We advocate for legislation that strengthens and integrates food and nutrition education into curricula and standards. We promote policies that create more dedicated staff positions at schools to deliver high-quality food education.
We advocate for increased access to school meals for all students and a cafeteria experience where they have enough time to eat and enjoy their food. We work to remove administrative barriers, support increased school meal funding, and allow school nutrition professionals to focus on sourcing and serving nourishing, community-rooted meals and snacks.
