  1. Putting the review of agrobiodiversity in school meals alongside the finding that contemporary wheat cultivars fall short of zinc, iron and protein targets raises a question about what counts as success. A more diverse school menu is not automatically a more nutritious meal: crop selection needs to account for nutrient content and what children actually eat. That would give the shift away from yield alone a concrete test without treating diversity itself as proof of better nutrition.
