Fruit ‘n’ Veg month aims to increase awareness of the need to eat more fruit and vegetables.

Schools have been conducting Fruit’n’Veg weeks or months for almost a decade in some states. Worksites are also participating in Fruit’n’Veg Month promotions. Fruit’n’Veg Month is scheduled for September in 2009. Available in WA, SA, NSW, ACT, QLD & TAS.

Crunch&Sip;® encourages children to eat fruit and vegetables and drink water every day. Schools implement a formal break allowing students to eat fruit and vegetables and drink water in the classroom. It is a healthy way for children to refuel, it aids concentration and mental and physical performance at school. It is suitable for adoption at worksites. Visit the Crunch&Sip;® website to find out more about a program.
