Can school meals serve both children and the planet? This webinar will explore how school meal programs intersect with regenerative agriculture, unpacking the environmental, economic, and social tradeoffs of scaling sustainable feeding models.

Drawing on global initiatives, including Brazil’s national school feeding program, this session will highlight existing evidence and persistent gaps on the sustainability tradeoffs of making school meal programs regenerative, calling for deeper research to inform equitable, sustainable strategies for the future.
