Did you catch the latest report from the Food Research & Action Center on #SchoolMeals? FRAC’s 2024 report on the reach of school lunch and breakfast shares key data on how many kids participated in school meals programs in the 2022-2023 school year, including how over a million fewer students benefited from school meals last year when compared to SY 2021-2022. While more and more states are opting into universal school meals programs, let’s continue to push for a federal program to keep every kid fed and healthy at school!

Another leader recognises that if you don’t create equity in access to food, you do not create equity to performance in the classroom, and ultimately, achievement. Breakfast clubs in England will be a welcome and important start but we need to ensure we: - Educate young people on where their food comes from and how to put together a balanced diet (regardless of age, income level and location) - Tackle food inequity at all levels of education to ensure that the potential of our next generation is able to flourish. - Educate young people on families on how food can help with health. #HarperAdamsUniversity has established an independent Harper Commission which has this issue at its heart and we stand ready to work with governments across in #Britain #Scotland #Wales and #NorthernIreland to support them in making a significant difference to improving food knowledge among young people, and reducing food inequity. #togetherwewillmakethedifference Harper Adams University School of Sustainable Food and Farming @ Harper Adams University #foodsecurity #foodinequity #performance #potential #realisingpotential Jacqui Smith LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) Viki Cooke Judith Batchelar OBE Stephen Kearney Rt.

Innovation can take many forms…

“When all students are able to have healthy meals before and during school, they can spend their day focused on learning.”” In the year since Michigan implemented universal school meals, data shows that in “October 2023, over 6 million more breakfasts and lunches were served than in October 2022, over 11 million more breakfasts and lunches have been served this school year, on average, more than 74,000 more students are eating breakfast daily, on average, more than 122,000 more students are eating lunch daily.” Learn about the benefits of expanding USM and Solving Hunger's impact at solving-hunger.org.

?? Good to be with lots of school food colleagues at the LACA - The School Food People #LACAmainevent national conference. And thank you to the organisers for letting us talk about the #economics of school food and the School Food Matters commissioned #Costofaschoolmeal ?? Lots to celebrate in school food - but also lots for tomorrow's administration to grapple with: ?? #EquitableAccess - how to ensure all children can afford good nutritious school meals (Ambition = Universal Free School Meals) ?? #QualityAssurance - how to put in place a fair but transparent monitoring and reporting mechanism to support everyone to make sure children are eating the great school food they need ?? #Fairerfunding - it's all about the economics of school food - we need enough money in the system to deliver fair wages, good food and promote #great Lot's to do, lots to talk about. The #SchoolFoodReview - consisting of over 40 national organisations spanning the school food system, will be working hard with the new administration to deliver the #manifesto and ensure a bright future for children's nutritional health... ??????

School food is a matter of justice. Food justice is key in building a world free from oppression. And schools—among the earliest places where kids learn about food, practice building community, and often get most of their daily nutrition—are critical in shaping this world for our kids. Read FoodCorps' blog "Why School Food is a Justice Issue" to learn why the movement for food justice must include school food. ?? https://bit.ly/3Lb12GC Share this post if you believe school food is a justice issue! ??
