Our Danish partner has produced three written case studies which you will find in this section.
LOMA Project
Nymarkskolen in Svendborg is part of the LOMA project (LOkal MAd = local food). The purpose of the LOMA project is to support learning, health, wellbeing and sustainability through integrating food and meals into teaching in the participating schools. Students are involved in food preparation and in planning the menu. At the same time, food preparation is integrated into the school curriculum. As part of the teaching, schools must cooperate with local food suppliers e.g. through school excursions or inviting them in as guest lecturers at school.
