    Developing rations for Home Grown School Feeding

    Home Grown School Feeding, 2010
    This paper discusses how to set the goals for school meal rations based on educational and nutrition outcomes. The paper points that school feeding programs do not significantly improve the nutritional status of school children unless the staple food is fortified. Consequently, parents need to be educated to continue to feed the same amounts of food at home.

    A comparison of supply chains for school food: exploring operational trade-offs across implementation models

    Home Grown School Feeding, 2012
    School feeding is a complex form of intervention that is delivered in various, context-specific models or configurations. This paper indicates that an increasing need for support and understanding of the different models and modalities has been expressed by governments to aid the design of school feeding programs.
