This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
This practice is linked to ensuring the correct dissemination of information between the public administration and companies in the agri-food sector. Different topics have been addressed, all related to the fight against food fraud and its prevention. The training project was originated with the aim of raising awareness and offering practical and useful tools to agri-food companies to improve food fraud prevention.
To achieve the objectives in an effective way, several training sessions are held annually throughout the region of Catalonia, to reach all locations.
The interested parties and beneficiaries of these training activities are both the personnel of agri-food companies, as well as private quality and food security advisers, public personnel and / or all those whose work is related to the food sector.

Resources needed
The resources used for this purpose have been human resources.
Evidence of success
Since the start of these training courses, there has been an increase in the participation of attendants, also more and more companies in the agri-food sector are demanding more activities to help them better understand the news in agri-food regulations, support them to have the same vision as the official control body and to work in a better and more effective way, to be up to date with all the news related to the control of food fraud.
Potential for learning or transfer
This practice is of great interest because it involves using existing staff resources, which will spend time studying on a topic related to food fraud, quality control, food authenticity, etc. In our case, it is the basic subject of work, so that both inspectors and the public attending training activities end up learning more about the topics covered and improving their aptitude and professional knowledge. Both the official personnel who teach the courses and the attendees will share points of view and experiences, and from this, the organizers of the course can also take advantage of the feedback from the sector to know their opinion or conclusions and improve their work
