Jamaica Island Nutrition Network

The Jamaica Island Nutrition Network was developed in 2014 and emphasizes the importance of collaboration among educators. This website contains valuable information around targeting the nutritional knowledge of students, institutions, and the general population. The main concern that this network targets is the “accuracy and currency of nutrition information that reaches the public and that impact the nutrition of students, both inside and outside the classroom”. This network works by collaborating with “teachers, nutrition advocates and strategic partners” in order to increase the amount of nutrition knowledge in the public including processes for sustainability. One service listed is on linking nutrition with agriculture to promote the use of locally produced foods for food and nutrition sustainability related to food security and the environment.
