A taxonomy of Australian consumers' food and health knowledge

消费者食品知识基本维度的识别和测量将为新的教育课程和社区交流计划提供信息。研究结果将使政策规划者、教育当局和食品工业能够更好地针对社区和行业进行教育。它们还将使监测和评估食品交流项目成为可能。从长远来看，这项研究还可能使公民能够应对气候变化、代谢疾病和寿命延长造成的变化；帮助教育更多识字的食品工业工人；加强市民、业界及政府之间的沟通；并产生对高质量食品的更大需求。

Identification and measurement of the basic dimensions of food knowledge of consumers will inform new education curricula and community communication programs. The findings will enable better targeting of community and industry education by policy planners, education authorities, and the food industry. They will also enable monitoring and evaluation of food communication programs. In the longer term, this research may also enable citizens to deal with the changes caused by climate change, metabolic disease and increasing longevity; help educate more literate food industry workers; enhance communications between citizens, industry and government; and generate greater demand for higher quality food products.
