Good practices in school gardens and school meals: Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean

Gardens play a fundamental role in school feeding programmes, since they function as a strategic tool for food and nutrition education (FNE), contributing to the formation of healthy and sustainable eating habits for students and the entire school community. By mapping successful examples, this publication seeks to investigate how school gardens can contribute to improving these programmes and to identify good practices in management, design and implementation. The publication is the result of a partnership between the WFP Centre of Excellence in Brazil, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the National Education Development Fund (FNDE) and the Brazilian Cooperation Agency (ABC).
