In order to lower the nation’s malnutrition rates, the Civil Society Scaling Up Nutrition Alliance (CSO-SUN) is pleading with the government to encourage the production of foods that satisfy society’s nutritional needs in the upcoming growing season.
Over 60% of Zambians live in poverty, according to Mathews Mhuru, the country’s CSO-SUN country coordinator, while 35% of the population has chronic malnutrition.
According to Mr. Mhuru, the nation’s capacity to provide food that satisfies the nation’s nutritional needs is constrained by food production and market accessibility.
According to him, focus should be given to Zambia’s food production in an effort to diversify local food production and alter dietary customs.
