We’re honored to share this feature on Books & Cooks, an innovative program developed by the UF Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) and the UF Lastinger Center in the College of Education that combines literacy and nutrition education with hands-on cooking to help families establish healthy habits. The article also highlights how the initiative is expanding to include Type 2 diabetes prevention across Florida, a development we are proud to partner on.
Our collaboration with the Books & Cooks team is helping bring diabetes-friendly cookbooks into homes so that families can put healthy eating into practice. This partnership highlights the potential of evidence-based nutrition education in promoting healthier communities across our state, and we look forward to seeing the program’s continued success!
