Being a key player in meeting food and nutrition security in the nation, the Ministry of Agriculture has been in collaboration with the NFNC towards the attainment of a nutrition sensitive agriculture sector. Emphasis has been placed on reducing malnutrition with particular focus on stunting. This has been done through promotion of home gardens to increase production and diversity of crops and livestock. This is expected to lead to dietary diversity and thus improve nutrition at household level. In addition, promoting safe food processing, preservation and storage to increase availability during the dry seasons is also being advocated for.
