Abtract : Food is on the agenda in school and the role that food and education can play for for health & food literacy among children is important. The paper takes as a point of departure the provisions in the EU School Fruit Scheme adopted by the memberstates in 2009. It gives a brief account of the background for the scheme and its content. It lists a number of new educational opportunities for learning about life & health skills in schools and institutions that the new version of the scheme offers. The presentation draws on experiences form the AAU research projects Dagmar project (www.dagmar.plan.aau.dk), FRIDA project (www.frida.plan.aau.dk) and the SoL local community intervention (Health & Local Community, www.sol-bornholm.dk). It presents examples of food related hands-on food activities (HOFA’s) that can be implemented in schools It finally discusses how accompanying measures and hands on food activities in school can contribute to increased food & nutrition literacy and healthier and more sustainable food patterns.
