    Food is the most basic need of the family, providing nutrients from plants and animals. It gives the body energy, allows it to grow and function normally, and prevents disease. Food intake varies according to age and needs, with recommendations on daily allowances. Producing some of their own food can help families supplement their diets and budgets, considering their needs, resources, skills and environment. Proper meal planning ensures nutrition for all within available resources and time.
