As part of the Regional Initiative for Promoting Small-scale Renewable Energy Applications in Rural Areas of the Arab Region (REGEND), ESCWA concluded last week a three-day workshop on “Good food manufacturing and hygiene practices and hygiene requirements for food storage” in Al-Achaari, Maan, Jordan, in partnership with the Arab Organization for Agricultural Development (AOAD) and the Arab Federation for Food Industries (AFFI).
