Background Information The main purpose of the UN/FAO World Food Programme (WFP) project is the feeding of students at the Technical Institute for Agriculture, some 25 miles south of Guatemala City. The Institute offers both general and specialized courses in various aspects of agricultural training and it also maintains an experimental livestock farm. Tuition, food and lodging are free for an annual average of 524 students, most of whom come from very poor families from all over the country. Following their training at the Institute, the students return to their homes where they assist in the introduction of improved agricultural methods. WFP rations, including cheese, wheat flour, bulgur wheat, dried skim milk, edible oil and sorghum are being supplied over a period of five years at a total cost to WFP of $263,000.
