The Food In Our Schools Matters and Policy Can Make a Difference - Caribbean Regional Digital Campaign

The Food In Our Schools Matters calls on governments to #ActOnFacts and implement strong school nutrition policies that allow and encourage children and the school community to make healthier food choices.

Addressing unhealthy food environments – and by extension childhood obesity – requires bold legislative actions, to not only increase access to nutritious foods, healthier snacks and drinking water, but limit the sale and marketing of unhealthy foods and drinks in schools.

The campaign was originally launched on September 7th to October 16th, 2022. It was relaunched as a social media only campaign on May 5th, 2025 for four weeks.
