Basics of organizing staff nutrition at agricultural enterprises

Abstract

Nutrition is an innate biological need and a prerequisite for a long and healthy life. However, improper eating behavior, any violation of food intake, its quality and quantity affects a person’s health and his life expectancy, as well as his performance. In agricultural production, it is quite difficult to organize meals for staff due to the large geography of the location of facilities, as well as the delivery of lunches to work teams located in the field. To successfully solve the problem of providing food to the staff of agricultural enterprises, the authors suggested a general scheme of enterprise activity. We examined six blocks representing organizational measures aimed at organizing proper and healthy nutrition for personnel at agricultural enterprises. In our opinion, all aspects of the employer’s activities in this area are covered. To solve the identified organizational issues, a team of specialists from various professions is required, which in turn will require financial costs. However, proper organization of staff nutrition directly affects ensuring a healthy lifestyle and, as a result, high labor productivity, which in turn is the ultimate goal of any enterprise.
