Nutrition & Food Security

NYDT is much concerned with community nutrition by addressing stunting issues to the community in order to reduce the situation. To promote nutrition and food security we encourage the community at household level to involve in production of vegetables using simple technology of sac gardening, involve in poultry keeping ensuring that pregnant mothers access nutritious food like vitamins, minerals, fat and starch. On the other hand breast feeding mothers are encouraged to breastfeed their children exclusively for six months. NYDT uses deviant persons of the villages as model for achievement of the goal. We identify existing groups in the villages to share information about stunting, nutrition and food preparation for nutritious meals.

Additionally, as far as post- harvest management and technology, emphasis is on storage of grain using modern technologies. We encourage grain farmers to use new developed sacks for farmers for grain safety.
