Teens CAN: Comprehensive Food Literacy in Cooking, Agriculture, and Nutrition was designed with the intention of improving food literacy of high school-aged adolescents, typically aged 13–18 years. Food literacy is comprised of overlapping knowledge and skills that are required to maintain a healthy eating pattern. This includes understanding where food comes from and being able to prepare meals that meet nutrition recommendations. Food literacy has been conceptualized for Teens CAN into three overarching topic areas: agriculture, nutrition, and cooking.

Lesson plans align to education standards and support SEL competencies. Includes "brain breaks" to incorporate physical activity. Importance of eating food-group foods, food classification, healthy snacks, importance of breakfast, and farm to you. Curriculum is free to California teachers.
Available in digital and in print.
