Abstract	Food systems challenges are on the rise globally -- and so is the need for well-equipped food educators. Teaching food literacy from a young age is critical in transforming the food system toward healthier and more sustainable diets. Many teachers are not prepared, and thus lack the confidence, to discuss systemic challenges and complicated concepts such as circular economy, sustainable food production, and basics of food science with their students. The FoodEducators program offers easy to-use, ready-made, free lesson plans for food educators around Europe and beyond. The program is more than lesson plans; it is also enriched by the A Day in the Life series of agrifood profession videos, Career Days events, food education, behavior change-related proof of concept projects, and numerous background supporting materials for teachers. The goal is to empower teachers to feel confident talking about complex issues, such as food systems and food science, and showing students the vivid and colorful world of agrifood careers. (ERIC).
