Social media posts of school meals from around the world generate millions of online hits – with very little understanding of real-world challenges of feeding millions of children at school. School nutrition experts from Japan, Sweden and the US will highlight ways that food and nutrition professionals share global concerns and strategies for overcoming obstacles. Speakers will discuss recent research into the effects of school meals and also report on successful approaches to reducing food waste and supporting sustainability at school, in homes and throughout the community. They will focus on commonalities across continents and the ways that dietetics professionals can learn from one another.

Successful completion of the webinar and quiz is awarded 1 SNA CEU for RDNs/NDTRs.
