School lunch programs that provide locally sourced, organic, humane and nutritious foods are an effective way to ensure that half of what students eat on a daily basis is healthy, according to Food Tank.

Recently, the nonprofit group compiled a list of the top 16 school lunch programs working toward improving students’ health. Baltimore City Public School System took top honors as a result of its Meatless Mondays program and use of a teaching farm, while Berkeley Unified School District in California came in second for its commitment to nutritious and locally sourced food.
