CHL Food Systems

At a time of rising food costs and new environmental and post-pandemic challenges that influence food access and availability for children and families, the Food System Resiliency for Children鈥檚 Healthy Living Program, or CHL Food Systems, is working to increase food and nutrition security and healthy diets among children in Guam.

The grant will also guide the nutrition education programs offered to the community under UOG Cooperative Extension & Outreach.
