簡単英語ニュース – School Meals Could Improve Health and Protect the Planet
学校給食が人と地球の健康を守るかもしれない
A new study from University College London says that healthy and sustainable school meals could greatly improve both human health and the environment. The research suggests that better school meals could reduce undernourishment, lower deaths from diet-related diseases, and cut environmental impacts such as pollution and land use.
The study found that school meal programs already feed about 466 million children every day, giving governments strong leverage to improve food systems. If every child received a healthy school meal by 2030, global undernourishment could fall by 24 percent. This means fewer children would lack important vitamins and minerals. The study also suggests that healthy meals could help prevent illnesses like diabetes and heart disease later in life.
Researchers say school meals can also help fight climate change. By increasing vegetables and reducing meat and dairy, schools could lower greenhouse gas emissions and protect biodiversity. Experts believe school meals are not just food support, but a strategic investment that can build healthier habits, stronger communities, and a more resilient future for people and the planet.
