In Spain and Nicaragua, authorities are implementing programs to improve nutritional habits among schoolchildren. In the Valencian Community, Spain, a report by CODiNuCoVa indicates high family support for including dietitians in schools and adopting sustainable dining models using local products. 

In Nicaragua, the Ministry of Education, in partnership with INCAP, has introduced a three-month virtual course through the Universidad Nacional de Managua. This program focuses on food security, nutrition, and school gardens for educators and technical staff, incorporating projects such as tilapia cultivation and the regulation of school kiosks.
