Podcast: New research reveals what works in school food

Today's podcast is inspired by new research about what works to improve school food menus and children's nutrition.

Rather than starting with a single intervention, the project examined previous public health policies aimed at improving healthy eating to understand which characteristics actually make policies effective.

To unpack the findings we brought together a panel of experts, including Katie Edwards, a Research Fellow in Psychology at University of Birmingham, Sarah Newton, Food System Team lead at Birmingham City Council, and Sian Kidd, Food Security Engagement officer at Monmouthshire County Council.

The discussion is led by Leticija Petrovic, our Local Food Policy lead.
