Initiative	Country	Description
Food for Life Partnership (FFLP) [94]	England	A program with a whole-school approach that addresses healthy, tasty, and sustainable eating through four areas of development: food quality, food leadership and food culture, food education, and community and partnerships. “Food quality” includes, among other factors, the use of fresh, seasonal, local, and organic foods, meat that meets animal welfare standards, marine conservation certified fish, and eggs from free range hens. “Nutritional education” includes the development of cooking skills, planting food and visiting or receiving visits from farmers, in addition to ethical and environmental issues around food choices.
Eco-Schools [93]	Global	A global program of sustainable schools that aims to train people with an environmental and sustainability conscience. The program is based on seven steps, the: formation of an Eco Committee (in which students play a main role) to discuss environmental and social actions for the school, conduction of a sustainability audit, preparation, monitoring, and evaluation of the action plan, linking of activities to the curriculum, information and involvement with the community, and production of an ecological code that represents the school’s commitment to sustainability.
World Food Programme (WFP)’s Home Grown School Feeding [92]	Global	An initiative in which the World Food Program works with governments to develop school food policies that seek to improve student nutrition and support the local economy through the connection between school food and local farmers.
Smarter Lunchrooms Movement (SLM) [90]	USA	The initiative generated by research in schools is used to create lunchrooms that encourage healthy food choices and reduce waste, using a strategy with little or no cost.
Farm to School (FTS) [91]	USA	It connects schools and local food producers to offer fresh and healthy food to students. It is based on local food purchasing activities, education about food, nutrition, health, agriculture, and hands-on learning activities (school gardens, including visits to local farmers and culinary classes).
