School Food Matters, a charity based in London, UK, has published a new report comparing the country’s funding for school meals to the actual cost of nutritious and environmentally sustainable meals. 

The report recommends funding £3.16 (US$4.10) per school meal while the current funding rate is only £2.53 (US$3.28) per school meal. This is £0.63 (US$0.82) below what is needed to improve students’ nutrition and to mitigate the environmental impact of their food.
