In Kenya, the school meals programme (SMP) was envisioned as a national sustainable initiative that would boost key educational indicators among school going children from food insecure regions and communities. However, in rural regions, school children continue to face hunger and malnutrition due to inadequate access to healthy and nutritious foods.
The Food Systems Transformation Through School Feeding project under the CCHeFS initiative addresses this challenge by promoting interventions that integrate nutrient-rich, locally grown crops into SMPs. Through the establishment of climate-smart learning centres on school farms in pastoral Kenya, the project seeks to leverage local agriculture to support SMPs. This project spotlight details the status of the intervention in Kenya.
