Describe the challenge you want to address:

There are clear benefits to providing organic and non-GMO options in school meals, the challenge lies in finding sustainable and cost-effective ways to incorporate these choices into the menu while meeting the dietary needs of students.

Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:

Schools can provide organic and non-GMO options in their meal programs by partnering with local farmers and suppliers, seeking grants and funding, offering meal prep training, and collaborating with other schools. This multi-faceted approach can make these options more sustainable and cost-effective.
