School nutrition refers to the policies and programs implemented in educational institutions to provide students with healthy and balanced meals and snacks. Its main goal is to support the dietary needs of students, promote healthy eating habits, and enhance overall student well-being and academic performance. School nutrition encompasses meal planning, food sourcing, nutritional guidelines, and educational initiatives on healthy eating. These programs are often guided by national nutritional standards and may include breakfast, lunch, and snack offerings, as well as nutrition education activities.
