President Emmanuel Macron of France hosts the first global Summit with the theme: Investing in Future Generations: Human Capital, Sustainable Food Systems and Climate Change Action Through School Meals. The Summit mobilizes member states, development partners, and donors to increase their efforts to reach all primary school children by 2030.

The School Meals Coalition hosts the “School Meals Powering Food Systems” session at the Food Systems Summit +2 Stocktaking Moment held in Rome, Italy, on 24 July 2023. The session showed how School Meal programmes can operate across policy siloes and – above all – produce results.

Watch the launch of the Coalition – a series of entertaining, educational and informative segments which serve as the platforms for showcasing commitments, and the transformation possible, organized around the substantive themes which school meals programmes contribute to, including health, nutrition, education, local agriculture and community.
