France’s School Food: Can 'Taste Education' Lead to Sustainability?
In France, school food is explicitly connected to well-being and sustainability, echoing the French state’s broader commitment to promoting public health, supporting farmers, advancing social equity, and mitigating climate change. The government has institutionalized ‘taste education’ in public policy as a recommended food pedagogy since the 2010s. While ‘taste education’ is regarded as a ‘prototype’ of food education for neighbouring countries in Europe, it is not well understood by those outside Europe, and its connections to school meals have been underexplored. Drawing mainly on recent policy-oriented texts, this paper provides an overview of France’s school meals policy and practice, including the relationships between food education and school meals, and raises some critical questions about the focus on “taste”. The paper concludes by considering the implications of spreading French policy and practice as ‘proven solutions’ worldwide. That is, should Taiwan or other East Asian countries follow the French model?

School Food for Sustainabilty: Modern Science or Traditional Worldviews (世界觀)?
Around the World, there is a growing consensus that school food is one key to a sustainable future. Leading global organizations have issued major reports, and funding for school food has surged. However, there is much less consensus on ‘how’ to improve school food. Anglo-American countries continue to pursue a ‘scientific’ approach, while France explores ‘taste education’ and Finland persists in welfarism. What about East Asia, which has several of the most prominent ‘School Food’ systems in the World? Taking Japan as an example, what is striking is the ‘return’ to traditional worldviews – culture, cosmologies, philosophies, religion, and so on. In this context, what about Taiwan? Do traditional worldviews remain? Are these cultural traditions a help or hinderance to making the ‘turn’ to sustainability? Should these traditions be further cultivated in the push for better ‘Green School Food’ or instead replaced by a more scientific approach? Rather than providing definitive answers, this talk compares various countries worldwide, and then invites the audience to discuss and debate these questions in relation to Taiwan’s current situation.
臺灣的學校午餐,早年以補充營養、讓孩子吃得飽為目標,後來逐漸重視食材安全,近年更推動國產可溯源食材,讓一餐午餐連結起在地農業與食育。大享食育協會長期投入學校午餐的倡議與國際交流,我們也一直很好奇:當世界各國紛紛把學校午餐視為通往永續的關鍵,國際的趨勢是什麼?值得我們持續思考與跟進。
本次講座邀請香港教育大學望月要子副教授與香港大學 Jeremy Rappleye 教授,以「全球學校午餐潮流回應農業與環境永續」為題,從法國的「味覺教育」談到日本向傳統世界觀的回歸,帶領我們看見全球學校午餐的發展趨勢,也一起思考臺灣可以借鏡什麼、又有哪些值得珍惜與保留的傳統。
講座全程以英文進行,並搭配中文字幕,歡迎大家踴躍參加。
