UPND WILL PUT FOOD ON YOUR TABLES UPND will prioritize improving and diversifying agriculture in Zambia to increase the quality and quantity of food available at household level. Several interventions such as mechanization, extension services, timely distribution of subsidized inputs such as seed and fertilizer, adequate storage and orderly crop marketing strategy. Training nutritionists to be deployed in all districts is also a long term objective. The NFNC must also be empowered to engage in research that encourages local fortification using what people produce in those areas. For example, if cassava is known to contain a certain set of vitamins, encourage the people to mix it with normal mealie meal. This is what UPND aims at doing, to encourage home grown solutions and dietary diversity using the National Food Nutrition Commision
