Food, nutrition and agriculture : a project to introduce the study of nutrition into the training of agriculturists in Southeast Asia

The consultant met with key professionals in Rome, reviewed the status of nutrition education in the four project countries, and presented a workpaper (cf. PD-AAI-121) in the Philippines which outlined a postsecondary agricultural training curriculum stressing nutrition content. Following the workshop, the consultant discussed plans to adopt the curriculum in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. The consultant recommmends that a great deal of follow-up be done. Student and instructor manuals and library materials are badly needed. Workshops to prepare teachers will have to be undertaken.
