The Rome-Based Agencies Joint initiative for Home-Grown School Feeding

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), IFAD and the World Food Programmme are leveraging South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) to support national Home-Grown School Feeding Programmes (HGSF).

Through SSTC, the initiative strengthens countries’ capacity to design and implement policies to improve the supply and demand for nutritious and locally produced food to school canteens, directly benefiting farmers and school children.
