Abstract:
Ares et al 2023 discussed multisectoral strategies that practitioners could use to foster food literacy competencies (ie, relational, functional, and critical) across the lifespan. This letter encourages the authors to include digital food and nutrition literacy skills to help children and teens navigate a complex food ecosystem shaped by digital technologies. Existing digital food and nutrition literacy models and metrics could be adapted to enable young people to make healthy dietary choices within future sustainable food systems.
