Within the framework of the EU’s school fruit, vegetables and milk scheme, only cow’s milk and cow’s milk products are sold to pupils at a discount.

EVU believes this programme, designed to improve the health of young Europeans, educate them, and increase the consumption of fruit, vegetables, and dairy, leaves many young people behind.

Therefore, EVU calls for the inclusion of plant-based dairy alternatives and a focus on distributing fruit and vegetables as well as nutritional and environmental education.
