Short description

The project is designed to organize communities for training on how to manage a proper balanced diet. In this case we shall provide trainings to farmers that brings high yield and income.

The problem we aim to solve

We would like to tackle poor diet systems since most people in villages still defend on only one type of diet for a daily basis, this is due to high level of poverty which leaves many village people with limited access to proper diet. We shall organize people in groups so that we can provide and guide them on how to balance their diet properly. We shall also provide knowledge and skills on modern agriculture so that we make all diets available for people in the villages, encouraging farmers to carry out good agricultural practices and agribusiness development skills will provide high and good quality yield that will make them to get income and fight against poverty since it is the cause to hidden hunger in our communities.

Our solution

The hunger problems can be prevented by good balanced diet. Diet which is not well balanced cannot fight hidden hunger since most food nutrients will be lacking in our body, this good balance diet can only be seen by encouraging farmers to carry out good agricultural practices and encouraging agribusiness development that will make good yield hence fighting poverty and hunger. This will increase dietary diversity in the community. Dietary diversity is associated with better child nutritional outcome, even when controlling for socioeconomic factors. In the long term, dietary diversification ensures a healthy diet that contains a balanced and adequate combination of macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats and proteins); essential micronutrients and other food-based substance such as dietary fiber. A variety of cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables and animal-source food provides adequate nutrition for most people, although certain populations such as pregnant women, may need supplements. Effective ways to promote dietary diversity involve food-based strategies such as home gardening and educating people on better infant and young child feeding practices, food preservation, and storage/prevention methods to prevent nutrient loss ways. This will help to fight hidden hunger.
