Public food procurement can help address today’s most pertinent challenges to health and well-being: from obesity to the climate crisis.
Schools are important places to leverage the multiple health, environmental and social benefits of serving better food.
This online event will bring together a wide range of actors to discuss the different aspects of moving towards healthy, sustainable school meals, and what implications for policy and practice this can have.
