FARMER FIELD SCHOOLS ON LAND AND WATER MANAGEMENT IN AFRICA subjects: Food and Nutrition and School Gardening Water Soil and land rights levels and types of education: Teachers' training
FAO _ FAO, ROME, 2008
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
English	This guide is targeted to extension workers and educators on rural development. This guide illustrates the process and the steeps to built a farmer field schools – an innovative approach to adult education to improve land and water management in Africa. Unlike traditional approaches to agricultural extension, which rely on extension workers providing advice to farmers, farmer field schools enable groups of farmers to find out the answers for themselves. That means the farmers can develop solutions to their own problems. The extension worker is a facilitator who guides the learning process, rather than a technical specialist who disseminates information.

English French Spanish Arabic Chinese Portuguese Kiswahili	This global educational initiative targets teachers in order to provide them with information and activities to introduce children to the issues of hunger, malnutrition, and food security. Easy teaching modules have been developed for each of three levels of education - primary, intermediate and secondary - all of which cover, in varying degrees of complexity, the topics of what are hunger and malnutrition, who are the hungry, why are people hungry and malnourished and what can we do to help end hunger. The materials have been designed as a starting point for teachers around the world to introduce these topics to their students. Teachers can adapt and refine the materials to meet local needs and conditions. In addition, a key component of the initiative is information sharing among teachers and students in such a way as to create an interactive forum for exchanging ideas and experiences around the world. The materials and the interactive, online framework encourage teachers to contribute additional lessons and activities leading toward creating a world free from hunger.

HOME GROWN SCHOOL FEEDING: A FRAMEWORK TO LINK SCHOOL FEEDING WITH LOCAL AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION subjects: Food and Nutrition and School Gardening levels and types of education: Primary education
WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME _ WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME , 2009
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
English	In the broadest sense, home-grown school feeding (HGSF) is a school feeding programme that provides food produced and purchased within a country to the extent possible. The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has collaborated with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) and other partners to develop an approach to HGSF. This document is a culmination of these efforts. It focuses in particular on linking school feeding programmes with local small-scale farmer production by creating an ongoing market for small landholders (“smallholders”). More in-depth case studies are also available for Home-Grown School Feeding Programmes in four countries (Brazil, Ghana, India and Thailand). This study is an useful tool for policy makers.

ZAMBIAN BASIC EDUCATION COURSE, NUTRITION EDUCATION. PUPIL'S BOOK GRADE 2 subjects: Food and Nutrition and School Gardening Education and Training Planning Tools levels and types of education: Primary education

___________________________________________________________________________________________________
English Bemba	This guide addresses children and teachers in Zambia. Among children in many countries chronic malnutrition is widespread. Although comprehensive data do not exist for the school-age population, the indications are that under nutrition and micronutrient deficiencies continue to impede the growth of children when they reach school, while also reducing their capacity and motivation to learn. Nutrition and health education, as part of an integrated approach to health promotion, can contribute to improving the health of school-age children and, in the long term, of the population as a whole. To complement existing initiatives under the School Health and Nutrition Programme in Zambia, FAO assisted the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Zambia to develop an up-to-date nutrition education curriculum. Educational materials for teachers and pupils on locally relevant aspects of nutrition, health and hygiene have been produced. The Pupil's Book and Teacher's Book for Grade 2 children are examples of the new books, which will be made available through the Zambian national education system.
