Food for Life programme helps to 'close the gap'

Evidence points towards Food for Life’s potential to contribute to helping ‘close the gap’ for disadvantaged children in terms of their health and academic attainment.

Soil Association Food for Life is an evidence based programme which has been shown to improve children’s health, positively impact wider attainment, support local enterprise and tackle inequalities in local communities.

Our Early Years Award provides an independent endorsement for nurseries and children’s centres that serve good quality, nutritious food and support the babies and children in their care to develop good eating habits for life.

Our School Award supports schools to take a whole school approach that sees them grow their own food; organise trips to farms; provide cooking and growing clubs for pupils and their families; serve freshly prepared, well-sourced meals and provide an attractive dining environment.

The Food for Life programme achieves some amazing results, but don’t just take our word for it!
