ABSTRACT.
Currently, food products and complex diets are considered not only as a source of essential nutrients
for the body, providing its energy needs, but also as a means of managing the health of society and a means of improving the quality of life. Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems are being developed to improve diets and implement
these capabilities. Particular emphasis is placed on their use in organized groups, particularly in the context of school
nutrition. The goal of the work was a comprehensive hygienic assessment of the organization of meals for schoolchildren in an educational organization using a nutrition monitoring and evaluation (M&E) program. The research materials
included monitoring data and the results of control and supervisory activities carried out in educational institutions
(n=6,852). The study involved scientific analysis methods, M&E system development and descriptive statistics analysis. Systematic study and monitoring of interrelated nutritional indicators in different population groups will help improve the quality of life, taking into account economic, environmental and other aspects of sustainable development.
KEYWORDS: nutrition monitoring, diets, schoolchildren, educational organizations.
