The global shift away from healthy, diverse, and sustainable diets threatens children’s health and futures.

School meal programmes are thought to improve dietary behaviour in children, with benefits sustained throughout the life course, making them important catalysts for wider food-system change. However, only one in five children globally currently receives school meals.

Food education in schools is increasingly being adopted as one of the key policy levers to support the shift towards healthier and more sustainable food practices worldwide. However, the way in which food education is designed and implemented is not often conducive to such goals.
