    An account of the consultation at the FAO regional office in Bangkok from 17 to 20 July 2007, attended by 20 nutrition experts from 11 member countries. In Asia the co-existence of undernutrition and obesity is becoming more widespread and imposes an additional burden on already stretched social and health care services, especially in urban areas. Improving the nutritional status of school-age children is an effective investment for the future. Schools offer many opportunities to promote health y dietary patters, influence lifestyle choices for children and engage parents and community members in preventing children's malnutrition. This report provides a summary of the presentations and discussions on policies and programmes on school based nutrition in selected countries in Asia. Outcomes of the working groups and recommendations for FAO and country action to promote school based nutrition are also included.
