Access to healthy Nutrition

Families with children and young people living in poverty or in disadvantaged contexts are more likely to face a number of obstacles in accessing healthy food and adequate nutritional status. The fight against child poverty involves, among other measures, ensuring balanced and healthy meals in school facilities, both in the context of classes and during school breaks.
