“…Two studies aimed to enhance existing school-based dietary interventions by adding messaging to outline the environmental benefits that can be achieved by eating more fruit and vegetables. Although the impact of this approach was not demonstrated in this scoping review, incorporating environmental messaging into the school curriculum, in subjects such as Geography and Science, to promote climate change literacy is an approach that has been successfully adopted previously [57][58][59]. Therefore, school curriculum-based interventions with a focus on food system literacy may be feasible.…”

School food systems play a role in the wider food system, but there is a scarcity of literature exploring interventions that aim to improve the environmental sustainability of school food systems. The present review aimed to understand and describe the types of interventions that have previously been explored to strengthen the sustainability of school food systems along with their impact. We applied a scoping review methodology guided by Arksey and O’Malley, which included a review of the online database Scopus and the grey literature. Information relating to intervention design, study population, evaluation method and impact were extracted. In total, 6016 records were screened for eligibility, 24 of which were eligible for inclusion. The most common types of interventions were school lunch menus designed to be more sustainable; school food waste reduction; sustainable food system education using school gardens; and dietary interventions with added environmental components. This review highlights a range of interventions which could positively influence the environmental sustainability of school food systems. Further research is needed to explore the effectiveness of such interventions.

The purpose of the study is to substantiate the principles of the formation of students' competencies in the circular economy in the pedagogical and ecological aspect, taking into account the achievement of the sustainable development goals. The methodological basis of the research is the systematic approach, which in pedagogy is aimed at revealing the value of pedagogical objects, identifying their various forms, components, types and relationships between them, which makes it possible to present the acquisition of competences among students for activities in the conditions of the circular economy as a whole presentation of actions using various forms, methods, means of teaching students in heigher education institutions. In the article, the epistemology of social challenges in the direction of achieving the sustainable development goals due to the implementation of the principles of the circular economy and the need in this context for the formation of relevant competencies of students of higher education institutions is substantiated. The characteristics that should correspond to the competence of the circular economy according to the characteristics of the integrated quality of the individual have been determined. The components that form the competences of the circular economy have been identified, which include: axiological, cognitive, practical-technological, and institutional.

“…Furthermore, schools play a crucial role in shaping children's understanding and awareness of environmental conservation (Cannon et al, 2023;Kaloumaira et al, 2023). Besides providing knowledge about conservation issues, schools can also play an active role in teaching sustainable practices and environmental ethics to students (Mongar, 2023). However, the implementation of conservation at the school level often faces challenges.…”
