Original publisher: [Washington, D.C.] : U.S. General Accounting Office, [2004] OCLC Number: (OCoLC)55150355 Subject: Nutrition policy -- United States. Excerpt: ... nonprofit agencies. Neither program has a legislative requirement to provide nutrition education, and unlike EFNEP and the other FNS programs, neither NSLP nor CACFP has funding specifically to support nutrition education. However, USDA established the Team Nutrition initiative in 1995 to promote nutrition education activities through these 14 child nutrition programs. Specifically, Team Nutrition provides grants to states and develops and disseminates technical assistance materials on how to build school and community support for healthy eating, physical activity, and a healthy nutrition environment. However, while Team Nutrition, which was funded at $ 10 million in fiscal year 2002, funds the development of nutrition education messages and materials, it does not fund the staff and other resources needed to deliver nutrition education. 14 USDA intended Team Nutrition to work in conjunction with the Nutrition Education and Training ( NET ) Program in an effort to improve the nutrition and eating environment of schools and day care centers. NET helped provide the manpower and resources needed for state and local officials to coordinate child nutrition programs with nutrition education activities in schools and child care centers. However, funding for the NET program has not been appropriated since fiscal year 1998. Team Nutrition now serves a primary, rather than supportive, role in providing nutrition education through NSLP and CACFP. Page 11 GAO-04-528 Nutrition Education
