Bishkek hosts first Healthy Food Festival

The first Healthy Food Festival, aimed at creating an interest in parents and children in healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition, took place in Bishkek. The UN World Food Program in Kyrgyzstan reported.

During the festival, about 500 children and their parents won the title of super agents of healthy eating thanks to participation in theatrical performances, master classes, contests and quizzes.

The festival was held by the Russian Social and Industrial Foodservice Institute with the support of WFP and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Kyrgyz Republic as part of a project to improve school meals.

At the festival, participants got acquainted with the benefits of various foods, learned recipes of healthy and affordable seasonal dishes. The smallest ones competed in interactive games and quests for the title of super agents of healthy eating.

«Good food is like good gasoline, without which you won’t win the race. For a healthy and successful life, we need high-quality and healthy food. Such interactive, simple, fun and educational initiatives form healthy eating habits in children,» noted WFP Country Director Andrea Bagnoli.
