Food in American schools tends to reflect American food culture. At the same time, schools are responsible for shaping healthy, growing minds and food culture is not always in alignment with the healthiest lifestyle. From New York City schools to universities across the country, school food departments are looking to plant-based options as a way to feed kids wholesome foods that they actually want to eat. In this panel session, discover how leaders across the school food landscape are learning to better serve their unique clientele in a way that makes their customers both happy and healthy. Apply these strategies to grow your plant-based offerings in your foodservice operation or restaurant.
