INOVAÇÃO
What makes your idea unique?
Food insecurity and poor nutrition in the developing countries will continue to persist on the subsistence food production households. In our situation on the Lake region, the main staple foods are maize and fish, the unreliable rainfall have reduced the sustainable maize yields to very little or nil, the fish catch have also reduced due to the invasion of water hyacinth which hinders fishing. This region needs an alternative approach to the poor nutrition due to food insecurity.
