Swedish schools are delivering impressive outcomes: fewer overweight students and stronger academic results. At Nordhems School in Gothenburg, the introduction of a salad bar has driven a sharp drop in overweight students—now just 1% of pupils are affected. Students also enjoy better grades, fewer headaches, greater energy, and improved focus.
Hot, nutritious school meals
Since 1946, Swedish law has required schools to provide hot meals of high nutritional value, fully funded by the government. Nordhems School's chefs prepare fresh, daily hot meals for 1,200 children using healthy ingredients.
