School Meals Case Study: Spain
Case studies

Spain's school meal programs focus on improving children's health through healthy and sustainable diets, with a particular emphasis on preventing obesity. They promote nutrition education, the use of local, seasonal, and organic foods, and equitable access to quality meals that accommodate diverse needs. Beyond nutrition, school meals also support education, social inclusion, and work-family balance.
