Changing food in schools. Feeding a brighter future.

Our mission is for every Australian child to receive high-quality meals at school prepared in their canteen or school kitchen, regardless of their background or circumstance. 

We help schools serve up fresh, nutritious food that supports children’s wellbeing and learning, and embed this with great food education.

How can we help you today?

Momentum is building for better school food in Australia. Let’s think outside the lunchbox, and together advocate to transform the school food system!
