This essay aims at rising discussions on the building of strategies on public policies to meet special dietary needs in the school environment, in light of the interdisciplinarity of Nutrition Science and Bioethics, with the intent to reach food and nutritional security and the human right to adequate food. This reflection is supposed to motivate the development of lines and inter-institutional research networks, contributing to the production and implementation of nutritional and food security indicators for the management of public policies in the context of special dietary needs.
