Beyond The Tray: Digging into School Nutrition-EP 1

Written by:
School lunch has come a long way—but it's never been just about what's on the menu. In this first episode of our Beyond the Tray series, we take a step back and look at the bigger picture: how school food programs evolved, how meals are actually served at scale, and why the design of a cafeteria matters just as much as the menu itself. From early community-led programs to today's highly structured systems, we explore how efficiency, access, and environment have shaped the school lunch experience over time.
