As main food suppliers, agrifood small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play a critical role in this endeavor. This training package spans across range of topics - from healthy diets to food safety management, from foods processing and its impact on nutrition, to marketing and agribusiness management - to support agrifood SMEs to integrate a “nutrition perspective” in their business models and practices. The present facilitator guide is the entry point to the training package and includes a set of handouts, and links to two questionnaires to tailor the program to participants needs, and ten PowerPoint presentations to be used in training sessions for agrifood SMEs. -
