Abstract

Food education for early childhood not only serves to introduce concepts of nutrition and health but also serves as a means of developing social character and humanitarian values. Through food-related activities, children learn about social processes, appreciate the work of others, and understand the importance of sharing and gratitude. This article examines the concept of food education for early childhood within a social and humanitarian context using a descriptive qualitative approach. The analysis shows that food education integrated with socio-humanitarian values can strengthen children's moral development, empathy, responsibility, and cooperation. The role of teachers and parents is key to building a humanistic and sustainable food culture.
