You can not talk about nutrition without first addressing the problem of food insecurity. The vulnerable group (both women and children) in the poverty riddened society hear no language of balance diet; they are after getting their daily meal to survive first. Hence, agricultural programmes of the country should be reviewed and government should be able to develop the political will to achieve increase food production, organise food policy that will incorporate small scale farmers into government programmes. A sustainable solution that encourages and create incentives for people to produce more food for themselves is also advocated; this, i think can be achived through subsidizing the basic inputs ( such as fertilizer, improved seeds and seedlings) and timely dessemination of innovative technologies to the small scale farmers that are scattered all over the country.
