FAO's Food and Nutrition Division (ESN) assists Members to improve diets and raise levels of nutrition, as well as provides support with appropriate policies, strategies and methodologies for improving the efficiency and inclusiveness of their agriculture and food systems. As a knowledge leader, areas addressed include dietary assessment, support on nutrition-sensitive food and agriculture policies and programmes, effective nutrition promotion programmes, food value chains, market linkages, post-harvest handling, food loss and waste reduction and nutrition-sensitive agro-processing. FAO is committed to support Members in their efforts to improve achieving better nutrition, aligned with FAO Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and with the Vision and Approach for FAO's Work in Nutrition 2025-2031 (VAN).
School-based food and nutrition programmes are a key area of work for FAO, serving as an effective way to improve child nutrition, support local agrifood systems, and encourage healthy eating habits throughout life.



FAO promotes an integrated approach that enhances school meals through supportive policies, healthier food environments, nutrition education, and inclusive food procurement practices.
This work relies on strong partnerships. Together with the World Food Programme (WFP), FAO has developed a methodology to help countries create nutrition guidelines and standards for school meals that reflect local contexts. Collaboration with UN agencies, the School Meals Coalition Research Consortium, Intake Center for Dietary Assessment, and other partners has been essential in advancing this effort. FAO believes that effective partnerships are critical to achieving sustainable improvements in the quality and reach of school meal programmes worldwide.
This position is located in the Food and Nutrition Division (ESN), at FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy.
