The results identified23 different strategies in the 13 studied schools. There is an emphasis in Informal Instructions by Teachers during School Meals andLessons in all schools. They approach subjects such as Alimentary Habits and Health, and the Menu is the main resource. The schoolwith more varieties of strategies mobilized the school community to maintain a truck farm as a base of its pedagogical project.
