Food and You 2.0: 142 students rethink what’s on their plate

On 30 December 2023, with Samayu, we ran Food and You 2.0 for 142 students at Paka Sariah H.S. School, Lechera. It became the starting point of the Green Plate Initiative.

On 30 December 2023, Jan Briddhi Foundation, in collaboration with Samayu, ran the Food and You 2.0 awareness programme at Paka Sariah H.S. School, Lechera.

  • Date: 30 December 2023, 11:30 am to 1:00 pm
  • Venue: Paka Sariah H.S. School, Lechera
  • Students: 142, from Class 6 to Class 10

What students explored

The session covered informed food choices, nutrition, and the social and environmental impact of food systems. Students discussed what they eat, how it is produced, and its effects on health, animals and the planet.

What came next

The response shaped our next steps: taking food system learning to more rural schools, student-led clubs, multilingual content, and a meal replacement programme. That became the Green Plate Initiative.
