Training in Food Processing

This book shows how to provide effective training in food processing, which can open up opportunities for individuals who lack business experience. It explains the importance of needs assessment, course preparation, monitoring and follow-up, and the value of practical work and opportunities for trainers to discuss their ideas and discoveries. With examples of forms and lesson plans, photographs of appropriate training environments, practical case studies and details of institutions that support food processing training, there is a wealth of information for trainers and organizers of training courses throughout the world.
