Meals organization: from start to finish
School meals in Russia
today, represent a large-scale initiative that addresses key aspects of providing healthy, balanced nutrition to more than 17 million students across the country.

The primary goal of the Programme is not just to feed children but to lay the foundation for healthy eating habits, strengthen their well-being, and create the right conditions for their development and academic success.

The school feeding system in Russia is built on eight core pillars.
Regional standards have been developed to reflect the specific needs of each federal subject, ensuring sufficient levels of essential nutrients, a diverse menu, and therapeutic and dietary accommodations. These standards are based on recommendations from the Federal Center for Nutrition Monitoring and have been peer-reviewed by experts from 42 regions.
Future plans for the School Feeding Programme include expanding menu options, better addressing dietary and health requirements, strengthening the role of local food producers, and increasing transparency and community engagement in monitoring processes.

The joint efforts of government, schools, parents, and producers are not just about providing meals — they represent a strategic investment in the health, development, and future of every child in Russia.
