The National Nutrition Council X beefs up the efforts of Misamis Oriental in promoting good nutrition through the conduct of 18 batches of Training of Barangay Implementers on Promote Good Nutrition (PGN) in October to November this year. The training will cover 544 participants composed of Barangay Nutrition Scholars, Barangay Health Workers, Rural Health Midwives and Mother Leaders coming from the 136 target barangays. 

The training program equips participants with the knowledge and skills in the promotion of good nutrition through   Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF), Pabasa sa Nutrisyon (PSN), Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos (NGF) and the Promotion of Egg and Vegetable Consumption. 

The Promote Good Nutrition Program was started by NNC in 2007 as a component of the Accelerated Hunger Mitigation Program started in 2007 which aims to improve the nutrition knowledge, attitudes and practices of families to increase demand for adequate, nutritious and safe food. The trainings for the remaining 113 barangays of Misamis Oriental as a priority four (4) area will be completed in 2015.
