Design and implement the National Food and Nutrition Education Strategy (E-EAN) at the broadest level to promote and motivate education towards an adequate food and nutritional security culture.

Reducing the number of overweight children under 5 years old and putting a halt to the increase in excess weight and obesity in women requires social mobilisation. Everyone involved needs to be informed, guided, coordinated and organized. To achieve this, the E-EAN will be implemented with the main objective of motivating and educating people towards thinking about Food and Nutrition in a new way, promoting good eating habits and practices, healthy lifestyles and a diet rooted in their local culture with foods that promote better nutrition and the proper development of young families. The E-EAN will contribute to fostering active participation in the community, seeking to ensure that all Honduran households play a role in nutritional security culture. It will also create mechanisms to strengthen the Ministry of Education and related areas through its implementation through revisions, updates and the creation of tools in order to publicize the project.

This objective is based on the proven ability of people to improve their own dietary behavior and nutrition. It also stands to encourage parents to independently act suitably in the long-term, passing on the health benefits to their children. This makes the plan good value for money, entirely viable and sustainable. E-EAN is becoming essential in countries affected by globalization and urbanization, where food systems are undergoing a dangerous transition to the consumption of cheap, processed foods high in sugar, fat and salt.
