India s national school feeding program may offer intergenerational nutrition benefits

India’s national school feeding program may offer intergenerational nutrition benefits Women who received free meals in primary school have children with improved linear growth, according to a new study by researchers at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). India is home to the highest number of undernourished children and the largest school feeding program in the world the Mid-Day Meal (MDM) scheme yet long-term program benefits on nutrition are unknown. As school feeding programs target children outside the highest-return first 1000-days window spanning from conception until a child s second birthday, they have not been a focal point in the global agenda to address stunting. School meals benefit education and nutrition in participants, but no studies have examined whether benefits carry over to their children.
