Asuncion, IP Agency.- The National Service for Professional Promotion (SNPP) promotes, in its different offices in the Central department, courses in the area of gastronomy within the framework of the Zero Hunger Program, which seeks to improve food security and nutrition for school-age children.
On this occasion, through the SNPP Training and Capacity Building Directorate of Guarambaré, the opening of the courses for cooks and kitchen assistants was given, which have a workload of 20 hours, of which one of the classes is developed at the same headquarters and the other at the 14 de Julio School.
On the other hand, through the SNPP Directorate of Training and Capacity Building of Nueva Italia, basic cooking courses were started, distributed in seven schools in the city of Nueva Italia and 7 (seven) Schools in the city of Villeta.
These trainings are carried out in conjunction with the company Grupo Altair SA, whose employees are trained in this project, and are also responsible for providing the supplies for the development of the classes.
The new 20-hour training courses will focus on strengthening local capacities to produce quality food, thereby promoting food security and reducing waste. In addition, this initiative is expected to contribute to aligning development policies at the national level.
With this project, the Government seeks to improve the nutritional quality of food served in schools, strengthen local production and ensure that all children have access to adequate nutrition.
The Zero Hunger Program in schools provides food coverage for 1.3 million students nationwide. According to previous analyses, the resources allocated to school meals are insufficient, as are the controls to ensure that food arrives in the quantity and quality that it should have. Therefore, the Government seeks to substantially improve these food security and nutrition indices in children, in addition to increasing class attendance, achieving 100% coverage of school lunches up to ninth grade.

This initiative aims to improve food security and nutrition for school-age children, aligning with the government’s development policies at the national level.
Courses for Cooks and Kitchen Assistants
The SNPP Training and Capacity Building Directorate of Guarambaré has launched courses for cooks and kitchen assistants, with a workload of 20 hours. These courses will be developed in two locations: the SNPP headquarters and the 14 de Julio School. Similarly, the SNPP Directorate of Training and Capacity Building of Nueva Italia has started basic cooking courses, distributed across seven schools in the city of Nueva Italia and seven schools in the city of Villeta.
Partnership with Grupo Altair SA
These trainings are being carried out in conjunction with the company Grupo Altair SA, whose employees are being trained in this project. Grupo Altair SA is also responsible for providing the necessary supplies for the development of the classes.
Objectives of the Initiative
The new 20-hour training courses will focus on strengthening local capacities to produce quality food, thereby promoting food security and reducing waste. This initiative is expected to contribute to aligning development policies at the national level. Ultimately, the government aims to improve the nutritional quality of food served in schools, strengthen local production, and ensure that all children have access to adequate nutrition.
Relevance to Food Safety and Hygiene
Food safety and hygiene are critical components of gastronomy. In a related development, a talk on food safety and hygiene was conducted by experts from the National Institute of Nutrition (INAN) [1]. This topic is essential for ensuring that food is handled, prepared, and served safely to prevent foodborne illnesses.
Online Food Platforms and Gastronomy
In today’s digital age, online food platforms have become increasingly popular. SnappFood, an online food ordering platform in Iran, allows users to search and order food from various restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets [2]. This platform has revolutionized the way people order food, making it convenient and accessible.
Restaurants and Gastronomy
Gastronomy is not limited to food safety and hygiene; it also encompasses the culinary experience offered by restaurants. The Simpsons Wiki lists various restaurants, each with its unique menu and atmosphere [3]. Restaurants play a vital role in promoting gastronomy and providing consumers with a wide range of culinary options.
Conclusion
The SNPP’s initiative to promote gastronomy courses is a step in the right direction towards improving food security and nutrition for school-age children in Paraguay. By strengthening local capacities in food production, this initiative is expected to contribute to aligning development policies at the national level. As the importance of food safety and hygiene continues to grow, it is essential to prioritize gastronomy in the pursuit of a healthier and more sustainable food system.

Zero Hunger Program
The Zero Hunger Program in schools provides food coverage for 1.3 million students nationwide. However, previous analyses have shown that the resources allocated to school meals are insufficient, and the controls to ensure that food arrives in the quantity and quality it should have are inadequate. Therefore, the Government seeks to substantially improve these food security and nutrition indices in children, in addition to increasing class attendance, achieving 100% coverage of school lunches up to ninth grade.
Connection to Employment Opportunities
In addition to improving food security and nutrition, this initiative also has the potential to create new employment opportunities in the field of gastronomy. According to[[[1]], a technological tool will connect SNPP course graduates with effective job opportunities, creating new opportunities in each department.
Vocational Training
This initiative is also similar to vocational training programs, such as the Dual Methodology Vocational Training Programme, which involves 3,600 clocked hours of training over two years[[[3]]. The programme includes a mid-term assessment and a final assessment, and is designed to provide trainees with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in their chosen field.
Online Courses
For those interested in pursuing online courses related to gastronomy and food security, there are options available, such as the TAP Online courses offered by the Military Occupational Crossing (MOC)[[[2]]. These courses cover a range of topics, including employment fundamentals, financial planning, and managing transition.
the SNPP’s promotion of gastronomy courses is a significant step towards improving food security and nutrition for school-age children in the Central department. By providing training and capacity building, this initiative has the potential to create new employment opportunities, improve local production, and align development policies at the national level.
