Dear All,
My contribution to discussion on policy arena on nutrition enhancing agriculture and food system is given here.
From my experience, efforts towards improving good nutrition outcome and improving the food system are still disintegrated, there is missing link and lack of collaboration between the agencies responsible. The health sector are primarily focusing on interventions to improve nutrition outcome, while the agriculture and livestock sector work on achieving food security. These two agencies are focal point for achieving positive results in nutrition and food system, however if policies are not compatible to each other then it makes it a harder task to reduce malnutrition and hunger. Linking and integration of policies are the best option on solving policy issues related reaching a harmonized framework on tackling food and nutrition problems.
