In England, food education is a crucial component of the Design and Technology (D&T) curriculum, which is part of the broader National Curriculum. Design and Technology education aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge to creatively engage with real-world problems and design solutions (BNF 2019). Food education within D&T focuses specifically on developing students' understanding of nutrition, cooking techniques, food hygiene, sustainability, and food-related issues.
