One egg a day is feeding the future — Bhutan's game-changing school meal initiative
March 29, 2026

School meals are a vital source of daily nutrition for many children. In Bhutan, FAO's "One-Child, One-Egg" initiative enhances these meals by adding one egg daily to school feeding programs.

Launched in 343 pilot schools, reaching around 32,000 students, this program aims to improve children's access to protein and micronutrients. It also supports local farmers and fosters more sustainable agrifood systems, demonstrating how small additions can make a significant difference.
