Access to healthy food is not the same for all. School food programs can help change this.
Well-nourished students are ready to learn, have more energy, and are less distracted by hunger. These programs are school-driven and look different in each school to meet the needs of their community. Nourish supports school food programs through capacity building, resource development and leadership, with the aim to cultivate nutrition knowledge, food skills and healthy eating practices in Nova Scotia’s children and youth.
