N2 - The fulfilment of commitments to international agreements that relate tosustainable development requires fundamental changes in food consumption.This project aims to promote healthy and sustainable dietary habits in Swedenthrough optimized school meals.Several studies are planned. The first is an analysis of children’s dietary intakein relation to school meal quality. The second is a modelling study wherenutritious, affordable and theoretically acceptable food baskets, optimizedfor low emissions of greenhouse gases, are developed. Menus based onthese baskets will be developed and tested for acceptability in schools. Lastly,challenges in the implementation of climate-friendlier school meals will bestudied. Currently, the collection of data on dietary habits and school mealquality has been finalized. Preliminary optimization analyses have also beenperformed.This project has the potential to contribute to more sustainable procurementand consumption patterns, a more efficient use of public resources, and tofulfilment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
