Sofia Forum to Develop
Training Programme
for Small Dairy Producers


Sofia, April 24 (BTA) - Representatives of 11 countries are gathering in Sofia on April 24 and 25 to build tools useful for the dissemination of the EU Guide for Good Hygiene Practices in the production of artisan cheeses and dairy products, the organizers said.

Entitled "Teacheesy", the project is implemented with the support of the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union. Bioselena Foundation for Organic Agriculture is the Bulgarian partner. Participants also include organisations, producers and experts from the Farmhouse and Artisan Cheese & Dairy Producers European Network (FACE), from Bulgaria, the UK, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Poland, France, Finland, the Netherlands and Sweden.

The objective of TEACHEESY is to build tools useful for phasing in the standards set forth by the EU Guide for Good Hygiene Practices (GGHP) in the production of artisan cheese and dairy products, elaborated by the FACE network and endorsed by the European Commission in 2016. These tools will mostly be training kits and technical tools addressed to the producers and technicians in the diary sector.

The programme will be translated into 24 languages and will be accessible to producers and training organization.

For the TEACHEESY partnership, the first sessions will be used as an assessment in real conditions of the tools prepared, with the goal to improve them afterwards if necessary. From early 2019, producers will be trained with the definitive common tools elaborated within the program.

The TEACHEESY programme aims to launch from 2019 a big scale training process addressed to European small scale producers.

During these training sessions, producers will learn how to use the European GGHP to build their own Food Safety Management System in order to be able to explain the validity of their practices and to comply with their regulatory requirements.
The total cost of the programme is estimated to 283,205 euro. It will be fully funded by Erasmus+./LN/BR
