School-based food and nutrition education: A white paper on the current state, principles, challenges and recommendations for low- and middle-income countries

This white paper on the current state, principles of effectiveness and challenges of school-based food and nutrition education for low- and middle-income countries, with recommendations for action, is the first of its kind. Based on evidence, professional expertise and field experience, as well as the lessons learned and the documented challenges of school-based food and nutrition education (SFNE) work in a variety of contexts, the paper presents the case for raising its profile, and for transforming its vision and learning model in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
