Universal home-grown regenerative and climate-resilient school meals.

Donor organisation / United States of America

March 2025 — December 2030

Description

Over the next five years, The Rockefeller Foundation commits $100m USD to work with partners will work in ~12 countries to directly demonstrate and build a business model for regenerative school meals by supporting countries with technical assistance (such as menu engineering and sustainable financing) and procurement-linked landscape transformation, while supporting a broader movement built upon the evidence and learning to deliver on regenerative school meals beyond the target countries.

By 2030:

• 100m more children will have access to nutritious and high-quality school meals

• 20%+ improvement in the nutritional quality of these school meals (based on improvements in meal quality score)

• A 10x increase in private and public investment going to agroecological transitions in selected landscapes supplying school meals.
