Introduction
Introduction
EU school fruit, vegetables and milk scheme
'The EU school scheme aims to support viable food production and promote healthy eating habits among children by encouraging the consumption of fruit and vegetables, milk and certain milk products in schools. This initiative aligns with the goals of the common agricultural policy (CAP) in terms of market stability and supply availability. Due to the increase in processed food consumption and rising obesity rates linked to poor diets and low physical activity, the EU actively promotes healthier diets and lifestyles for children.'
