Brought to you by the Coalition for Healthy School Food and PlantPure, our main goal for the Healthy School Food Summit (HSFS) is to educate school administrators, teachers, parents, food service workers, legislators and others on ways they can add more healthy food options in their schools to help students grow and excel while also motivating and inspiring them to also eat better at home. We've invited top experts in nutrition and program development to provide their insights through interviews with co-hosts Amie Hamlin, of the Coalition for Healthy School Food, and Ron Gandiza, of PlantPure.
