Food teaching has so many titles around the world, it’s hard to know where it is taught. It’s called home economics, home and consumer studies, food and health, food & nutrition, consumer studies, and food technology as part of Design & technology.
ChatGPT says ‘It’s reasonable to estimate that at least 100 countries teach some form of home economics/domestic science (or equivalent) at some level.
In Sweden the subject is known as Home and Consumer Studies
Finland has a long history of home economics/household economics education
Austria offers Nutrition and Household
In Japan, the subject Home Economics appears in school curricula.
In India many education boards offer Home Science
In Indonesia, home economics is described as Family Training and Welfare

Singapore – Food & Consumer Education / Nutrition & Food Science
New Zealand – Home Economics
Mauritius – Home Economics
Ghana – Home Economics
Tanzania – Home Economics
