Team Nutrition is an initiative of the United States Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service. Our mission is to promote lifelong healthy food choices and physical activity by improving the nutrition practices of the USDA child nutrition programs. We work to provide resources to schools, child care settings, and summer meal sites that participate in these programs.
Team Nutrition uses three strategies to change behavior:
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans are the basis of federal nutrition policy, education, outreach, and food assistance provided through the USDA child nutrition programs. The Team Nutrition initiative helps schools, child care settings, summer meal sites, parents/caregivers, and children put the Dietary Guidelines for Americans into action through nutrition education, training, and technical assistance.
The MyPlate icon uses a familiar image - a place setting for a meal - to prompt consumers to build a healthy plate at mealtime. MyPlate also illustrates the five food groups, reminding everyone that these foods are the building blocks of a healthy diet. Team Nutrition helps communicate MyPlate messages to children and their caregivers through a variety of innovative delivery methods including hands-on activities, electronic games, songs, videos, lessons, stories, events, tweets, graphics, and gardens.
Team Nutrition delivers consistent nutrition messages to children and their caregivers through multiple communication channels:
