The Ethiopian Horticulture Producer Exporters Association (EHPEA) has conducted Training of Trainers (TOT) on Basic Nutrition Skills and Food Safety, aimed at equipping peer educators with the necessary knowledge and practical skills to cascade nutrition education and food safety practices to their fellow employees at the workplace.

In line with Workforce Nutrition Education initiative, the three-day Training program was conducted on 28-30 October 2026. It was attended by 115 selected peer educators, representing various departments across 10 horticulture farms in four clusters.

Through this peer educator approach, the initiative has been designed to promote healthier eating habits, improve food safety awareness, and encourage a healthier and safer working environment across participating horticulture farms.

The Training focused on balanced nutrition, nutrition budgeting, healthy food choices, and the use of locally available and affordable nutritious foods.
