Great letter to the The New York Times by my colleague Noah Cohen-Cline making an excellent argument for the role of public procurement - and specifically school meals- in supporting #sustainablediets. Not only does this provide more equitable outcomes for students, but public institutional demand can serve as anchor market for stronger local food systems and supporting regional farmers.
In my The New York Times letter to the editor I argue that achieving #sustainablediets requires equitable, systems solutions that don’t rely only on individual choice. One good place to start is with healthy, sustainable #schoomeals. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/e8A7AiCR
