Abstract

This chapter opens with a historical overview of how food and nutrition education evolved in Malta, looking at its original goals of life skills, health improvement and potential employment and the eventual diversification in focus and target learners in tandem with emerging needs and policies. It then offers a detailed description of the current provision of food and nutrition education in secondary schools, highlighting the prominent role of home economics and the contribution of other subjects such as biology; physical education; personal, social and career development; core science; and, more recently, the VET subjects hospitality, health and social care and agribusiness.
