Today I had my first class of nutrition in the community. We discussed the definition of nutrition as well as the definition of community nutrition. I think this class is going to be a great learning experience and I hope to improve my gardening skills and knowledge of community nutrition as a whole. We discussed some of the assignments we will be doing this quarter and I am interested in learning how to live on a budget, create food menus on a budget, and create menus for school systems. I also hope to learn more about the many areas of community nutrition. I have had some experience with gardening and WIC, but I know there are many more areas to study. Community nutrition focuses on improving the health, well-being, and nutrition of individuals within a community. Since the number of communities is vast, there is much to learn within this study of nutrition. I am excited to learn about different types of communities this quarter, and how nutrition differs within each community.
