Inhaltsangabe

School food programs are recognized worldwide as contributing to improved health, education, and economic growth. As the first book on the subject with a Canadian focus, School Food Programs in Canada provides innovative models for success and underscores the importance and value of making these programs a national priority.

School Food Programs in Canada brings together contributions from a truly interdisciplinary slate of authors, including university-based researchers, community-development organizers, educators, public health workers, and those involved in local government. A historical overview of policy and advocacy is followed by case studies of existing programs. The final chapter surveys school food policies in six other countries to understand what these can teach us.

By connecting the efforts of provincial, Indigenous, and federal policy-makers and practitioners, this book provides a framework for determining which program models and features best serve diverse communities across Canada.
