Nutrition Education in Italy

The most active work on nutrition education in the ‘compulsory’ (primary and lower secondary) schools of Italy is carried out by the AAI (Amministrazione per le Attivita Assistenziali Italiene ed Internazionali — Administration for Italian and International Welfare Activities). When it was first formed, this body was merely a Delegation of the Italian Government working in liaison with UNRRA, but it is now controlled by the Ministry of the Interior.
