About

This research will be conducted face-to-face with women registered at the Women's Club. Participants included in the study are expected to fill out three survey forms first. The first form includes the Descriptive Information Form, which includes questions such as age, height, weight, marital status, education, employment status, and income status; the second form includes the Food Literacy Tool; and the third form includes the Behavior Scale for Sustainable Nutrition. It takes approximately 20 minutes to fill out the forms. After the survey forms are filled out, participants will be randomly divided into two groups and the order of the groups will be determined by drawing lots. Participants in the first group will attend the Environmentally Friendly Nutrition Training once a week for five weeks immediately after the survey forms are filled out. Participants in the second group will be included in the training after the first group's training is completed. The survey form will be filled out again immediately after the training and one month later. The study will be completed with the completion of the last surveys.
