What is food literacy?
Food literacy means having the knowledge to make informed food choices. It covers not just what we eat, but how we plan, select, prepare, and share our meals, connecting our daily eating decisions with a deeper understanding of food systems, health, and sustainability.
In today's world, we're bombarded with contradictory food information from countless sources. It can be overwhelming to sort fact from fiction or to know which advice to trust.
Our food literacy values
FoodUnfolded®, an EIT Food activity, receives funding from the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union, under Horizon Europe, the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation.

Transparency and trust
Everyone deserves clear, honest information about their food. We are committed to transparency, making it easy to understand where food comes from, how it’s made, and its impact on people and the planet.
Empowerment through knowledge
Knowledge is the first step towards change. By offering accessible insights, we empower people to make food choices that align with their health, values, and sustainability goals
Inclusivity and accessibility
Food literacy should be for everyone, regardless of background, age, or education. We create a welcoming platform that makes understanding food easy and enjoyable for all.
Solutions and positive action
We believe in the power of action. By focusing on real-world solutions, we encourage individuals and communities to take positive steps towards a healthier and more sustainable food system.
Community and connection
Food brings us together. We’re building a diverse community across Europe where people can connect, share, and celebrate the rich culture and stories behind food.
