Contribute to our online library of sustainable school feeding

Are you part of a project or teaching activity focusing on sustainable school feeding?
We would like you to share your ideas and experience!  We are building an online library of good practice of sustainable school feeding, for mutual inspiration of all those working in this field and to enable local adaptation of proven ideas.

To keep it simple, we developed a short form where the goals and basic characteristics of an idea are documented, combined with 2-3 photographs that give an impression of what it looks like in reality (view examples).

The library is a non-profit project and our platform and the organizations behind are strictly non-commercial. However, we are aware that filling in the form requires some thorough thinking and will take 1 or 2 hours, especially if you have to take/select adequate pictures 1We are in the testing phase of our international compensation program. Payments to schools are subject to national legislation and can only be issued if no laws stand against them. The transfer of money will take place within 30 days after accepted submission, by international money transfer (SWIFT) or PayPal, exchange rates will be calculated on www.oanda.com on the day of transfer. Only good practice documents that fulfil the criteria stated on this page can be compensated for..

Extra support payment for ongoing student project
