Bridging the Gap: Dishing up the detail on school food
Hear about three successful Bridging the Gap pilots, which have facilitated the supply of organic, local veg and pulses into school meals
Join the conversation with Bridging the Gap partners as we dish up the details of our latest report.
Three pilots have demonstrated that supplying organic fruit and veg from small farmers and suppliers into school meals could drive a substantial market for UK growers, whilst keeping profits in local communities.
The school pilots demonstrated that increased public investment not only supported local farmers but also led to 75,000 children eating organic fruit and veg in their school meals, with a third of those children living in low-income communities.
Chair: Kiloran O'Leary
Speakers:
Sarah Gowanlock, Partnerships Manager, Soil Association Scotland
Dr Amber Wheeler, Lead for Welsh Veg in Schools
