For School Feeding! | Cantos do Sabiá

João Lucas França – Radio host and communicator for the Sabiá Center.

This week’s Cantos do Sabiá talks about October 21, School Feeding Day! Food is a pillar of quality of life, health and nutritional security, but we already know that. What we don’t realize is that the school has a huge influence on our eating habits, and it needs to be a place to promote real food!

But if this is already a challenge, imagine adding to it the fact that our country lives with hunger; a Brazil that, during the pandemic, had more than 120 million food insecure .

In the midst of this, there is a diet full of ultra-processed foods, pesticides and poison. Not to mention the attempts to make school meals more flexible, allowing even more of this food that is a product. In the midst of so much discussion, how can we guarantee safe, healthy, sovereign school meals ?

And to talk about this very important topic, today we invited Giorgia Russo , who holds a master’s degree in interventions and public policies and is a nutritionist from the School of Public Health/USP! Giorgia is IDEC’s technical consultant on the healthy and sustainable schools agenda. Chairman of the management committee for the organic school food law in São Paulo.
