[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education will hold an ‘Ecological Environment Meal Festival’ with students, parents, and the local community at the South Gate Plaza of Ulsan Grand Park on the 19th.

The festival, themed ‘Learn! Taste! Enjoy! Ecological Environment Meals,’ is hosted by the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education and supported by the Ulsan School Meal Nutrition Teachers Association, Nutrition Society, and Culinary Society.

In the ‘Learn’ section, activities include ▲Understanding the carbon footprint of foods ▲Getting familiar with vegetables ▲Exhibition of student educational activity results ▲Earth Love Cooking Class ▲Making eco-friendly fruit juice recycled flower pots.

In the ‘Taste’ section, tasting experiences will be offered featuring winning recipes from the school meal recipe contest, including Plant Burger, Tofu Scramble Ssambap, Eggplant Vegan Bulgogi Stir-fry, and Healthy Vegan Malatang.

In the ‘Enjoy’ section, 30 teams of students and parents will operate a barter market and promote local agricultural products in collaboration with Ulju-gun as well as meal ingredients supplied to schools.

This event is designed not to limit school meals to activities within the school but to expand to parents, local residents, and local farms so that everyone can protect students’ health and learn about environmental protection together.

A parent who participated on-site with an elementary school child said, “I was surprised that school meals are not just about providing one meal but are expanded into the educational domain so that students can develop it as a lifestyle habit themselves, and that many people are working hard in many fields to make that happen.”

An education office official said, “We plan to do our best to create the future of Ulsan school meals truly for students together with school meal stakeholders.”
