How to use the site...

The aim of this programme is to help you develop a system for managing food procurement in a sustainable way. In order to do that you need information about the topics involved and a management system to help implement and manage changes.

Navigation

The left hand navigation relates to the topics you need to consider. Each has a series of screens to help you get to grips with the topics. You will follow through from about the issue, to information, devloping a plan and last links to other sources of information on the web. To help you there is a navigation bar to follow.

go to issue go to information go to plan go to links

The top navigation is the management system, start with review and work your way along to promote. As you progress through the topics you will want to include information and ideas into your management system. There are links to tasks you will need to carry out as a manager to implement a system. Skilled workers and other staff have also been set tasks, these will help you gain commitment and involve other people in the business with what you are doing.

The right hand navigation contains the basic help tools you may need wherever you are in the programme e.g. search engine, glossary, contact us.

Play about with the navigation for a short time until you are confident that you can find your way around the programme.
