Abstract:

The Home-Grown School Feeding Program (HGSFP) was deemed a truly nutritious and educationally beneficial initiative upon its reintroduction. It was commendable considering the unstable state of the economy and the substandard domestic living conditions brought on by multifaceted poverty. To increase the nutritious intake of at least 2.5 million school-age children, the HGSFP set out to serve a meal a day in 2004. The targeted group at the time made up roughly 10% of all elementary school students. Perhaps not enough consideration has been given to whether the program's sustainability and imple

Abstract:

In Nigeria, the National Home-Grown School Feeding Program (NHGSFP) has the potential to support regional agricultural economies and give pupils wholesome meals. Nonetheless, a careful examination is necessary due to worries about its operational effectiveness and ethical purity. This study assesses how the NHGSFP affects academic achievement, school attendance, and community involvement. The study examines claims of misconduct and corruption in the program and suggests methods to improve ethics. The study's conclusions provide insight into how views of the NHGSFP are correlated with demograph

Micronutrient deficiencies are persistent in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), contributing to public health issues not only in the first 1000 days but throughout adolescence and into adulthood.

Foodshed approaches allow for the assessment of the theoretical food self-sufficiency capacity of a specific region based on biophysical conditions. Recent analyses show that the focus needs to be shifted from foodshed size portrayed as an isotropic circle to a commodity–group-specific spatial configuration of the foodshed that takes into account the socio-economic and biophysical conditions essential to the development of local food supply chains. We focused on a specific animal product (beef) and used an innovative modeling approach based on spatial analysis to detect the areas of the foodsh
