Spanish Child Poverty: School Meals Combat Food Insecurity for 30%
Nearly 30% of families with children in Spain are at risk of poverty or social exclusion, making school canteens crucial for ensuring children receive balanced and healthy meals essential for their well-being and future.
Almost 30% of families with children in Spain are at risk of poverty or social exclusion. This means many children don't regularly get fresh, balanced, and healthy food, which harms their well-being, health, and future.
At Albi, we see every day in schools how food can truly help create equality. Often, the school canteen is the only place where children are guaranteed to get enough quality protein, fish, fruits, vegetables, and fresh food.
Studies show that many children go home to less healthy options like pizza, processed foods, or canned goods. These are often cheaper and easier to get than fresh food. Because of this, school canteens are crucial for making sure children get a balanced, safe, and healthy meal every day.
For Albi, this isn't just a social discussion; it's deeply connected to children's well-being and their chances in life. Eating well directly impacts how children learn, behave, develop physically and mentally, and ultimately, their future.
Our team of nutritionists, food technologists, and chefs works daily to create menus that meet children's real needs. We focus on food safety, nutritional balance, and sustainability.
Our goal is to make food a path to well-being, not something that holds children back from a bright future.
