The Nutrition and Food Security Alliance of Namibia engaged stakeholders in an effort to support and strengthen food security.

The initiative will link food banks with existing programmes such as backyard gardens and the Total Control of the Epidemic project.

Fish consumption patterns in Namibia have increased over the years, especially in the northern regions.

In the drive to promote fish consumption, the Namibia Fish Consumption Promotion Trust (NFCPT) will hold the 13th National Fish Consumption Day in September at Rundu to encourage local consumption.

The 10th African Day of School Feeding was commemorated at Swakopmund, celebrating the progress made with school feeding programmes across Africa. 

In the Erongo Region, approximately 34 schools, benefiting well over 11,000 learners, directly benefit from the school feeding programme.

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), the Capricorn Foundation, and the University of Namibia (UNAM) have teamed up to help farmers turn their crops into valuable products.
