Sustainable School Feeding Network (RAES)

This video presents the Sustainable School Feeding Network (RAES), an initiative of the Brazilian government, through the Brazilian Cooperation Agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (ABC/MRE) and the National Fund for Educational Development (FNDE), with the executive secretariat provided by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). 

Today, RAES unites 18 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean in a collective effort toward sustainable school feeding for all students. The Network provides technical support to help countries implement and strengthen their programs, based on the principle of the human right to adequate food, through the provision of healthy, fresh, and local food. 

Its initiatives contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as Zero Hunger, No Poverty, Quality Education, and Reduced Inequalities.
