This report explores the critical intersection of education and nutrition. It advocates for a systemic, life-cycle approach to both sectors, aiming to enhance the global nutritional landscape. It calls for a whole-school approach, combining school meal provision with nutrition education, physical activity and extracurricular initiatives. It also calls for efforts on food literacy to transform into a lifelong learning pursuit through formal, non-formal and informal learning. It emphasizes the need to build capacity at all levels through education and training across a range of sectors, including health, nutrition, agriculture and food systems. Despite clear interdependencies, the linkages between education and nutrition remain under-researched, including in data collection and monitoring of programmes and outcomes.
