Erica Curry, FoodCorps’ Director of Education, speaks on Food Management’s podcast about our Reimagining School Cafeterias initiative.
By Becky Schilling for Food Management
If you could remake a school cafeteria, what would it look like? That’s the basis of a newly released report by FoodCorps, a nonprofit that works with communities to connect students to healthy food in school. The team’s Reimagining School Cafeterias report provides 13 areas of opportunity for child nutrition professionals, schools and the community.
The report was conducted by doing face-to-face interviews with more than 300 students and 100 adult stakeholders in the schools, including teachers, principals and child nutrition professionals. The interviews were conducted in nine schools, representing diverse backgrounds and service styles for lunches.
Listen in as I dig in with Erica Curry, director of education for FoodCorps, on how students, in particular, would reimagine their school cafeteria, if given the chance.
