EVENTS AND PRESENTATIONS CONTINUED
In May, the Urban School Food Alliance convened a one-of-a-kind group of school food leaders at The Culinary Institute of America’s Texas Campus in San Antonio. During the weeklong event, Alliance members participated in sessions led by top culinary trainers, on topics ranging from cooking techniques to recipe development and child nutrition history. In addition to the sessions led by a chef and registered dietitian, the week was rich with best practice sharing and innovation among district staff. The group represented a diverse mix of school nutrition roles and responsibilities, including district chefs, dietitians, kitchen managers, and training staff. By leveraging their unique perspectives and expertise, attendees co-created solutions that not only produced healthy, delicious food for students, but also resulted in production and procurement strategies that center around sustainability, equity, efficiency, and waste reduction.

PARTNERSHIPS DRIVE INNOVATION “Bringing like-minded individuals together for this style of learning is paramount to helping move the entire institution of school feeding forward. People that are passionate about what they do, and have new approaches and ideas, but with a common goal can only bring about a successful outcome.” Chef Andrew Urbanetti | Assistant Director of Culinary Programs for Boston Public Schools
