To protect children's futures, we need to ensure we're promoting sustainable eating habits that support their health, and the health of our fragile planet. 💚🌱🌎 Through our pioneering School Plates programme, we’re working with 25% of local authorities responsible for school food, feeding over a million children every day. That’s a million children who are accessing high-quality, sustainable and nutritious meals. 💪 But don't just take our word for it.
