From: Dr Deep Ford, UN FAO Coordinator for the Caribbean

Two dimensions of the new approach to School Feeding being promoted by FAO emphasize a) school feeding as a means of promoting long life food choices characterized by decision making that pays attention to consuming healthy  and nutritious foods and b)  school feeding programs that promote increased consumption of healthy and nutritious local foods, where possible linked to farmers and  backyard garden producers in the community where the school is located. In addition to the supply of the healthy local product meal at lunch time and interventions such as nutrition education and  promotion of public purchasing of local products, what other interventions/activities can we engage in for increased success in this effort ?
