Food and nutrition education and school food to improve diets for life

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Food Programme in collaboration with the School Meals Coalition will organise a webinar: “Food and nutrition education and school food to improve diets for life – Linking school-based food and nutrition education with nutrition guidelines and standards for school food“.

This webinar will focus on the why and how school-based food and nutrition education (SFNE) can be used as a tool to increase the impact of school food nutrition guidelines and standards (NGS), addressing in particular the following aspects:

• The importance of meaningfully linking school food NGS implementation and SFNE.
• Strategies to link school food NGS implementation and SFNE at national and school levels.
• Country experiences in linking school food and SFNE interventions, lessons learned and recommendations for other countries. 

The webinar will be held in English.
