A legend appears to the right of the pie chart listing nine categories as “Farms,” “Supermarket”, “Speciality shops”, “Nature”, “State or Country”, “Gardens”, “Family”, “Home appliances”, and “Cafe or restaurant”.

The bottom section is titled “Figure 1 c: Thematic analysis of responses to ‘Food is important for our bodies and our planet. Why?’” It presents a structured conceptual diagram organized into three horizontal sections labeled “THEMES”, “SUB-THEMES”, and “ILLUSTRATIVE QUOTES”, arranged from top to bottom. At the top, under “THEMES”, two rounded rectangular boxes are displayed side by side. The left box reads, “Food is necessary for people to survive and thrive”, with the italicized text reading, “Encapsulates children’s understanding about food as a basic need for life and prosperity”. The right box reads, “Food is important to nourish our ecosystems and planet”, with the italicized text reading, “Reflects the understanding of how children view food as not only an energy source to live and thrive, but also important in sustaining ecosystems and planetary health”. In the middle section, under “SUB-THEMES”, five smaller rounded boxes are arranged horizontally. From left to right, they read: “Survival”, with the italicized text “The essential role of food for survival”; “Health and Wellbeing”, with the italicized text “The essential role of food for physical health”; and “Pleasure and Enjoyment”, with the italicized text “The enjoyment derived from food including emotions” at the left section, and “Sustainable Food System”, with the italicized text “Perception of food as part of the food system”; and “Planetary Health”, with the italicized text “View of food as a fuel source for the planet” at the right section. At the bottom, under “ILLUSTRATIVE QUOTES”, dashed rectangular boxes appear beneath each sub-theme. The quotes shown are, beneath “Survival”: “It keeps you alive”; beneath “Health and Wellbeing”: “It is healthy” and “Brain function”; beneath “Pleasure and Enjoyment”: “It is yummy” and “Key to happy lives”; beneath “Sustainable Food System”: “I can compost it” and “Important for economy”; and beneath “Planetary Health”: “Fuel the Earth” and “Makes our planet healthy”.Level of food system literacy amongst children attending the Little Food Festival
