A Good Practice Guide for School Food Initiatives

On 24 June 2009 Mary Hanafin, TD, launched Healthy Food for All’s A Good Practice Guide for School Food Initiatives at Rutland Street National School, Dublin 1.

The guide is split into two sections:

Section A looks at school food provision and examines available funding programmes for school food provision. It also explores the different types of direct school food provision, such as school lunches and breakfast clubs. This section offers also advice on how to set up a school food initiative.
