- W636693500 abstract "Adequate nutrition is crucial during childhood and a diet rich in micronutrients is vital for good physical growth and mental development and prevention of infectious diseases. Fruits and vegetables are a vital part of a balanced diet and a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A. Schools are increasingly recognized as important settings for promoting healthy nutrition and eating practices in children. This chapter reviews recent research from Africa and Asia on the effectiveness of food-based interventions to combat vitamin A deficiency. A few recent studies suggest that schools in developing countries can effectively channel nutrition support to a critical target group of children, using dietary solutions to improve vitamin A status. An outstanding question remains how such potentially life-giving dietary changes can most effectively be promoted and maintained on a larger scale. To respond to this question, this chapter also reviews current literature on school-based fruit and vegetable initiatives in developed and developing countries. Using country-based data, it then outlines the process and results of a pilot intervention carried out in urban Indian schools in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi to promote increased vegetable consumption through the Mid-day Meal (MDM) programme and create awareness among teachers and children on the health benefits of vegetables. Despite limitations in the intervention design, many lessons can be learnt from this pilot intervention. It shows that the introduction of vegetables into MDM is feasible and sustainable, provided that adequate funds are allocated. If used effectively, the MDM can become a major tool for improving vegetable consumption among school-aged children in urban and rural India." @default.
