Terms Of Reference: Training Of Trainers On Regenerative Farming
GHI background:
For over a decade, Gardens for Health International has been working at the intersection of health and agriculture to provide community based, participatory solutions to malnutrition.
By operating at the nexus of agriculture and health, GHI helps families end the cycle of poverty and poor health and address the root causes of malnutrition. We do this by partnering with government health clinics and schools to bring agricultural solutions and nutrition education to families and communities in need.
Our roots are in Rwanda and we work hand-in-hand with families and communities to meet their nutritional needs and moreover, to thrive. Our model targets families with malnourished children and pregnant women at risk for malnutrition by providing them with the skills, knowledge, and resources to fight malnutrition in their homes and in their fields

Our innovative curriculum on agriculture, nutrition and health was designed in partnership with the local community to respond to gaps with community tailored solutions.
We believe in changing systems, not treating symptoms. Integrating agriculture and nutrition into the health system is the only sustainable solution to effectively treat and prevent malnutrition.
Gardens for Health International believes and promotes responsible agriculture. It’s against this background that GHI has partnered with Regenerosity to promote regenerative farming practices that contribute to thriving communities, healthy ecosystems, and a stab
One of the key project’s goals is to raise awareness and appreciation of regenerative farming within actors in the agriculture and nutrition space. Thus, Gardens for Health International has organized a three-day workshop on Regenerative Agriculture and nutrition from the 16th-18th November 2022.
