On 16th December, FAO, WFP and WHO hosted a side event in the framework of the Tokyo Nutrition for Growth Summit to present a holistic approach aimed at ensuring that school food for children and adolescents is nutritious, desirable, context-appropriate and more sustainably produced.
Such an approach, anchored on the rights to food and health and (food) systems-based, considers a wide range of aspects to devise feasible, context-specific and evidence-informed nutrition standards that are also coherent and complementary to other interventions within the school food environment and beyond. When aiming at supporting food system transformation, the process of setting and implementing such standards can promote biodiversity, environmentally friendlier production, preparation and waste practices, more effective food learning, and social justice.
