Rethinking the Consequences for Climate,Environment, Biodiversity & Food Sovereignty

Policy changes to school meals programmes can immediately strengthen the community response to environment and climate and, through the power of procurement, help change agricultural practices in the longer term. A new White Paper produced by the Research Consortium for School Health and Nutrition shows that school meals offer this unique opportunity because of their reach and scale: in many countries school meals represent more than 70% of all publicly managed food systems.
