Global Food Partners' course Fundamentals: Cage-free Egg Policy Development and Implementation was really useful for our team as we implement our cage-free commitment in Japan. It covers key aspects of our policy, including the cost of cage-free eggs, tips for working with our egg suppliers, and how to do effective stakeholder communications.

The online course is interesting and well-organised. It covers topics including the concept of cage-free production, flock health, and management practices. It gives an overview of how to manage and care for birds to ensure good welfare. The evaluation questions are helpful in keeping me focused. I would recommend the online course to my peers and students who are interested in learning about the cage-free system. Well done!

Thank you for giving me and other members of Sibanye Animal Welfare and Conservancy Trust the opportunity to enrol in this informative and well-structured course. I hope to use the information and lessons gained from this course to teach farmers, both subsistence and commercial, in Zimbabwe about the benefits of cage-free egg production. I am looking forward to driving behavioural change among local farmers to ensure better welfare for all birds in Zimbabwe.

Cage-free laying hens are increasingly accepted by consumers. It required farmers to learn new practices which are different from normal farming such as raising management, housing conditions, food management, health, behaviour and living conditions. This online course provides knowledge and understanding about cage-free farming to poultry workers to allow them to adjust the conditions of raising hens from conventional to cage-free farms.
