Since 1975, IFPRI has built the evidence base for school meals as a proven strategy to improve nutrition, education, and resilience for children worldwide. Its research has shaped programs across Bangladesh, Ghana, India, Malawi, Yemen, and beyond, showing that school meals can improve diets, boost learning, and reduce poverty.
IFPRI’s evidence helped inform Bangladesh’s Food for Education program, which increased school participation by up to 30%, while research in Ghana found gains in girls’ literacy, math, and reasoning skills.
More recently, IFPRI has advanced “home-grown” school feeding models that link schools to local farmers, strengthen food systems, and promote climate resilience, while its work with the School Meals Coalition is helping shape global priorities on financing, sustainability, and program effectiveness.
