Food Security Should Also Support Better Nutrition
Producing more food is important, but strong nutrition also depends on food variety, household choices, preparation and understanding of dietary needs. Wings For The Nations intends to hold nutrition seminars that connect agriculture with practical household wellbeing.
Seminar themes may include
- Balanced household food choices
- Using locally available foods effectively
- The role of vegetables, animal-source foods and diverse diets
- Child and family nutrition awareness
- Food hygiene and safe handling
- Kitchen-garden and household food-production ideas
- Reducing avoidable food waste
- Connecting farm planning with household nutrition needs
Education within professional competence
Nutrition seminars provide general education. Clinical or medical nutrition needs require qualified healthcare professionals and an appropriate referral.
