What is Nutrition Month?
Nutrition Month is a yearly campaign
held every July to create greater
awareness among Filipinos on the
importance of nutrition. Presidential
Decree 491 or the Nutrition Act of
the Philippines mandates the
National Nutrition Council (NNC) to
lead and coordinate the nationwide
campaign.
What is the theme of the 2018 Nutrition
Month?
Every year, the NNC Technical
Committee chooses a theme to
highlight an important and timely
concern in nutrition. This year, the
selected focus of the Nutrition Month
campaign is on food gardening. The
chosen theme is “Ugaliing magtanim,
sapat na nutrisyon aanihin!”
