational resources make it easy for teachers to bring this conversation into the classroom through engaging videos, lessons, and guided discussions.

New research from Cambridge and Edinburgh universities proves ECP’s free education drives real-world action, in some cases shifting the norm towards more sustainable food choices from 29% to 73%. This data confirms our curriculum is a cost-effective, high-impact solution for teachers and those looking to support a more sustainable future.
