The health, environmental, and cost implications of providing healthy and sustainable school meals for every child by 2030: A global modelling study. The Lancet Planetary Health.

Researchers estimate the health, environmental, and financial impacts of expanding sustainable school meals for all children by 2030. Findings suggest substantial health and environmental benefits at low cost across countries of all income levels, though dedicated policy and financial support will be needed in low-income countries to achieve universal school meals.
