The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has conducted the Dietary Education Projects at Childcare Centers since2015. This study provides preliminary data for early childhood dietary education programs, by evaluating the outcomes ofthe projects. This survey enrolled 212 participants whose children had participated in the projects, and 142 non-participants.
Comparing the perception of importance towards each educational program of the projects, dietary education programgained significantly higher importance than other subjects included, and was significantly higher in the participants than innon-participants. In the preference for food group survey for children, vegetable and seaweed preferences were higher amongparticipants than non-participants, indicating that participation in the dietary education projects contribute towards increasein preferences for vegetables and seaweed, which children generally dislike. No significant differences were observed inchildren’s dietary habits between participant and non-participant groups, thereby suggesting that the education projects wereinsufficient for inducing dietary habit changes. In order to accomplish effective improvement of dietary habits, the educationprojects need further improvements to achieve systematic and long-term plans.
