The topic of school lunch has become a veritable hot potato in culinary, educational, agricultural and health circles as well as in the legislative halls. From cafeterias, classrooms and school gardens to vending machine and afterschool programs across the country it is possible to find inspiring models
for improved nutrition and learning. New federal legislation calling for a school wellness policy from each school district may offer opportunities for galvanizing support for positive change on a large scale. Join us for an exciting discussion with initiative leaders working in public and privately-funded programs in schools and colleges in New York and elsewhere.
