Formation of the All-Russian Education System in the field of healthy food of the population

The establishment of the educational cluster “Healthy Eating” in the Russian Federation is based on the Federal State Budgetary Institution’s “Federal Research Center for Nutrition and Biotechnology” and intended to save the health of children and adults, as it serves as a model for the children’s and adults’ population. The development of different programs for both specialists and the population has been done through various means. It is suggested to concentrate attention on two main areas of activity: educational and outreach. Learning activity in the form of a cluster is shown to create the conditions for the development of an all-Russian system of education in the field of healthy nutrition for the Russian Federation’s population.

Aim. Development and implementation of a system of federal and regional educational programs for specialists and various groups of the population of the Russian Federation.

The population of the Russian Federation has an insufficient level of knowledge about healthy nutrition, so about 50% have practically no idea about its rules, 60% of the population do not follow the diet. In connection with the urgency of the problem, an educational cluster was formed on the basis of the Federal Research Center for Nutrition and Biotechnology. The resources and qualifications of the cluster members, which combined the scientific potential of the Federal Research Center for Nutrition and Biotechnology and the educational opportunities of specialized departments of the country’s leading universities, make it possible to effectively solve the problems that the education system of specialists and the population faces in the field of healthy nutrition. Additional education programs have been developed – advanced training courses, differentiated programs are being created for specialists: nutritionists, doctors, faculty of medical universities, teachers and trainers of sports schools, fitness trainers, food industry workers, graduate students and residents, as well as educational and educational programs for various population groups.

Taking into account the high efficiency of outreach work, as well as its relatively low cost, in addition to the educational block, an information and educational block has been allocated separately, including with the involvement of public opinion leaders and the media.

Thus, the establishment of a systematic approach to the education of specialists and the public in the field of healthy nutrition, through management, scientific, methodological, and educational support within the educational cluster, leads to the creation of an all-Russian system of education in healthy nutrition for the Russian population.

Conclusion. Successful implementation of federal and regional programs of the educational cluster “Healthy Nutrition” is a necessary condition for improving the quality of life and health of the population.
